The Retaliation

German power metal band with folk metal elements, post-post-hardcore

[Intro]
(Instrumental intro – Fast, driving industrial riff with a constant metallic clang/hammer beat)

[Verse 1]
(Gritty Male Vocals, steady rhythm)
Dwarven inventors, hands black with soot,
Found a new powder, to bear poisonous fruit.
Forging new weapons, a strange metal form,
The first usable **PISTOL**, to weather the storm!
Working tirelessly, through the day and the night,
To sway the whole battle, and bring back the light!

[Pre-Chorus]
(Vocals rise, riff gets slightly more frantic)
But the tide has turned slow, the struggle bites deep,
For years into conflict, the harvest we reap.
These new deadly weapons, demand a high price!
Money and metals, locked under the ice!

[Chorus]
(Power Metal, Tempo up, High-energy, Shouted/Layered Vocals)
**HARD INTO THE MINE!**
**PUSH HARD INTO THE MINE!** KING KOGRAETH GIVES THE WORD!
**TAKE BACK WHAT IS OURS!** LET OUR BATTLE CRY BE HEARD!
FORGE MORE BLACK POWDER! LET THE **PISTOLS** FIRE TRUE!
A GLORY OF EMPIRE! BUILT BY ME AND BY YOU!

[Verse 2]
(Vocals return to a grittier, determined tone)
The King gives the order, to the hands that still stand,
Push back the darkness, take back the land.
We need the deep metals, the ore and the gem,
To fuel the invention, to fight for KHALDERIHM!
The cost is our lives, but the vision is clear,
An empire that lasts, beyond the standing warrior here!

[Bridge/Solo]
(Instrumental Bridge, Tempo slows to a deep, heavy, determined march, then launches into a Sharp, Industrial Guitar Solo with distortion and heavy bass. Use pistol shot sound effects.)

[Outro]
(Tempo slows to a crushing beat, final lines shouted over a repeating, distorted riff)
Well beyond the lives...
**PUSH HARD!**
Well beyond the standing warriors!
(Heavy drums and distorted guitar fade out)
