The year 2000 saw the release of Iron Fire's debut album, 'Thunderstorm' , which received rave reviews. The band's sophmore effort, 'On the Edge' (2001), was not viewed as the bands best work by critics. The band has never had a stable line-up, with multiple changes coming from 2001 - 2006. March 2006 saw the return of Iron Fire with their third studio album 'Revenge' (from Napalm Records). The two albums after that, 'Blade of Triumph' (2007) and 'To the Grave' (2009), went on to receive good reviews by critics. They also marked what can be called the band's viking trilogy.
After an album 'Metalmorphosized' (2010), which contained reworked versions of left-over material from then bands' first decade, they released 'Voyage of the Damned' (2012). It marked a turn towards sci-fi themed lyrics and artwork while also containing more keyboards, without losing the heavyness. A video clip was shot for the single Leviathan.
In 2014 the band released a stand alone single 'A Token of My Hatred' (Virgin Steele cover) on Crime Records, Also on Crime Records the band released 'Among the Dead' (2016), which is probably the heaviest Iron Fire album to date.
Still Alive
Iron Fire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This is for those who care
I got my reason
No more in despair
We stand united
This is decided
The hand of fury
You're all invited
I crawl out of this nightmare
Out of the shadows
I walk into the devil's lair
My life
My path
Is where faith grows
'Cause I'm still alive
Feed the fire inside
I'm
I'm still alive
The fuel
The flame
Will ignite
This is the threshold
This is the quickening
No more rampage
In the battle ring
Fight for independence
For what you believe
The right to stand out
The glory to receive
I crawl out of this nightmare
Out of the shadows
I walk into the devil's lair
My life
My path
Is where faith grows
'Cause I'm still alive
Feed the fire inside
I'm
I'm still alive
The fuel
The flame
Will ignite
Take now what I've learned from
All these years of agony
And bring it
Take now
What I've learned from all these years of agony
And bring it to you
Bring it here tonight
