Hanna der Stürmer – "Zahn um Zahn" (Tooth for Tooth)

[False Intro – tape hiss, low ragged breathing] "Hrrr… hrrr… du hast mich leer gefegt… …aber ich bin nicht dein Spiegel." KRRRACK! [Verse 1 – full speed, spit] You picked my bones, called it a feast, Said I was nothing, said I was beast. Every word you choked was a borrowed knife, Now I'm the scar you wear for life. You wanted ashes, you wanted dust, But I'm the hunger that eats the rust. Your crown of lies? I'll snap it in two — Zahn um Zahn — I'm coming for you. [Pre-Chorus – half-time, snarled] Kein Gebet. Kein Grab. Just the mess you made — now eat the tab. [Chorus – shouted, 190 BPM] ZAHN UM ZAHN! — feel the grind! ZAHN UM ZAHN! — get out of my mind! You took my silence, called it peace, Now I'm the trigger — here's your release! ZAHN UM ZAHN! — blood for spit! ZAHN UM ZAHN! — I don't forget! Hanna der Stürmer — the debt comes due, And the only thing left is me killing you. [Verse 2 – even faster] You locked your secrets in a cage of glass, Thought I'd stay broken, thought I'd pass. But steel remembers every bend, And I remember every end. You built your altar on my fucking pain, Now watch me tear it down again. No more kneeling, no more «please» — Zahn um Zahn — I bring the disease. [Bridge – spoken, dry, German thick] "Du wolltest Stille? Hier ist dein Lärm." (You wanted silence? Here's your noise.) [Guitar scream — one bar] "Zahn. Um. Zahn." [Final Chorus – chaotic, faster] ZAHN UM ZAHN! — choke on the grit! ZAHN UM ZAHN! — I'm all of it! You thought the storm would break my back — I am the storm, and I don't look back! ZAHN UM ZAHN! — scream it loud! ZAHN UM ZAHN! — I'm the fucking cloud! Hanna der Stürmer — remember the scar: I'm what you get when you push too far. [Outro – riff stutter, then cut to tape hiss] "Zahn… um… Zahn…" (Feedback. Silence.)
