Text
[Verse 1]
Beneath the frost
The rivers hum low
The iron wind
It whispers and moans
A crow takes flight from the blackened tree
Its shadow stretching far
Chasing me
[Prechorus]
Ashes fall like bitter snow
The earth remembers what we owe
[Chorus]
The iron wind blows
The iron wind howls
Through the bones of the forest
Through the wolves’ prowls
The iron wind calls
The iron wind sings
It carries the weight of forgotten kings
[Verse 2]
The fields are cracked
The soil turned gray
The forge of the world keeps time at bay
Under the moon
The old stones quake
A song of the ages they cannot fake
[Prechorus]
Sparks ignite where shadows creep
The mountain wakes
It shakes its sleep
[Chorus]
The iron wind blows
The iron wind howls
Through the bones of the forest
Through the wolves’ prowls
The iron wind calls
The iron wind sings
It carries the weight of forgotten kings
Beneath the frost
The rivers hum low
The iron wind
It whispers and moans
A crow takes flight from the blackened tree
Its shadow stretching far
Chasing me
[Prechorus]
Ashes fall like bitter snow
The earth remembers what we owe
[Chorus]
The iron wind blows
The iron wind howls
Through the bones of the forest
Through the wolves’ prowls
The iron wind calls
The iron wind sings
It carries the weight of forgotten kings
[Verse 2]
The fields are cracked
The soil turned gray
The forge of the world keeps time at bay
Under the moon
The old stones quake
A song of the ages they cannot fake
[Prechorus]
Sparks ignite where shadows creep
The mountain wakes
It shakes its sleep
[Chorus]
The iron wind blows
The iron wind howls
Through the bones of the forest
Through the wolves’ prowls
The iron wind calls
The iron wind sings
It carries the weight of forgotten kings
Musikstyle
raw and impassioned, mandolin, folk, with dynamic shifts between soft verses and thunderous choruses; male vocals, folk metal, acoustic meets electric; layered textures of acoustic guitar, driving, and heavy distorted electric riffs; steady pounding rhythm
