Verse I
Beneath the frozen mountain's eye,
The ancient waters never die.
They grind the granite into sand,
The first and last to rule the land.
They've watched the banners turn to dust,
They've drowned the greed, the steel, the lust.
No tyrant's throne, no warrior's blade
Can halt the course the rivers made.
Pre-Chorus
Ride the torrent, break the chain,
Born from thunder, fed by rain!
Chorus
Rivers of iron! Rivers of flame!
No one can silence your eternal name!
Rolling like armies across the earth,
Destroying death, creating birth.
Rivers of iron! Never restrained!
Wild through the ages, forever untamed!
From the peaks to the endless sea,
You carry the soul of eternity!
Verse II
They swallow towers, cleanse the scars,
Reflect the fire of dying stars.
Each crashing wave, a battle cry,
Each roaring rapid will not die.
The wolves may howl, the eagles soar,
But rivers sing forevermore.
Through endless night and blazing dawn,
Their sacred journey marches on.
Bridge
Stand beside the raging tide!
Let the fearless spirit rise!
We are carved from rock and rain,
Unbroken hearts, untamed, unchained!
Final Chorus
Rivers of iron! Rivers of might!
Carry our voices into the night!
When all the kingdoms fade away,
Your endless power still will stay.
Raise your fists! Let freedom soar!
Hear the ancient waters roar!
Forever flowing, fierce and free—
The rivers write eternity!
