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 the ruler in the center of power
A heavy burden rests on your shoulders
You've missed the chance of a life of your own
In your heart, fury is raging
In your steel ovens, blaze is flaring
A life and a death under the sign of the rings
You can't escape the bane of history
Can't skip over it,
The shadow of the rings
The men of steel cause agony
Steeled men are your choice
You don't care about fame and legacy
Live as if it were the last time!
A tiara made of pressed ore
Is your only shield against pain
And every day stands under the sign of steel
This is your life, you've got no choice left
You don't care about cast lead
Even trillions of German marks won't free you
The game for power cannot be won
The burden of history cannot be subdued
A life and a death under the sign of the rings
You can't escape the bane of history
Can't skip over it,
The shadow of the rings
[x 2:]
The men of steel cause agony
Steeled men are your choice
You don't care about fame and legacy
Live as if it were the last time!
