Back to the frontlines
Back to the night
Evil marauders
Under the lights
Back for the plunder
The thrill of the flames
The roar of the thunder
Back in the game
Storming the castles
Swords in the air
Killing the monsters
In their own lair
Lighting the torches
Setting the stage
You get what you ask for
Right in the face
Six string sabres
Screams in the night
War clubs pounding
Living just for the fight
So we drive through the night
With the howling wind at our backs
Riding on teutonic terror
We will give 'em the axe
We will give 'em the axe
String up the razors
Sharpen the blades
Tighten the skins up
No one escapes
Crank up the grindstone
Load up the sleds
Saddle the horses
Off with their Heads!
Six string sabres
Screams in the night
War clubs pounding
Living just for the fight
So we drive through the night
With the howling wind at our backs
Riding on teutonic terror
We will give 'em the axe
For the roar of the crowd
For the raging frontal attack
Delivering the Teutonic Terror
We will give 'em the axe
We will give 'em the axe
So we drive through the night
With the howling wind at our backs
Riding on Teutonic Terror
We will give 'em the axe
For the roar of the crowd
For the raging frontal attack
Delivering the Teutonic Terror
We will give 'em the axe
We will give 'em the axe
About This Song
"Teutonic Terror" is Accept's thunderous heavy metal battle cry that uses medieval warfare imagery as a metaphor for the band's return to aggressive, uncompromising metal after their reunion. The song channels themes of conquest, resilience, and the primal thrill of musical combat, with lyrics that blend ancient warrior imagery with modern metal terminology like "six string sabers" to represent guitars as weapons. Musically, it delivers classic Accept heavy metal with pounding rhythms, soaring vocals, and razor-sharp guitar work that perfectly complements the militaristic themes. The track captures the band's Germanic metal heritage while serving as a declaration of their renewed power and determination to dominate the metal scene. It stands as a quintessential example of Accept's ability to merge historical European imagery with contemporary heavy metal intensity, creating an anthem that's both nostalgic and fiercely modern.
