Operus - Steel Against Steel

From legends and stories
The pages of history read,
Our King will protect us against all black magic
But we wield the steel!
And for our part, we will protect the realm
Against the armies of thousands
A pact sealed by blood,
Our ancestral blood:
In ancient times when sorcery thrived over the world
We laid down our lives to fight for the King
Each and every man has sworn to fight for this land
We are the shield of human folk
Against steel, we live and die by the seal
We are the steel against steel
When one man dies another follows close behind
To pick up the fight and rejoin the field
And proudly feel
The Steel in his hands he fights for this land
Against the armies of one (or thousands)
A pact sealed by blood,
Our ancestral blood
Forged in fire
Our battle cry
Rings loud and echoes through the trees

With axe and sword

A crashing chord
Will pierce the armor of their souls

We won't crack or break
Our swords will never betray
And the earth will shake
As we enter the fray
We will make them kneel
We are the steel against steel
