Steel the fire - Prometheus

[Intro - GUITAR single down-tuned note, held, growing, no drums yet, no vocals - 8 bars] [Spoken Word - German, cold and slow, only UPRIGHT BASS beneath, no percussion, no guitar] Bedecke deinen Himmel, Zeus, Mit Wolkendunst! Und übe, dem Knaben gleich, Der Disteln köpft, An Eichen dich und Bergeshöhn! Mußt mir meine Erde Doch lassen stehn Und meine Hütte, die du nicht gebaut, Und meinen Herd, Um dessen Glut Du mich beneidest. [Verse 1 - English, SAXOPHONE fragile beneath, DRUMS enter sparse, GUITAR low and distant] You own the cloud, you own the feed You own the algorithm's eye You sell the fire that you never lit You monetize the human mind [Pre-Chorus - GUITAR riff enters heavy, DRUMS full, SAXOPHONE cut off abruptly] But Gutenberg already stole your flame And gave it free to every waiting hand — [Chorus - full metal, BRASS war horns, DRUMS double-kick, GUITAR maximum density] We don't bow down We don't log in for permission The press already broke your gates The ink already burned your prison [Spoken Word - German, rage building under sustained guitar] Ich dich ehren? Wofür? Hast du die Schmerzen gelindert Je des Beladenen? Hast du die Tränen gestillet Je des Geängsteten? [Verse 2 - English, spoken and sung alternating, BRASS grinding beneath] You throttle reach and shadow-ban the truth You serve the feed that keeps the people blind Five hundred years ago we broke your chains — One press, one page, one free and open mind [Chorus - full metal repeat, CHOIR enters beneath] We don't bow down We don't log in for permission The press already broke your gates The ink already burned your prison [Bridge - EVERYTHING drops to silence, only single GUITAR note held, then:] [Spoken Word - German, almost whispered, the most important lines, nothing beneath] Hier sitz ich, forme Menschen Nach meinem Bilde, Ein Geschlecht, das mir gleich sei, Zu leiden, zu weinen, Zu genießen und zu freuen sich — [Final Climax - CHOIR enters fortissimo, ALL instruments return simultaneously at maximum, BRASS fanfare over metal] Und dein nicht zu achten, Wie ich! [Outro - CHOIR alone, 4 bars, a cappella, then GUITAR single final chord fading to silence] Und dein nicht zu achten — Wie ich.
