Man Of Iron |
| Where are you riding to Sir Knight |
| Alone and armed for war? |
| If not to fight for right Sir Knight |
| Then what are weapons for? |
| Why d’you hide your face Sir Knight |
| Within a face of iron? |
| The more you shield your eyes from light |
| The more you’ll make them blind |
| Turn your horse for home Sir Knight |
| Your hawk and hounds are waiting |
| Your Lady does not sleep at night |
| She fears the hand of fate tonight |
| Turn your face towards the sun |
| And listen to the minutes run |
| Oh can’t you feel the warning breeze |
| And hear the whisper in the trees? |
| Look behind you, man of iron |
| And your children call and do |
| Not find you and a wall of silent |
| Laughter scornes the chorus of their cries |
| Was this the end you chose, Sir Knight |
| Was this why you were born so bright? |
| The wolves will chew your bones tonight |
| It is your brother’s hand you hold so tight |
| Your brother’s blood, your brother’s life |
| Your brother’s love, your brother’s knife |
