Whose fatal scroll is that? Me thinks 'tis mine! Why sinks my heart and why faltereth my tongue? The iron helm of war, is brought to the line Cast 'pon this spacious orb, with fate intertwined Aye, had I three lives tonight's death by steel I'd rise up with the ghosts of the dawn over wellfought fields Prepare! Prepare! Your bodies for the earth and be gone Prepare, prepare The iron helm of war will live on The arrows of god are drawn, they light up the sky As Satan is staring through His louring heavens rye Thousands of souls would seek Forgiveness tonight To end up ripped apart, fall prey before the scythe Aye, had I three lives tonight's death by steel I'd rise up with the ghosts of the dawn over wellfought fields Prepare! Prepare! Your bodies for the earth and be gone Prepare, prepare The iron helm of war will live on Yeah, give me three lives tonight They're swarming around us But we're lost, never to be found We stay underground! Oh, had I three lives tonight's death by steel I'd rise up with the ghosts of the dawn over wellfought fields Prepare! Prepare! Your bodies for the earth and be gone Prepare, prepare The iron helm of war will live on Prepare! Prepare! Oh, if I would die tonight, bury me in steel
