[Intro – Distant festival crowd. Southern guitar growls beneath pounding industrial drums as engines approach.]
One year gone…
Mountain’s still cracked…
Sheriff fixed the courthouse…
And every fool came back.
[Someone in the crowd]
AIN’T THAT THEM?!
[Crowd erupts]
WE’RE BAAAAAACK!!
[Full band detonates.]
YODEL-AY-HEEEEEEE!!
YODEL-AY-HOOOOOO!!
⸻
[Verse 1 – Southern metal swagger crashes into industrial bass.]
Trailers rolling through the valley,
Pickup trucks for miles around,
Every lunatic who survived it
Came right back to shake the ground!
Speakers stacked against the mountain,
Bonfires reaching for the sky,
Somebody screams, “WE MISSED Y’ALL!”
Then a yodel answers high!
[Crowd]
HEY!
HEY!
YODEL-AY-HEE!
YODEL-AY-HOO!
WE SAID WE’D COME BACK—
NOW HERE’S ROUND TWO!!
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – Bass builds. Thousands stomp together.]
One whole year!
TOO DAMN LONG!
Turn it up!
ALL NIGHT LONG!
Wake the woods!
Shake the ridge!
SOMEBODY CHECK THAT DAMN BRIDGE!!
⸻
[Chorus – Massive festival anthem. Crushing riffs, EDM drops and rapid-fire crowd yodeling.]
THE YODEL MADNESS RETURNS!!
Raise your drinks and let it burn!
YODEL-AY-HEE!
YODEL-AY-HOO!
EVERY DAMN FOOL KNOWS WHAT TO DO!!
Mountains shake!
Engines roar!
WE CAME BACK FOR ONE ROUND MORE!
YODEL-AY-HEE-YODEL-AY-HOO!!
THE MADNESS RETURNS—
AND IT BROUGHT THE WHOLE CREW!!
⸻
[Verse 2 – Groove gets heavier as familiar faces arrive.]
Sheriff pulls up looking tired,
Coffee shaking in his hand,
“Last year y’all destroyed my county…”
Then the whole crowd starts to chant.
Trees start snapping by the timber…
Heavy footsteps…
BIGFOOT’S BACK!!
[Crowd]
YEEEEEEEAH!!
Then the ground glows red beneath us,
Smoke comes rolling through the gate,
Devil walks out grinning wicked—
“HOPE TO HELL I AIN’T LATE!”
⸻
[Breakdown – Industrial bass drops into mechanical chaos. Guitars battle increasingly fast alpine yodels.]
YO-DEL-YO-DEL-YO-DEL-YO-DEL!
AY-HEE!
AY-HOO!
YODELAYHEE-YODELAYHOO!
YO-DELAYHEE-YO-DELAYHOO!
YODEL-YODEL-YODEL-YODEL-YODEL!!
[Bigfoot]
YOOOOODEL-AY-HOOOOOO!!
[Devil]
YODEL-AY-HEEEEE!!
[Sheriff]
…dammit.
⸻
[Final Chorus – Everyone joins. Double-kick drums, colossal choir and industrial EDM hit maximum intensity.]
THE YODEL MADNESS RETURNS!!
ONE DAMN YEAR AND WE NEVER LEARNED!!
Raise your horns!
Raise your drinks!
DON’T GIVE A DAMN WHAT ANYBODY THINKS!
From the holler to the ridge!
From the woods down to the bridge!
YODEL-AY-HEE!
YODEL-AY-HOO!
WE PROMISED WE’D COME BACK TO YOU!!
[Crowd – Machine-gun speed]
YODEL-AY-HEE-YODEL-AY-HOO!
YODEL-AY-HEE-YODEL-AY-HOO!
YO-DEL-YO-DEL-YO-DEL-YO-DEL!
HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY!
⸻
[Outro – Everything abruptly cuts. The Sheriff grabs the microphone.]
[Sheriff]
“Alright…
Devil’s here.
Bigfoot’s here.
Every damn fool from last year is here…
Let’s not destroy the county this time.”
[Bigfoot]
YOOOOODEL-AY-HOOOOOO!!
[Explosion]
[Sheriff]
“…son of a bitch.”
