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.

Iron Savior Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This is my manor
I'm reaching for the crown
And now it shall be mine
This is my realm
From far beyond the time
Out in the vast
I've been waiting for revenge
I will break through your defense
Protector
Will get inside your mind
I will enlight you
Free you from the blind
Protector
Will terminate the pain
I will enlight your
Sick and wicked brains
I am your Protector
This is my requiem of revenge
This is my rancour
I creep inside your mind
Into your very soul
I have the power
I am in control
Outcast in the void
Now I'm stronger than before
Landed to retake the crown
Your conqueror comes ashore
Protector
I creep inside
Your very mind
Into your soul I'm in control
Protector
I will get inside your mind
I will free you from the blind
I will terminate the pain
Enlight your wicked brains
The lyrics to Iron Savior's song Protector speak of a powerful individual who has come from "far beyond the time" to claim his rightful place as ruler. He describes how he has been "waiting for revenge" and how he will break through any defense that is placed in his way. The singer sees himself as a sort of "Protector," who will enter the minds of those who oppose him, freeing them from their blindness and wickedness.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of confidence and power that is exhibited by the singer. He speaks of his ability to control those around him, claiming to have landed to "retake the crown." At the same time, there is also an air of mystery surrounding him, as he is described as being an "outcast in the void."
The song overall speaks to the idea of taking control and fighting for what you believe in. It is a rallying cry for those who feel oppressed, encouraging them to take back power and fight for their rights.
