Iron Times
Iron Times: Chronicles of War and Desolation
Lyrics
Death has come to rule
Death has established control
Mercenaries wasting the land
Mercenaries are causing destruction in the land
Barren the earth
The earth is desolate and unproductive
And nowhere to hide
No refuge or escape is available
Year after year
Year after year, a cycle of cruelty and terror persists
Cruelty and terror prevail
Acts of cruelty and terror continue to dominate
Piles of bodies left to rot
Dead bodies are left in piles, decaying
Stench of decay
The smell of decay is pervasive
All hope is lost
All hope is gone
Sign of the cross
A symbol of religious faith is invoked
Kingdoms at stake
Kingdoms are in jeopardy
One true religion
There is a claim of one true religion
Decades of war
Decades of war have transpired
Iron times
These are harsh and challenging times
Steel meets steel
Conflict intensifies as metal meets metal
Europe's burning
Europe is in flames
Into the depths of hell
A descent into profound suffering
Brutal clash of sword and shield
A brutal clash involving swords and shields
Banners held up high
Banners are raised high in preparation for battle
Charge into the battle
A charge into battle with the intent to deal a fatal blow
To strike a fatal blow
To strike a fatal blow in combat
Hitting hard and without mercy
Aggressive and merciless attacks
With sword and mace alike
Using both sword and mace with force
In this raging massacre
A chaotic and intense massacre
Be prepared to die
Being prepared for death in the midst of the chaos
(Yeah-oh)
[Expressive interjection]
God has left this world
God has abandoned the world
Plague and hunger haunting the land
Plague and hunger afflict the land
Crippled existence
Existence is crippled and bleak
All life is bleak
All life is in a state of hopelessness
Work of the Devil
Evil forces are at work
No soul is save
No soul is spared from the turmoil
Brutal clash of sword and shield
Reiteration of the brutal clash with sword and shield
Banners held up high
Banners are raised high in preparation for battle
Charge into the battle
A charge into battle with the intent to deal a fatal blow
To strike a fatal blow
To strike a fatal blow in combat
Hitting hard and without mercy
Aggressive and merciless attacks
With sword and mace alike
Using both sword and mace with force
In this raging massacre
A chaotic and intense massacre
Be prepared to die
Being prepared for death in the midst of the chaos
Be prepared to die
