The Iron Times (1618-1648)
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.
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
