Ironsword - Crown Of Iron Lyrics

There was a time when by the axe we ruled
And Aquilonia was at our feet
We were men before we were kings
That never knew the word defeat

Crown of iron
Crown of iron

There is a time the burden drags ever on
Adders conspire betrayal schemes
A toast with wine to all the battles fought
Let others dream imperial dreams

Crown of iron
Crown of iron

Now we look back with sadness in our eyes
Adventure and lust are memories past
Glory days are over, honour is what we've kept
Thus to die free at last

There comes a time of great weariness
And the throne room becomes a cage
Upon our brows the crowns cease to sparkle
We're fat, bald and bent with age
