Blood and Iron Lyrics

to defend our land with swords in hand
our lives we forsake as this is our fate
from homes we march to face this charge
we kiss goodbye to our children and our wives

we're coming with pride - with fire in our eyes
and prayers in our hearts that our swords shall find their mark
for all we hold dear we swallow all our fear
on this field we stand to battle to the man

for hope - for honour - for home - for hearth
for lands - for lords - for the gods we charge
for oaths - for gold - for my family I hold
blood red iron in my hands

for hope - for honour - for home - for hearth
for lands - for lords - for the gods we charge
for oaths - for gold - for my family I hold
blood red iron in my hands

like a storm we strike with steel and might
we shall hold the line as we fight or die
as we face the horde the host doth roar
with shoulders in our shields we step over those we kill

they fought with pride but now cold are their eyes
with stone in our hearts our swords shall find their mark
for all we hold dear we slaughter those we fear
in victory we stand as we butcher every man

with death and carnage all around
broken bodies choke the ground
in these dark days
blood and iron rule the world

with death and carnage close at hand
ravens rule this dying land
in these dark days
blood and iron rule the world

for hope - for honour - for home - for hearth
for lands - for lords - for the gods we charge
for oaths - for gold - for my family I hold
blood red iron in my hands

for hope - for honour - for home - for hearth
for lands - for lords - for the gods we charge
for oaths - for gold - for my family I hold
blood red iron in my hands

bold men's blood runs like rain
drowning in a sea of pain
bold men's blood runs like rain
drowning in a sea of pain

to war we ride
raise your sword to the sky
to war we ride
raise your sword to the sky

bold men's blood runs like rain
drowning in a sea of pain
bold men's blood runs like rain
drowning in a sea of pain

to war we ride
raise your sword to the sky
to war we ride
raise your sword to the sky

for hope - for honour - for home - for hearth
for lands - for lords - for the gods we charge
for oaths - for gold - for my family I hold
blood red iron in my hands

for hope - for honour - for home - for hearth
for lands - for lords - for the gods we charge
for oaths - for gold - for my family I hold
blood red iron in my hands

with death and carnage all around
broken bodies choke the ground
in these dark days
blood and iron rule the world

with death and carnage close at hand
ravens rule this dying land
in these dark days
blood and iron rule the world
