V6-MINI

[General prompt: Epic heavy metal, slow tempo then funeral march then explosion. Spanish acoustic guitar intro. Soldiers' chants. Trumpet solo.] [Verse 1 – Spain: Flamenco guitar, then crushing riff] The International Brigades crossed the Ebro For every dark, a spark must grow (¡No pasarán!) [Chorus: Full orchestra, slow and majestic] (The ashes of the camps, the anthem of the free!) We are the no that will not bend its knee From Madrid to the Meuse, from Athens to Crete The fascist’s boot will taste defeat [Verse 2 – Belgium 1941: Quiet, then drums like factory hammers] In Liège again, the hundred thousand stood Under the swastika, we claimed our food (Strike while the tyrant coughs!) [Chorus: Full orchestra, slow and majestic] (The ashes of the camps, the anthem of the free!) We are the no that will not bend its knee From Madrid to the Meuse, from Athens to Crete The fascist’s boot will taste defeat [Guitar solo – heroic, soaring, with choir behind] [Verse 3 – Resistance everywhere: Whispered, then roaring] The partisan’s wire, the priest’s false papers The sabotage of the Nazi razors (From the Warsaw sewer to the Vercors snow) [Chorus: Full orchestra, slow and majestic] (The ashes of the camps, the anthem of the free!) We are the no that will not bend its knee From Madrid to the Meuse, from Athens to Crete The fascist’s boot will taste defeat [Outro: Children singing "Bella Ciao" softly, then fade] [Em] [Em] U na mat-ti na mi son sve-glia ta o bel la ciao [Em/D] [Em/C] [Em/B][Em] [Am] bel la ciao bel la ciao ciao ciao u na mat-ti na .... [Em] [B7] [Em] mi son sveg-liata e ho tro-va-to l'in va sor ...They lost. We remember.
