(intro – cold wind, distant choir)
From cellar stone the silence weeps
Oak and shadow never sleep
Beneath the earth, beneath the skin
The ancient rite begins again
(verse 1)
Frozen hands, cracked by time
Iron days, soaked in grime
The sun has bled into the west
Night returns to claim the rest
Thirst like fire in the throat
Life a fraying, broken rope
We descend where echoes drown
To taste the dark beneath the town
(pre-chorus – melodic rise)
Raise the cup carved out of bone
We are never drinking alone
(chorus – fierce, melodic)
BEER! – FERMENTED IN FROST
BEER! – OF ANCIENT COST
BEER! – BITTER AS TRUTH
BEER! – BLACKENED YOUTH
(verse 2)
Hops like thorns across the tongue
Olden songs forever sung
Monks in fire, kings in mud
All are equal in the blood
Barrels breathing, slow and deep
Secrets that the earth must keep
Bitterness cuts clean and cold
A liquid oath, a war of old
(bridge – atmospheric, slow)
Snow falls on the brewery stone
Stars look down, indifferent, alone
No prayers spoken, no gods near
Only breath… and bitter beer
(chorus)
BEER! – FERMENTED IN FROST
BEER! – OF ANCIENT COST
BEER! – BITTER AS TRUTH
BEER! – BLACKENED YOUTH
(verse 3 – faster, tremolo)
The world decays in golden lies
Crowns of rust, blind prophet eyes
We drink not to forget the pain
But to remember who remains
Foam like snow on winter ground
In this silence we are bound
Not escape, not poisoned sleep
But a vow too deep to keep
(interlude – whispered, echo)
Brewed in shadow…
Cursed by light…
Born of earth…
And endless night…
(chorus – extended, triumphant)
BEER! – FERMENTED IN FROST
BEER! – FIRES THAT WERE LOST
BEER! – BITTER AS TRUTH
BEER! – BLACKENED YOUTH
(outro – melodic, fading)
When the barrels all run dry
And frozen winds erase our cry
The earth will know, the stone will hear
We lived, we bled…
And drank the bitter beer
