#45 You’re Killing Me

[Verse]

(heavy riff kicks in, slow build)

Two dark shadows, Rottweiler hearts on fire

Redemption- feeling like rusted bard wire

[Verse]

Kennel rocked of fear, locked cold and tight

Gunther’s missing — they swore he lost the fight

“Bear took him down,” the pups cried and lied

But brothers know Gunther ‘s still alive

We yanked that fire alarm, red lights flashin’ wild

Chaos exploded, panic like a child

While they screamed and ran, we strutted through the door

Cool as midnight steel, ready for more

[Pre-chorus]

Disguised  our scent in a river of crud

Rolled in engine grease, thick oil and mud

Tire mountain hideout, hearts hammerin’ loud

Waitin’ for the world to turn its back on the crowd

[Chorus]

(big open chords, gang vocals)

Max, you’re killin’ me!

Smalls grinned, smiled its a code name

Max, you’re killin’ me!

But we’ll never quit this brother game

Divine Mountain’s callin’, spirit in the wind

Two Rottweilers risin’ — the hunt begins!

[Verse]

We spun the bear tale smooth, tears in our eyes

Sold the tragedy, let the cover story rise

Days turned to weeks, the guilt chewed our bones

Then the spirit came in a dream of stone

Glowin’ like moonlight on a midnight blade

“Max,” it whispered, “the debt’s not paid

Gunther breathes up high where the eagles scream

Climb that sacred ridge, live the brothers’ dream”

[Chorus]

Max, you’re killin’ me!

Smalls bares teeth like rolling thunder

Max, you’re killin’ me!

We shred the dark, we tear it under

Divine Mountain’s waitin’, redemption on the line

Two Rottweilers howlin’ — your blood is mine!

[Bridge]

[drums drop out, then crash back hard]

Paws pound the earth, mountain claws the sky

Ghost of our brother ridin’ shotgun high

No cage can hold us, no lie can chain

We’ll bring Gunther home through fire and rain

[Chorus]

Max, you’re killin’ me!

Yeah, Smalls, keep that fire alive!

Max, you’re killin’ me!

But we’ll fight until we thrive!

An eye for an eye, too many walls,

Wink of the eye, “You’re killing me Smalls.

Divine Mountain’s shakin’, spirit sets us free

Three Rottweiler brothers — eternity!(riff fades with distant howls)

Gunther… we’re comin’…

Max and Smalls on the run…

Divine Mountain… here we come…
