Stahl Marschiert by 3DR
[Style of Music: Primal and explosive Junkyard Folk-Metal. The rhythm is a driving, hypnotic industrial tribal beat played on scrap metal: booming oil-barrel drums, clanging hammers on anvils, and rattling chains. The main melody is carried by a raspy, droning, scrap-metal hurdy-gurdy and a distorted, wailing one-string slide guitar (Diddley Bow). The vocals are massive, guttural, shouted gang vocals in a fictional, percussive Germanic language, sung with drunken, barbaric energy.]

Lyrics
Intro
The sound of a lone, distorted slide guitar wails like a siren in the desert wind.
A single, massive BOOM from an oil-barrel drum.
The full, relentless tribal scrap-metal percussion kicks in, establishing a powerful, driving groove.
A guttural shout from the whole tribe: "HEY!"
Verse 1
The vocals are a rhythmic, chanted call-and-response over the driving beat.
[Lead] Wildes Feuer! [Tribe] FEUER!
[Lead] Wilder Klang! [Tribe] KLANG!
[Lead] Wilde Orcs! [Tribe] ORCS!
[Lead] Guter Zank! [Tribe] ZANK!
Chorus
The music explodes in intensity. The hurdy-gurdy joins with a furious, droning melody. The vocals are a massive, unified war cry.
HÄMMER HOCH! FEUER AN!
STAHL MARSCHIERT! WIR TANZEN DRAN!
HÄMMER HOCH! KRÜGE AN!
STAHL MARSCHIERT! WIR TANZEN DRAN!
Verse 2
The groove continues, hypnotic and threatening. The call-and-response feels more urgent.
[Lead] Eine Trommel! [Tribe] EINE!
[Lead] Ein Gesang! [Tribe] EINEN!
[Lead] Ork-Lord Stahl! [Tribe] STAHL!
[Lead] Untergang! [Tribe] GANG!
Chorus
The energy is at its peak. It's a furious, joyful, apocalyptic party.
HÄMMER HOCH! FEUER AN!
STAHL MARSCHIERT! WIR TANZEN DRAN!
HÄMMER HOCH! KRÜGE AN!
STAHL MARSCHIERT! WIR TANZEN DRAN!
Bridge / Breakdown
The music cuts to just the booming oil-barrel drums, a slow, heavy heartbeat.
The tribe stomps their feet and pounds their chests rhythmically.
A single, powerful voice chants, low and menacing:
Früher... Chaos.
Jetzt... Ordnung.
A pause, then he screams:
ANGST??? (FEAR???)
The whole tribe roars back:
NEIN!!! (NO!!!)
Guitar & Hurdy-Gurdy Solo
The full, frantic rhythm explodes back. The slide guitar and the hurdy-gurdy engage in a chaotic, wailing duel. It's the sound of a high-speed chase through a canyon of rust.
Outro
The song slams back into the chorus one last time, even faster and more unhinged.
HÄMMER HOCH! FEUER AN!
STAHL MARSCHIERT! WIR TANZEN DRAN!
The song ends abruptly with the sound of a final, massive hammer blow on an anvil that rings out and fades.
