[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.
