Iron Overlord
Dark Tale of Power: FORSAKEN AGE's Iron Overlord Revealed
Lyrics
For evil to prevail, it only requires good men to do nothing.
Evil prevails when good people choose inaction.
Chugging down the tracks,
Describing the movement of a train.
David's star on you,
Reference to the Star of David, a symbol of Judaism.
Behold the Iron Lord,
Introduction of the Iron Lord, a figure of power.
Black as night he looms,
Depicting the Iron Lord as a dark and ominous presence.
Fear the father's reich,
Warning about a father's regime or authority.
Hiding from their power,
People avoiding confrontation with oppressive forces.
Final Solution,
Reference to the "Final Solution," historically linked to the Holocaust.
See the millions cower
Observing the masses in fear and submission.

-All aboard the train,
Boarding a train with the promise of a peaceful life.
Promised life of peace,
Expectation of a tranquil existence.
Destination, desecration
The destination is one of desecration and destruction.
In the belly of the beast,
Metaphorical description of being inside a destructive force.
Death to the chosen ones,
Announcement of death to a specific group.
Herded onto trains,
Forced relocation of a targeted community.
Family torn apart,
Families being separated, likely a reference to historical atrocities.
Acts of future shame,
Actions leading to future shame and guilt.

-On his oath he acts,
The Iron Overlord acting on a solemn promise or commitment.
Digging pits of death,
Engaging in activities that result in death.
They fall like dominoes,
Victims falling systematically, likened to dominoes.
Take their last breath,
Last moments of the victims.
Make his father proud,
Seeking approval from a parental figure for heinous acts.
And his mother weep,
Affecting a mother emotionally through destructive actions.
Haunted by their faces,
Haunted by the faces of the victims, causing perpetual distress.
He can never sleep.
The Iron Overlord's inability to find peace through sleep.
