[Verse 1] They say that those who crawl must gaze aloft towards the higher ways, and curse the stone on which they fell; they weave their pity like a spell. Yet not a drop of grief I spare – two turning wheels, the road laid bare. Two heavy oxen strain the wood, I mock the fates that thought they could, and raise my cup to make it clear: you’ll miss the jest if you come near. [Pre-Chorus] Save up your tears to grace the grave, I shall not rise, I shall not crave. The yew-bow bends, the cord takes wing – now hear the ancient timber sing! [Chorus] High-built ramparts, bitter fall! I take to flight above you all! Iron fetters everywhere! Free as the hawk within the air! The wide earth heeds the bolder hand, though mud and mire claim the land. Come, fill the horn and let it clink to what no crowned king can think! [Verse 2] They speak in pride of sturdy gait, and strides that march to meet their fate; yet in the gaze that seeks my seat, the swiftest runner finds defeat. I rest upon my throne of oak, no master bids me bear a yoke. And should you crave my hearth’s embrace, then hear me true and show your face. [Pre-Chorus] Keep all your mercy for the night, I’ve set the wandering fools alight. A steady shaft, a word unbound – to chase the gloom into the ground! [Chorus] High-built ramparts, bitter fall! I take to flight above you all! Iron fetters everywhere! Free as the hawk within the air! The wide earth heeds the bolder hand, though mud and mire claim the land. Come, fill the horn and let it clink to what no crowned king can think! [Bridge] There lies a grief that never fades, untouched by time or quiet shades. Yet take my fingers in the light... and weep no gentle tears tonight! [Chorus] High-built ramparts, bitter fall! I take to flight above you all! Iron fetters everywhere! Free as the hawk within the air! The wide earth heeds the bolder hand, though mud and mire claim the land. Come, fill the horn and let it clink to what no crowned king can think! [Outro] On iron-bound wheels through time and tide!
