Lutzrik Arnogrim Metdonner has arrived! And Winnifred is thirsty! [Verse 1 | Male Vocal | Heavy guitars and bouncing tuba groove] From Steinpfeifenfels I rode tonight Through storm and mud and flashing light My father roared, "Wed Brunhilde now!" I laughed and swore, "I won't, and how!" My helm is bright, my beard is grand Winnifred rests in my mighty hand The maidens stare, the barrels cheer Where Lutzrik walks, there's ale and fear [Pre-Chorus | Building | Crowd joins] Gold in my pockets Fire in my chest Met in my tankard Adventure is best [Chorus | Full Band | Anthemic gang chant | Call and Response] Raise the mead! Swing the axe! Lutzrik brings the thunder cracks! Gold and glory! Foam and foam! Tonight this tavern is my home! Raise the mead! Swing the axe! Winnifred handles all the facts! Drink and brawl! Sing and roar! Metdonner always asks for more! [Verse 2 | Ska rhythm with fiddles and brass] Brunhilde's spies are on my trail But none can match my polished mail I duck inside this crowded hall To drink, boast loud, and stand up tall A dwarf maid smiles across the room My temper sparks, I sense my doom One more insult, one more round And tables crash to the ground [Pre-Chorus | Louder crowd chants] Gold in my pockets Fire in my chest Met in my tankard Adventure is best [Chorus | Repeat | Bigger gang vocals] Raise the mead! Swing the axe! Lutzrik brings the thunder cracks! Gold and glory! Foam and foam! Tonight this tavern is my home! Raise the mead! Swing the axe! Winnifred handles all the facts! Drink and brawl! Sing and roar! Metdonner always asks for more! [Bridge | Slow Doom Metal | Massive tuba and bagpipes] Winnifred whispers in the night "Seek your fame and claim your right." No furious bride shall chain my name I was born for gold and endless fame [Instrumental Break | Bagpipe solo → fiddle solo → guitar solo] [Final Chorus | Key lift | Maximum crowd participation] Raise the mead! Swing the axe! Lutzrik brings the thunder cracks! Gold and glory! Foam and foam! Tonight this tavern is my home! Raise the mead! Swing the axe! Winnifred handles all the facts! Drink and brawl! Sing and roar! Metdonner forevermore! [Outro | Tavern chants and laughter fading] Hail! Hail! Metdonner! Hail! Hail! Metdonner!
