[intro] *guitar-solo* (Verse 1) Under the northern skies, we gather strong, A sea of black, a roaring throng. Metal hearts and rebel souls, Wacken calls, the thunder rolls. Camps alive with fire and beer, A brotherhood with nothing to fear. Raise your horns, let the battle cry sound, For the greatest festival on sacred ground! (Chorus) Wacken! Wacken! The mecca of steel, Where the riffs are raw, and the power is real. We bang our heads, we scream, we fight, 2025 – back to the night! (Verse 2) From the main stage flames to the Firefighters' beat, Every note, every clash is a warrior's feat. Legends rise, the crowd ignites, Under the moon, we own the night. Tents as far as the eye can see, A metal army, wild and free. Beneath the mud, the rain, the sky, We live for this – we never die! (Chorus) Wacken! Wacken! The mecca of steel, Where the riffs are raw, and the power is real. We bang our heads, we scream, we fight, 2025 – back to the night! (Bridge) Axes shred, and the drums explode, Through the pit, the madness flows. We’re the outlaws, we’re the clan, Metalheads united, woman and man. Raise your fist, it’s not just a show, It’s the life we live, the path we know. From the first chord strike to the final roar, Wacken is home forevermore. (Chorus) Wacken! Wacken! The mecca of steel, Where the riffs are raw, and the power is real. We bang our heads, we scream, we fight, 2025 – back to the night! (Outro) Through the mud, through the flames, We carve our names in Wacken’s veins. Forever bound, this is our creed, Metal hearts in word and deed. 2025, we’ll be there again, With the Firefighters, the crowd, and the bands!
