Critics have compared Iron Savior's sound and musical approach to classic heavy metal bands like Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, and Queensrÿche. Kai Hansen's presence in the band brought to the Iron Savior albums on which he appeared a style heavily influenced by Gamma Ray and Helloween.
Since its inception, Iron Savior has released twelve studio albums, two EPs, three singles and one live album. Despite numerous lineup changes, Piet has continued to direct the band and is currently the only remaining founding member.

NEVER SAY DIE
Iron Savior Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I am your leader
I'm in command
The fate of all my followers
Lies in my hand
The burdon of what is right or wrong
I have to take you all
Inside this burning gate
Will we ever come back
Follow me now
We will attack
Never say die
On wings of hope we'll fly
Never surrender
No never - never say die
Dragons of light
We're leaving tonight
The wings of hope bring us high
Never say die
Fighters are launching up into the sky
On fire they ride
Goddess of fate
Guide and protect us tonight
Into darkness and shadow
So far beyond
Oh, I don't know
If there will be tomorrow
Never say die...
Warriors hear my call
The Evil has to fall
[SOLO Piet - Kai - Piet - Kai - both]
Will we ever come back
We're going beyond
Follow me now
We will attack
Never say die...
Never say - never say - never say die!
The above lyrics are from the chorus of Iron Savior's song "Never Say Die", which tells a story of a leader who takes his followers through a burning gate that glows in unholy light. The leader, being responsible for the fate of his followers, feels the burden of having to make difficult decisions and must make a choice to take his crew beyond what they know, possibly risking their lives. The crewmen are aware that there is a high probability they may not return from this journey, but they are determined to follow their leader's call and attack the unknown entity behind the gate on wings of hope.
The imagery in the song is vivid and intense, as the leader and his crew venture into the darkness and shadows, guided only by the goddess of fate. The lyrics ask tough questions, such as if they will ever come back, and if there will be a tomorrow, both of which indicate the gravity and danger of their mission. However, despite the odds, the crewmen keep up their spirits and spirits of their fellow warriors with the rallying cry of "never say die!".
In essence, these lyrics symbolize the courage, determination and willingness to take risks that are required to achieve great things, be it in a quest for knowledge, self-discovery, or any other aspirations in life.
Line by Line Meaning
Like the Jaws of Hell the burning gate glows in unholy light.
The gate that's on fire illuminates like a devilish creature showing us horror and darkness beyond.
What horror lies beyond this rip in the continuum?
What kind of terror is hidden beyond this tear in the fabric of time and space?
The crewmen know that it is not likely to return, but never say die...
The crew knows that their chances of survival are slim, but they're determined to try regardless of the danger.
