Lyrics

Poor iron, poor iron
You were not so mighty
When you lay as milk
In a young maiden’s breasts

Poor iron, poor iron
You were not so mighty
When you were taken from the moss
Taken from the moss

Iron would not be so bad
If not for the snakes
And yellow ant’s poison
Mixed with iron’s seeds

From that iron became graceless
Wanting to bite its smith
And eat even the innocent
Eat the innocent
