The Iron Times (1618-1648)

(album: Blood On Blood - 2021)

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
