1. Wizard is a German Power Metal band, formed in 1989 by the drummer Sören van Heek. The band was often called "Germany's answer to Manowar". On some albums the lyrics are about battles, metal, war and steel. The exception were the albums Odin, which is a concept album about Norse mythology, Goochan which is a fantasy story about a witch (written by Volker Leson and author William B. Nuke), Thor which is also about north mythology and ... of wariwulfs and bluotvarwes which is about vampires and werewolfs (written by Wizard and Andre Wiesler, German author).
Wizard played at Wacken Open Air 2002, Bang Your Head!!! 2002, Keep It True 2004, Dokk'em Open Air 2006, Magic Circle Festival 2009 and is in the 2012 line-up of Hammerfest IV. In 2003 longtime guitarist Michael Maass quit the band because of health problems. In 2006 the band left the label Limb Music after four albums and joined the somewhat bigger label Massacre Records with a new album in mind to be released in January 27, 2007, titled Goochan. On may 18th, 2007, Michael Maass returned to the band after a three-year break. The band's 2009 album Thor received a positive review from The Pit reviewer Frank Heise, who praised "The Visitor" as the best track on it.
The band's 2011 album ...Of Wariwulfs and Bluotvarwes received a positive review from SLUG Magazine reviewer Dylan Chadwick noting that "well trodden, and admittedly formulaic, it's a resoundingly competent platter of steel-willed, fist pounding heavy metal that'll satisfy the most voracious headbanger's hunger."
Fire and Blood
Wizard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In this dungeon without light
Torturing your body without mercy
Breaking your bones, burning your flesh
I don't wanna hear your lies
I saw the evil sign on your skin
Tell me the truth you are a witch
Fire and blood - my fire
Fire and blood - your death
Fire and blood
Your blood is my sacrifice
The spanish boot broke your leg
Glowing steel burnt your flesh
The whiplash on your back
Makes you scream
Tell me the truth or die
Your whispering i understand
You slept with satan to the end
Riding with demons through the night
Die by the cross you will burn
Fire and blood - my fire
Fire and blood - your death
Fire and blood
Your blood is my sacrifice
You stand on the pyre
The fire kisses your flesh
Screaming in pain
And you look into my eyes
And that what you see, makes me smile
Cause you know that i'm satan in disguise
The song “Fire and Blood” by the German Heavy metal band Wizard is a dark and gruesome song that vividly portrays the torture of a supposed witch. The lyrics describe the torture of the witch in a dungeon without light, where her body is mercilessly tortured and her bones are broken, and her flesh is burned. The witch is accused of being a servant to Satan and during her torture, she is asked to confess her sins and tell the truth. However, she chooses to remain silent and instead whispers to her torturer that she is guilty of sleeping with Satan and riding with demons through the night.
As the song progresses, the torture becomes more severe and includes the use of the Spanish boot to break the witch's legs and glowing steel to burn her flesh. With whiplashes on her back, she screams in agony, but still chooses death over confession. Eventually, the witch is burned alive on the pyre as a sacrifice to Satan. The song ends with the torturer revealing his true identity as Satan in disguise, smiling as he watches the witch die.
The lyrics of the song are a vivid portrayal of the dark and disturbing aspects of witch persecution that took place in medieval times. The song also has a clear message of warning against the dangers of blind belief in superstition and religious fanaticism that can lead to such inhumane acts of brutality.
