Blood & Iron

Skeletons of steel and glass

Tombstones of a time gone by

Whispered stories - fairy tales

No one knows who and why

100 years in an age of darkness

Many plagues have cleaned the land

Kill them all - saints and sinners

Fertile lands now desert sand

Gangs and tribes lead the lives

None proud nation has survived

Welcome to the quest for fire

Pledge allegiance and be sworn

Hold your ground in a world so torn

Blood and iron - blood and iron

The way to pay for all

To an age of pain we're gonna fall

Fear the places cursed and damned

Stick to new rules and obey

New slaughters and new lambs

The repeating history

Everlasting, deadly silence

'Til the winds disturb the peace

Sounds of tumbling walls and bridges

All our progress... deceased

Forged in fire forged in pain

And you lead a life in vain

Howling winds in the ruins - unreal story time

Mind pictures of the lost - pure as a bell chime

And a spark glimmers on - once a fire of life to become

Will you dare to listen

How much pain can you take

The oath of gods and mortals

A chain no one can break

And the flame is burning on - a fire of life to become
