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
