There was a time long ago
When men fought for steel
The sword was worth more than gold
And easy to make the kill
Twenty years in the gallows
One slave began to rise
He fights a thousand battles
With hatred in his eyes
Medieval steel cuts you like a knife
The warriors on the battlefield
Laying down their lives
For steel
Then came the day he was set free
Free to roam this land
A will in is his heart and his sword in his hand
He began to take command
Over the mountain through the glen
Came the king and his marching men
To fight the fight and to kill the slave
When the fight was over he was dead
Medieval steel cuts you like a knife
The warriors on the battlefield
Laying down their lives
For steel
