Steel Does Not Lie | Epic Power Metal about the Only Truth a Warrior Can Trust

Steel does not lie. It never speaks at all. Kings, priests and prophets all have their stories. The blade has only one. A hard-edged power metal track from the perspective of a battle-hardened warrior who trusts only the steel in his hand. Genre: Epic Power Metal Mood: Cynical, resolute, powerful, grounded --- Steel Does Not Lie Kings speak of honor from polished halls, while nameless men answer forgotten calls. Every oath wears gold until kingdoms divide, every banner hides another lie. They promised us glory beyond the smoke, but glory was only another joke. The dead never cared who carried the crown— they all meet the same cold ground. I have watched proud empires barter away the lives of men they never knew by name. Truth was measured by whoever survived, while justice died before the fight. Steel does not lie— it never speaks at all. It asks no faith, it crowns no king, it never waits to fall. Steel does not lie— it knows no love or hate. It simply cuts through flesh and bone, while kingdoms argue fate. So keep your crowns, your saints, your righteous cries. The only truth I've ever held... Steel... does not lie. Priests raise their hands toward silent skies, calling surrender wisdom disguised. They bless the swords they never wield, then leave the broken on the field. The ink of treaties quickly fades, but blood remembers every blade. History changes every page— steel remembers every name. Every throne demands another war. Every victory leaves another scar. The louder the victors sing their praise, the less remains. Steel does not lie— it never speaks at all. It asks no faith, it crowns no king, it never waits to fall. Steel does not lie— it knows no love or hate. It simply cuts through flesh and bone, while kingdoms argue fate. So keep your crowns, your saints, your righteous cries. The only truth I've ever held... Steel... does not lie. Strip away the banners. Strip away the throne. Strip away the sermons carved into the stone. When every voice has fallen, when every lie has died, one thing still remains at my side. Steel... Steel... Steel does not lie— it asks for nothing more. No golden throne, no victor's song, no kingdom to restore. Steel does not lie— it leaves no room for pride. When every oath has turned to ash, it still remains beside. Crowns may glitter, saints may pray, prophets promise brighter days. History is bought and sold, truth is buried under gold. Still the blade remains the same. It never bargains, never blames. It never kneels, it never cries— steel does not lie. Ferrum non mentitur... Ferrum non mentitur... Raise your banners, raise your shields. Soon they'll vanish with the fields. Raise your voices to the sky— they will fade, but steel survives. Steel does not lie— the last companion at my side. When every kingdom falls to dust, when every oath is left behind... I will trust no crown, no king, no prophet's eyes. Only steel... does not lie. Ferrum non mentitur! Ferrum non mentitur! Ferrum... non... mentitur! --- Music created with AI support.
