lyrics
Original lyrics by Florin "Crivat" Tibu
Stahl kennt kein Rost, denn Stahl ist meine Seele,
das Erbe Eisens ist verloren;
unsterblicher Glanz in meinen Augen,
Aus Stahl bin ich noch einmal geboren
das stärkste Herz bleibt
nicht in Kathedralen,
sein Weg für immer,
der Freiheit folgend.
zu tun, zu schaffen,
die Welt zu verbessern,
lächeln wenn
der Himmel schwindet.
Weder Menschenkraft
Noch Gottesmacht
kann den starken
Willen ändern.
Ich werde weder knien,
noch Kopf senken,
Reine Stahlessenz fließt
durch meinen Adern.

Des Waldes Lied
streichelt meine Ohren
das Flüstern der Bäche
stärkt meinen alten Arm;
der Horizont ruft,
die stillen Kirchenglocken -
Schwach gegen
unseren Schwarm.
machtlose Gebete,
hoffnungslose Schreie
in unserer Umarmung
wiedergeboren
Kalter Stahl kann
herzlos sein
hat aber seine
Wärme nicht verloren.
English translation by Alexandru Diaconescu:
Steel Knows No Rust
Steel knows no rust for steel is my spirit,
the lore of iron lies forgotten;
alight in my eyes immortal glory,
in steel was I once again begotten
The strongest hart dwells
not in yon cathedrals,
its way forever
pursuing freedom.
to act, to kindle
the world to embetter
smiling when
the heavens dwindle.
Neither strength of wight
nor godly might
ay can make the
strong will waver.
I will not ay cower,
never my head lower,
steel’s own pure self doth
in my veins braver.

The forest’s song
snuggles in my ears
the whisper of brooklets
steels my olden sword;
the skyline calls,
subdued, the belfry’s church bells –
weak against
mighty our horde.
Feeble supplications,
hope-denuded screeches
in our tight embracement
newly begotten
icy steel can
heartless be
yet never has its
ardour lain forgotten.

A masterpiece of Folk Metal. You know how I know? When I get goosebumps after listening to a album. Every song is perfection, beautifully crafted. Haunting vocals and violin, blazing guitar solos - it's all here. 10/10! SwordnBoard
