Lyrics


1. BLOOD AND IRON

"The great questions of the day will not be decided by speeches and majority resolutions, but by blood and iron" - Otto Von Bismarck

Run like the pitiful wretches you are
Honor and courage, foreign they are
Stand and fight, a battle cry
And if need be, bleed and die
The cowards flee before the might of steel
To blood and iron all shall knees
Appeasement is all the cowards know
And for their words they shall burn in hell

[Chorus]
Peace comes at the price of war
The means don't matter so just keep score
In the end if more good is done
By blood and iron we will have won

Behold the courageous warrior's might
Boldness as opposed to coward's fright
They speak their lies as innocents die
Never to see the front lines
Before you assume that peace is the way
See for yourself and witness the fray
The pain, suffering, and agony
Retaliation brings justice at the end of the day

[Chorus]

By blood and iron...
We will have won...

Blood and iron, blood and iron, blood and iron...


2. SALVATION

Consumed by my bloodlust
I have walked alone
There is no one whom I trust
And onward I roam
I've sworn my oath in cold steel
Forgotten how to feel
When I met you I remembered
This broken soul began to heal

[Chorus]
In this war I rage onward
This bloody endless fight
Though I know you will be waiting
In the dark of the night

You came to me a shattered soul
Damaged beyond repair
Yet something dormant awakened
A love so pure and fair
The first time you've known it
Without corruption foul
And now I will protect you
Till you're no longer frail

[Chorus](x2)

In this war I rage onward
This bloody endless fight
Will you be there waiting?
In the dark of the night


3. ABANDONED

It started with the nightmares
Proceeded with the demon days
This war torn land
Swallowed by hell's flames
All the death has hardened my heart
And my rage has tore us all apart
My brothers-in arms, brothers no more
Deceived by Chaos, I'm his unholy whore

But where are you, the one that I love?
Have you betrayed me too?
Have you stabbed me in the back like the rest of these fools?

[Chorus]
Now I'm...
Forced to wander these barren fields alone
Cast off by all I love, no place to call home
I feel the darkness burning in my soul
Overcome with apathy, my heart is a hole

They still think that it's too late
For me to change
I can't help the blackened blood
Flowing through my veins
Possessed by the enemy, I am no Cain
I don't kill my brothers, it's not my aim
Please help me god, I am all alone
They're turned their backs on me when I need them most

But where are you, the one that I love?
Have you betrayed me too?
Have you stabbed me in the back like the rest of these fools?

[Chorus](x2)

It's over
And hopeless
The war for my mind
Has left me soulless
Look out behind you
I'm coming for you all
I'll take my revenge
From grace I will fall
