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.

Still I Believe
Iron Savior Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or is it just me
Who cannot see
The greatness of Man
Fighting and killing ourselves
As best as we can
Seems as we're breaking
People must wake up
This is the final call
But still I believe
That tomorrow (will)
Be a brighter day
We are dancing on the edge
Though we're still in time
For that train we need to catch
There's a hole in the sky
The land is bleeding
Doomed to die
Self proclaimed saviors
Are slinging the gun
Give me a break
Uhh, I cannot go on
But still I believe
That tomorrow (will)
Be a brighter day
We are dancing on the edge
Though we're still in time
For that train we need to catch
But still I believe
That tomorrow (will)
Be a brighter day
We are dancing on the edge
Though we're still in time
For that train we need to catch
The lyrics to Iron Savior's song "Still I Believe" are a commentary on the state of the world, with the singer questioning whether it is madness or simply his own inability to see the greatness of humanity. The references to "fighting and killing ourselves" and "self-proclaimed saviors" slinging guns point to a world that is essentially doomed, bleeding out and on the brink of destruction. However, the singer still holds onto hope, insisting that tomorrow will be a brighter day, and the people of the world still have time to make a change.
The song's message is ultimately a call to action, urging people to wake up and take responsibility for their own lives and the world around them. The image of dancing on the edge suggests a precarious situation, but also a sense of possibility - as long as we are still in time, there is a chance for redemption. The train we need to catch could represent that chance, or perhaps the only means of escaping a world consumed by its own destruction.

Am I surrounded by madness
Do I live in a world of insanity?
Or is it just me
Maybe I am the only one who sees the chaos?
Who cannot see
I cannot comprehend
The greatness of Man
The potential that humans possess
Fighting and killing ourselves
We are destroying ourselves
As best as we can
We are doing our utmost
Seems as we're breaking
It appears that we are crumbling
For nothing at all
Without any reasonable cause
People must wake up
Humanity needs to realize
This is the final call
It is the last chance to change
But still I believe
Nevertheless, I have faith
That tomorrow (will)
In the future, there is hope
Be a brighter day
A day with a more positive outlook
We are dancing on the edge
We are living dangerously
Though we're still in time
Despite the fact that there is still time
For that train we need to catch
To avoid being left behind
There's a hole in the sky
The atmosphere is being destroyed
The land is bleeding
The natural environment is being damaged
Doomed to die
Heading towards an inevitable end
Self proclaimed saviors
Individuals who mistakenly believe they can save us
Are slinging the gun
Engaged in violent behavior
Give me a break
Enough is enough
Uhh, I cannot go on
This is too much to bear

Fkn EPIC riff. Love the verse. At 1 min in the song falls off a bit. Dunno if its the mixing or the overall feel but otherwise its a great song!

@henry46619 Megatropolis seems to be pretty much Coruscant, though I got the impressions that it's just a city of hundreds of millions rather than a city covering a whole planet.
