The Iron Times (1618-1648) Lyrics


A comet appeared, evoking all fears

Foreseeing the fading of light

The war took a start, religion did part

They all claimed to fight on the true side

Smoke on the world, cannons were heared

Setting the world right on fire

All bridges were burned, in hatred they yearned

To serve the old beast and the liar

Thirty years war, atrocity's whore

Humanity lost in the fire

The killing was on, the reaper was strong

The pile of the dead, a pyre

You fight or you die in the iron times

Strong is your will to survive

The reaper is on, singing his song

In the time where hell comes alive

Starvation was on, humanity gone

Atrocities on the agenda

Wasting the lands, pillaging hands

No mercy on the defender

Thirty years war, atrocity's whore

Humanity lost in the fire

The killing was on, the reaper was strong

The pile of the dead, a pyre

You fight or you die in the iron times

Strong is your will to survive

The reaper is on, singing his song

In the time where hell comes alive

Death on the air, the plague everywhere

Dreams of man had been lost in the fire

They fell one by one to the old devil's song

The killing of man became the fuel to the pyre again

Nothing was learned, the evil still yearns

Feeding on revolution

Lies right at hand, the blindness of man

A failure of evolution?

All kinds of war, atrocity's whore

Humanity lost in the fire

The killing is on, the reaper is strong

The pile of the dead rising higher

You fight or you die in the iron times

Strong is your will to survive

The reaper is on, singing his song

In the time where hell comes alive

You fight or you die in the iron times

Strong is your will to survive

The reaper is on, singing his song

In the time where hell comes alive

You fight or you die in the iron times

Strong is your will to survive

The reaper is on, singing his song

In the time where hell comes alive

You fight or you die in the iron times

Strong is your will to survive

The reaper is on, singing his song

In the time where hell comes alive

The reaper is on, singing his song

In the time where hell comes alive

In the time where hell comes alive

In the time where hell comes alive
