[Verse 1]
Born as the heir of a titan
No sign of love, only greatness and delusion
The hammering of the smithy fills your night
Chosen as ruler in the center of power
A heavy burden rests on your shoulders
The chance of a life of your own, you've missed it
Rage riots in your heart
Ember blazes in the steel furnaces
[Pre-Chorus]
Living and dying in the sign of the rings
You cannot escape the curse of history
You cannot jump over it
The shadow of the rings
[Chorus]
The men of steel torment you
Steelеd men are your choice
You don't carе about glory and legacy
Live as if it were the last time
[Verse 2]
A diadem made from pressed ore
Is your only armour against the pain
And every day is a day of steel
This is your life, you have no choice
Cast lead is all the same to you
Even trillions of Deutschmarks will not set you free
The power game cannot be won
The burden of history cannot be defeated
[Pre-Chorus]
Living and dying in the sign of the rings
You can't escape the curse of history
You can't jump over it
The shadow of the rings
[Chorus]
The men of steel torment you
Steeled men are your choice
You don't care about glory and legacy
Live as if it were the last time
The men of steel torment you
Steeled men are your choice
You don't care about glory and legacy
Live as if it were the last time
