Iced Earth Retribution Through The Ages Lyrics

Retribution Through The Ages Lyrics

Time, thousands of years pass by

But with the ancient rites intact

Man, mankind has multiplied

Spreading worldwide as planned



Kings and their armies preen

Draw lines in the sand

Fight for their so called rights

To God, gold and land



And through the ages we hand them their fate

Marionettes on a string

Phased retribution, precise and exact

Till the birth of the one sets us free



Blood, earth mother's soaked in blood

Spilled from the warring clans of man

Greed will serve to feed unrest

Antagonized within by our hand



Pain, death and pestilence

Will shake human faith

Creeds serving heresy

A crutch for mans flawed way



And through the ages we hand them their fate

Marionettes on a string

Phased retribution, precise and exact

Till the birth of the one sets us free



And through the ages we hand them their fate

Marionettes on a string

Phased retribution, precise and exact

Till the birth of the one sets us free
