The Fathers of Iron Flesh

We hail from the open road Ripped open and unimposed The war machines, the pearly gate Me thinks the golden God awaits Betwixt the planet and underground Is where the golden foe found Yonder towards the evergreen To summon back the great machine Cloud, shadow, Earth, flesh (Cloud, shadow, Earth, flesh) Fire, forge, steel, death (Fire, forge, steel, death) Cloud, shadow, Earth, flesh (Cloud, shadow, Earth, flesh) Iron jaw, fire breath (Iron jaw, fire breath) The killing and dredge the loch Raise the church from ancient rock The furnace housed in chambers deep While baby Jesus is fast asleep They walked the chain and crossed the brock And treked the valley and electric foot A castle built in the mountains eye To house the church, the petrol shrine They found the never-forge The anvil strikes the iron fist They'll live forevermore They will traverse the ancient mist Cloud, shadow, Earth, flesh (Cloud, shadow, Earth, flesh) Fire, forge, steel, death (Fire, forge, steel, death) Cloud, shadow, Earth, flesh (Cloud, shadow, Earth, flesh) Iron jaw, fire breath (Iron jaw, fire breath)
