Grand Magus - "Steel Versus Steel" (Bloodstock 2019)

"I was a thousand times more evil than thou" 

Drifting away into dreams of despair
Visions of doom and of dead eyes that stare
Will the end be what you thought - will you escape?
Across the plains you rode as you fled
The lord of chaos put a price on your head
And the black blade at your side won't let you rest

To slay became a trade
Your soul will have to pay
The final fate a clash between the blades

And in the end it's steel versus steel
The final lock and the final key
It's the steel versus steel
A thousand souls won't tame the need
Steel versus steel
The final lock and the final key
Steel versus steel

Skin as white as the full moon at night
Eyes that burn like a red fire light
But the body's still as weak as a newborn child
Tried to rule with mercy inside
Ignore tradition and the dragons will rise
The dreaming city falls - lost in time

To slay became a trade
Your soul will have to pay
The final fate a clash between the blades

'Cause in the end it's steel versus steel
The final lock and the final key
It's the steel versus steel
A thousand souls won't tame the need
Steel versus steel
The final lock and the final key
Steel versus steel

A thousand souls won't tame the need
To slay became a trade
You will travel on the seas of fate
The seas of fate - between the blades
The price to pay - the end of time
The final fate a clash between the blades

And in the end it's steel versus steel
The final lock and the final key
Steel versus steel
A thousand souls won't tame the need
Steel versus steel
The final lock and the final key
Steel versus steel
A thousand souls won't tame the need
It's the steel versus steel
The final lock and the final key - the steel

Στο περσινό Βρετανικό μουσικό φεστιβάλ Bloodstock Open Air εμφανίσθηκαν οι Grand Magus. Ανάμεσα στα τραγούδια που απέδωσαν "ζωντανά" οι Σουηδοί metallers ήταν και το "Steel Versus Steel", το οποίο πρωτακούσαμε στον δίσκο "Triumph and Power" που κυκλοφόρησε τον χειμώνα του 2014...
