[Intro – 1 bar feedback swell, drums crash in at 190 BPM] --- [Verse 1 – full speed, raspy] When their towers scream at the sky I throw the first stone to watch them die No going back, only forward, only attack From every crack a new road comes back. --- [Pre-chorus – tempo drops slightly, half-time feel, accent surfaces] Keine Gnade. Keine Furcht. (No mercy. No fear.) My fist is the verdict — my voice is the hearse. --- [Chorus – shouted, return to 190 BPM] First stone Erster Stein Everything must fall, everything must break First stone Erster Stein I clear the way with fire and iron --- [Verse 2 – same intensity as Verse 1] The old walls stand high and cold But I'm done with their lies and their hold No mercy, no grace, no turning around I throw the first stone — and then burn it down. --- [Bridge – spoken, dry, no reverb, German triggers heavy accent] "Kein Zurück. Nur der erste Schlag. Sie fragen nach Erlaubnis? Ich gebe nur Antworten." (No turning back. Only the first strike. They ask for permission? I only give answers.) [Drums and guitars explode back in] --- [Final Chorus – same as chorus, but last line in German] First stone Erster Stein The towers are screaming — I make them silent First stone Erster Stein Hanna der Stürmer — Ich mach' den Anfang --- [Outro – single power chord, let ring, then cut to silence]
