[Intro] [Ambient Dark Drone, Sub-Bass Drop, Massive Downtuned Chug Riff, Crushing Groove Drums] [Verse 1] [Aggressive Low Guttural Growls, Driving Double-Kick, Staccato Riffs] The year is fourteen fifty-three, the oath of loyalty burns bright, when Amberg only recognizes young heir Philipp's right. His guardian, Count Palatine Frederick, takes him in as his own son, demanding homage from a people sick of tyranny begun. Yet the citizens say no, they swore an oath to Philipp's name, refusing fealty to the foster father's selfish claim! No brand-new vow for Frederick's might, the city's word stands high— the people here would rather rise in open rebel cry! [Chorus] [Massive Wall of Sound, Layered Harsh Vocals, Melodic Death Metal Lead, Heavy Groove] This is the Amberg Uprising! No kneeling before the throne! We stand for liberty! We will not yield an inch! [Verse 2] [Fast Double Bass, Crushing 8-String Riffs, Aggressive Snarl Vocals] Outside the gates by spring, the first detachment draws near, a band of armed men strikes the town, hand-to-hand and fierce. Yet Amberg stands prepared to fight, repels the fierce attack, and without victory, sends the shaken rivals back! Unmasked as mastermind behind the raid, Frederick takes the blame— the city seizes the regional judge in freedom's name! Locked in the dungeons with his council, heavy chains that ring, a triumph for the town of Amberg over the army of the king! [Chorus] [Massive Wall of Sound, Layered Harsh Vocals, Melodic Lead, Heavy Groove] This is the Amberg Uprising! No kneeling before the throne! We stand for liberty! We will not yield an inch! [Bridge] [Tempo Drop, Half-Time Groove, Dark Ambient Synths, Deep Menacing Growls] The Bishop of Regensburg soon forces the councilors' release, yet Frederick still marches on—with three thousand men, breaking the peace! [Build-Up] [Rising Tension, Driving Double Bass, Aggressive Screams] The city yields before this force, unbars the iron gate, admitting Frederick and his host in silence to their fate. [Breakdown] [Crushing Downtuned Chugs, Industrial Sub-Drop, Maximum Heavy] A cold example set in blood upon the market square: Three citizens are executed by the victor's ruthless reign! [Guitar Solo] [Melodic Swedish Death Metal Lead, Heavy Rhythm Guitars, Fast Double Bass] [Chorus] [Maximum Intensity, Layered Raspy Vocals, Cinematic Atmospheric Layers, Blasting Groove] This is the Amberg Uprising! No kneeling before the throne! We stand for liberty! We will not yield an inch! [Outro] [Slow Heavy Outro Riff, Dark Cinematic Ambience, Low Raspy Whisper] The weapons rest, the dust has settled down. The fight for ancient rights has forged the people of the town. [Whispered Guttural] Amberg does not forget… The Amberg Uprising outlasts all time! [Final Massive Chug & Sub-Bass Fade Out]
