Blades of Steel
Satan Lyrics

The Vikings they were conquerors, they sought to rule the land,
The Vikings were a powerful and ambitious force who sought to dominate and control the lands they encountered.

Many peaceful villages were crushed beneath their hands,
The Vikings were merciless in their quest for power and destroyed many villages and towns in their path.

Driven by the power of Lucifer and Thor,
The Vikings believed they were empowered by the gods of their religion, including the god of war, Thor, and the devil, Lucifer.

They pillaged and they plundered, took women for their whores,
The Vikings had no respect for human life or dignity and would engage in violent and abusive behavior towards women.

Blades of steel.
'Blades of steel' is a repeated refrain throughout the song, emphasizing the brutal and terrifying nature of the Viking's weapons.

The Vikings sailed to foreign shores, with steel at their command,
The Vikings traveled great distances with their powerful weapons at the ready, in order to conquer new lands and peoples.

Seeking warmth and shelter, they roamed across the land,
The Vikings were motivated both by their ambition to expand their territory and by their basic needs for warmth and shelter in new lands.

Zandor was their leader, there's none so fearless and brave,
The Vikings esteemed bravery and courage in their leaders, and Zandor was seen as a leader who embodied those qualities.

He'd guide them through the coming months,
Zandor had the respect and trust of his fellow Vikings and was responsible for leading them through both peaceful and difficult times.

Through winter they'd be safe,
The harsh winter was a major threat to the Vikings, and Zandor was responsible for ensuring that they had the resources and protection needed to survive it.

Shining sun warms the earth, autumn time has come,
The changing seasons were an important part of Viking life and marked the transition from the harvest time of summer to the colder months of winter.

People gathered in the fields, the summer's almost gone,
The end of summer was a time for people to come together and celebrate the harvest, but also prepare for the challenges of the forthcoming winter.

By the fireside, they would laugh and dance and sing,
Communal activities around the warmth of a fire were important for bringing people together and promoting social cohesion.

Prepared for anything the winter months would bring,
The Vikings were well aware of the harsh conditions of winter and took initiatives to prepare for them as best they could.

But soon they would fall by blades of steel.
Despite their preparations, the Vikings were vulnerable to attack by other groups who possessed equally powerful weapons and were also driven by their own ambitions for conquest and power.

Blades of steel, ripping through the town,

Blades of steel, tearing you all down,
The savagery of the Viking's attacks is emphasized in this line, which presents the image of the powerful weapons demolishing everything in their path.

Blades of steel, put terror in your hearts
The powerful and violent nature of the Vikings' own capabilities inspired fear and terror among those they encountered or attacked.

Blades of steel, tear the world apart.
This final line represents a clear warning about the destructive powers of violence and conflict and emphasizes the ultimate consequences of such actions, which can result in widespread destruction and ruin.
