[INTRO (Alphorn drone + rain on granite. Distant thunder.)]
[(Spoken, cavernous reverb:)]
"When the moon cracks like a frozen skull... the peaks remember."
---
[VERSE 1 (Double-bass drums, tremolo guitars)]
Frost-bitten lungs of the ancients!
Throats carved from glacial stone!
Each note a noose for the heavens—
Each breath a splintered bone!
The valley drowns in feedback—
The pines ignite with roar!
We sing the hymn of the hypothermic—
War! War! War!
---
[PRE-CHORUS (Accelerando – blast beats)]
YI-DEL-LAY-HEE-HOOO—
Rip the cirrus from the sky!
YI-DEL-LAY-HEE-HAAAA—
Make the silent summit cry!
---
[CHORUS (Full choir – 40 yodelers in corpse paint)]
RIDE THE AVALANCHE OF THROAT-GORED NIGHT!
YODEL FOR THE WOLF THAT EATS THE LIGHT!
MOUNTAINS BLEED—OUR THROATS ARE SWORDS!
YI-DEL-LAY-HELL... YI-DEL-LAY-HORDE!
[(Repeat – key change up, 200 BPM)]
---
[BRIDGE (Clean arpeggios, lonely cowbell)]
[(Melancholic, almost folk)]
My grandmother yodeled in winter—
Her voice split the fir trees in two.
Now I climb with her ashes in my larynx...
To sing the sky untrue.
---
[BREAKDOWN (0 BPM – then drop)]
[(Guttural death growl, spoken)]
"ECHO."
[(Pause.)]
"ECHO."
[(Pause.)]
"ECHO—"
[(DROP – slam riff)]
YODEL-LAY-HELL-WALKER!
SPINAL-CORD-JODLER!
Bree-bree-bree-yodel-bree!
---
[SOLO (Alphorn played through dimed Marshall stack + wah pedal)]
[(Simultaneous pig-squeal yodel harmony in 7/8 time)]
---
[OUTRO (Slowing, fading)]
[(Chanting, monastic)]
Yodel... yodel... the frost takes all...
Yodel... yodel... the last note falls...
[(Single, pure high-C yodel – holds 20 seconds)]
[(Cuts to silence.)]
[(One final cowbell strike.)]
DING.
