Bathory Man of Iron Lyrics:
I have paced these forests for so long I don't
know if I am man or I am beast. I, though, hold
deep within me a quest for revenge. Then I must be
a man as much as I can be.

I have learned to speak the tongue of the animal I
have learned to read the signs in bark and snow. I
have taken within myself the spirits of my
fathers, long time gone. In this short time, far
from home, a man of Iron I've grown. A man of Iron
I have grown.

A part of the Eternal Woods... Late evening...

["Just after sunset on his way back to his
camp after watching the sun unite]
[with the mountains in the west, he sees the
flickering of light between the]
[tree trunks. Approaching, he sees an old man
sitting calmly by a fire, as]
[if waiting for him. His left eye missing. His
beard as if gold. The signs]
[on his cloak and hood familiar. The one eyed old
man matches the]
[description of the soothsayer, as told by the
elders of his village by the]
[fires at night when he only a child. The boy, now
a young man, eager to]
[know, asks the one eyed old man about his dreams.

Dreams he cannot]
[understand. Dreams about strange things he is
seeing himself doing. Then]
[the winds that seem to talk to him. Voices that
whisper to him behind his]
[back. The one eyed old man tells him of the
cycles of the stars, of the]
[trail of fate and of the valley where time and
space had ceased to exist...]
[where his world ends and the shadows begin. The
one eyed old man tells the]
[young man that fate has chosen him to interfere
with the other world. The]
[disturbance is already made. The daughters of the
four winds have sold]
[themselves to the shadows, distorting the balance
of the universe. And the]
[one eyed old man says he has seen him come for a
thousand years, and that]
[the aging gods have told him to teach him all
that he has ever known and to]
[prepare him to ride beyond his world and into the
shadows as their champion]
[to restore the balance. To his aid he shall be
given a sword forged when]
[this world was young. He shall be guarded and
guided by two ravens, and he]
[shall ride the eight-legged stallion of his
fathers' god. He will encounter]
[the Woodwoman, and he will make a visit to the
Lake. One hundred days and]
[one hundred nights his training shall be hard.
And this very night it will]
[already have begun.]
[And thus he had met the One Eyed old
Man..."]
