Текст песни Bathory - Blood and Iron

O, so it is written son

When all waters and land you see

All around came to birth

Man and beast was one

And the gods of the sky

Walked the face of the earth

Few free and innocent

Man strolled paths next to those

Of beasts seeing no signs

But stars in the sky

Knowing of day and night

Of rain and winds, hunger and fright

But not of death nor of life

While all was at ease with all

Living creatures and beast and the gods

of the sky enjoyed the lavish riches of this world,

giants rose out of their caves and took to the skies

challenging the gods for the power of the universe.

Only when the great halls of Valhalla stood aflame

lighting up the worlds all around did the gods

wake up from their drunken sleep, to speed through the heavens

and clash with the giants in the greatest battle ever seen.

Heads arms and legs of both giant and god fell down

upon the earth and... The weapons... The swords of shining metal...

And those who found them and took these shining blades

in hand were only men, now man was the master of this world.

The story tells of stormy skies

Black clouds gathered up high

And of lightning striking from a

Burning bloodred sky

The mountains crumbled to the seas

Earth shook the worlds collide

Ending the age of gods

Gbirth to our time

And man lived and learned

The secret of steel

Ore of earth - fire of sky

Forged is blade of gods

Blood and iron

So the age to learn and to teach

for man begins, the power to know

the blood and iron discipline, and

tell the story of how man was granted

these shining blades of steel

Knowing of the past she will know

of the tomorrow and man shall reign, yes,

even conquer other worlds and she will set

sails on her starships sailing across the

black space and become the new gods of the skies.

The skies...
