The Golden Hoard (Siegfried 1.2)

+ Show full styles

[Verse 1]
Deep inna di river, where di Rhine water flow
Lies a mountain a gold, wit' a wicked, cursed glow
Alberich steal it, sell him soul for di hoard
But a heart full a greed is a double-edge sword
Now di kings and di warriors, dem eyes turnin' red
Chasin' di glitter 'til dem join di dead.

[Chorus]
The Golden Hoard – a pure vanity
Babylon gold nah set yuh free
The Golden Hoard – a soul-trap, yuh see?
Blindin' di eyes a humanity
(Brass stabs: Ba-da-ba!)

[Verse 2]
[Rimshot snare accent]
Brother kill him brother for a piece a di ring
Dem nuh care 'bout di life, dem only care 'bout di bling
But gold inna di pocket can't hide di sin within
When di Rhine river rise, where yuh gonna swim?
It heavy like lead, it pull yuh down deep
While di spirits a di river dem never gonna sleep.

[Bridge]
[Sparse breakdown]
[Deep bass pulse only]
[Tape saturation grit]
What is a man... (What is a man)
If him gain di whole world... (Whole world)
And lose him own soul? (Soul... soul...)
Don't worship di metal, don't bow to di stone
Babylon kingdom gonna crumble to bone.
(Dub echo: "Crumble... bone... bone...")

[Dub Breakdown]
[Heavy Analog Delay Feedback Loop]
[Muted guitar skank echoes - rhythmic and hypnotic]
[Hand percussion: Woodblocks and shakers]
[Organ bubble intensified - swirling effects]
[Brass stabs echoing through the chamber]
[Bassline starts to "walk"]

[Chorus]
The Golden Hoard – a pure vanity
Babylon gold nah set yuh free
The Golden Hoard – a soul-trap, yuh see?
Blindin' di eyes a humanity

[Outro]
[Echo chamber effects]
Dust to dust...
Gold to rust...
Rhine river take it back...
[Post-chorus drop]
[Slow fade with spring reverb splash]
Vanity... pure vanity...
Babylon burnin'...
[Final rimshot]
