Night hangs on the city Like a blanket on a cage A sacrifice prepared Laughter lies on faces Where the sun has never shone The fear of life is strong We are waiting in a forest Deep and dark behind the wall What is hidden in our hearts Absolves us of all worry When our fate is in the hands Of a demon or a god Porrohman come from the inside of time Takes his dust from a moving line On our knees with our eyes on the ground Those once lost have now been found Give us iron give us rope Give us iron give us rope Save us from all worldly pain Save us from the glowing rain Save us from all love and hope Give us iron give us rope Give us iron give us rope Give us iron give us rope
