Lyrics
Tainted Metal
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Here the screams from down below
The cry of the raven, the demons and wizards
In league with the dark
Feed the fire nourish the flames
The hammer is pounding the steel in its grace
By via crucis, embraced
Born out of wedlock, the spirit is lost
Ordeal of ingestion, the way of the cross
Oh it’s
Tainted metal
Tainted metal
No return nowhere to go
The wands of the wizards call demons to fetter
Their heart broken souls
Face the fire, defiling the steel
The blood of the heathens, their guts and their gore
Weakens the sword to the core
Born out of wedlock, the future came fast
Trial by fire, iconoclast
Oh it’s
Tainted metal
Tainted metal
Oh it’s
Tainted metal
Tainted metal
Blackens the power of steel
Born out of wedlock, thy spirit is lost
Ordeal of ingestion, ordeal of the cross
Oh it’s
Tainted metal
Tainted metal
Oh it’s
Tainted metal
Tainted metal
Blackens the power of steel
Oh, oh it’s
Tainted metal
Oh it’s
Tainted metal
Oh it’s
Tainted metal
