Deep in darkness chaos reigned for aeons untold Eternal of frost and flame, the cosmos unfolds Deep within primordial cloud The fire burns as frost bites The yawning gulf's now roaring aloud With the essence of fire and ice [Pre-Chorus] In forge's fire of flaming wrath The hammer hews to pave the path For the breath of life, the tree of ash Time is born [Chorus] Icy blizzards, rain, destruction Firestorms, all form creation Fire and ice Behold fire and ice The roaring seas and tempests of old Are all forgotten lore Riding forth all shall behold the triumphs of war Bold heroes of greatest zeal Are by dreams of glory enticed All searching for the riddle of steel The secret of fire and ice [Pre-Chorus] In forge's fire of flaming wrath The hammer hews to pave the path The rise of empires, armies clash Time for war [Chorus] Icy blizzards, rain, destruction Firestorms, all form creation Fire and ice Behold fire and ice Deep in darkness tyrants reigned for ages untold Eternal feud of frost and flame, the story unfolds Great kings of boldest zeal all made their grim sacrifice Ever they sought the riddle of steel The power of fire and ice [Pre-Chorus] In forge's fire of flaming wrath The hammer's hewn and paved the path The fall of empires, all is ash Time no more [Chorus] Icy blizzards, rain, destruction Firestorms, all form creation Fire and ice Behold fire and ice
