Bathory - Man Of Iron Lyrics
I have paced these forests for so long I don't know if I am man or I am beast.I, though, hold deep within me a quest for revenge.Then I must be a man as much as I can be.I have learned to speak the tongue of the animalI have learned to read the signs in bark and snow.I have taken within myself the spirits of my fathers,long time gone.In this short time, far from home, a man of Iron I've grown.A man of Iron I have grown.A part of the Eternal Woods...Late evening...["Just after sunset on his way back to his camp after watching the sun unite][with the mountains in the west, he sees the flickering of light between the][tree trunks.

The one eyed old man matches the][description of the soothsayer, as told by the elders of his village by the][fires at night when he only a child. The boy, now a young man, eager to][know, asks the one eyed old man about his dreams. Dreams he cannot][understand. Dreams about strange things he is seeing himself doing. Then][the winds that seem to talk to him. Voices that whisper to him behind his][back. The one eyed old man tells him of the cycles of the stars, of the][trail of fate and of the valley where time and space had ceased to exist...][where his world ends and the shadows begin. The one eyed old man tells the][young man that fate has chosen him to interfere with the other world. The][disturbance is already made. The daughters of the four winds have sold][themselves to the shadows, distorting the balance of the universe. And the][one eyed old man says he has seen him come for a thousand years, and that]-acapo
