about

This is a German folk song composed by Robert Götz & Willi Nufer (1921) with the title “Die
Eisenfaust Am Lanzenschaft”. It was a song dedicated precisely to the Teutonic order, an
heroic vision of these knights is distilled in the song along with a catchy and singable melody.
All these elements made us decide to make a metal version, ready to be sung by hordes of
metalheads at concerts.

lyrics

¡¡ March to war !!

The iron fist on the lance shaft,
The reins on the left,
the knighthood of the empire bursts
And their swords flash.

Heya, heya, heya! Heya! And their swords flash

The Balkenkreuz, the black, flies
ahead on the white ground,
Abandoned but undefeated.
Its lore sounds to us.

Heya, heya, heya! Heya! Its lore sounds to us.

We march in the name of God
And so the Teutonic Knights marched to war.
And under the protection of god… they killed

It flutters bright in the morning wind
and greets the borderlands,
Greets them, our brothers they are
despite disgrace, and shame.

It flies ahead in knight's attire
And urges us to fight
for the lost glory of the empire,
pennants fly, we ride.

Heya, heya, heya! Heya! Pennants fly, we ride.
