Lyrics

[03:18] O, so it is written son
[03:20] When all waters and land you see
[03:22] All around came to birth
[03:26] Man and beast was one
[03:28] And the gods of the sky
[03:30] Walked the face of the earth
[03:33] Few free and innocent
[03:35] Man strolled paths next to those
[03:37] Of beasts seeing no signs
[03:38] But stars in the sky
[03:41] Knowing of day and night
[03:43] Of rain and winds, hunger and fright
[03:45] But not of death nor of life
[03:49] While all was at ease with all
[03:51] Living creatures and beast and the gods of the sky enjoyed the lavish
[03:55] riches of this world, giants rose out of their caves and took to the
[04:00] skies challenging the gods for the power of the universe.
[04:03] Only when the great halls of Valhalla stood aflame lighting up the
[04:07] worlds all around did the gods wake up from their drunken sleep, to
[04:12] speed through the heavens and clash with the giants in the greatest
[04:16] battle ever seen.
[04:17] Heads arms and legs of both giant and god fell down upon the earth
[04:22] and... The weapons... The swords of shining metal... And those who
[04:26] found them and took these shining blades in hand were only men, now
[04:30] man was the master of this world.
[04:33] The story tells of stormy skies
[sings: raging winds]
[04:37] Black clouds gathered up high
[04:41] And of lightning striking from a
[04:45] Burning bloodred sky
[04:48] The mountains crumbled to the seas
[04:52] Earth shook the worlds collide
[04:56] Ending the age of gods
[04:59] Giving birth to our time
[05:03] And man lived and learned
[05:10] The secret of steel
[05:38] Ore of earth - fire of sky
[05:41] Forged is blade of gods
[05:44] Blood and iron Blood and iron
[05:51] Blood and iron Blood and iron
[05:59] Blood and iron Blood and iron
[06:06] Blood and iron Blood and iron
[06:19] So the age to learn and to teach
[06:25] for man begins, the power to know
[06:37] the blood and iron discipline, and
[06:49] tell the story of how man was granted
[06:54] these shining blades of steel
[09:04] Knowing of the past she will know
[09:07] of the tomorrow and man shall reign, yes,
[09:10] even conquer other worlds and she will set
[09:13] sails on her starships sailing across the
[09:16] black space and become the new gods of the skies.
[09:23] The skies... the skies... the skies... the skies... the skies...
[09:41] the skies... the skies...
[10:07] Blood and iron.
