Lyrics Korpiklaani - Tapporauta

[Killing Iron]

Synty tapporauta!

Soas' sorti surmamiehet ilikiäimmät ilkimöitsi,
häviölle hennon heimon, kuolontyveen kurjan kansan.
Iästä saapu inehmoine, koillisesta kuninkaine,
anto ahjon, pisti palkeet, manamalmin valjastaiksi:
Synty tapporauta!

[Chorus:]
Missä poltti kostonliekki, siel' ei nähty rauhaa
Mikä malmis' tummaa tulta, mikä verta vahvaa
Siittä synty hurmekirves - synty tapporauta
Mihnä iski tapporauta, siel' ei nähty rauhaa

Synty tapporauta!

Laitto miehet miekkoihinsa, kovapäiset kirveihiinsä,
lausu piälle tannerloihdun, sorvaisihe sotasanat.
Anto ankaran iskiellä, kovakouran kurmutella,
kiromahdin kiskuella, vihavirren veisahella:
Synty tapporauta!

Heikko heimo hurjiintuihe, kurja kansa kimmastuihe,
kosti miähil', kosti naisil', kosti viälä lapsillekki
Mihnä iski tapporauta siinä kallot katkieli
Mihnä tempas' hurmekirves siinä lihat liiskaantuihe:
Synty tapporauta!

Sillon rautakuninkaine, vasken tuoja, malmin luoja,
katos' iliman istumatta, läksi iliman astumatta.
Missä vuosi vihaveri - siellä suru suurin surmas'
Missä vuosi vihaveri - siellä suru surmas'
Synty tapporauta!

Synty jumalauta!

- Killing iron was born
- Killing iron was born

Soldiers oppressing
With malevolent, evil deed
Breaking the weak
Killing the poor

From the east came a man
From the northeast came a king
Gave the forge, set up the belows
Leashed the death ore
- Killing iron was born

Burning flame of revenge, no peace to be seen
Black fire of the iron ore with strong blood
Created the axe of blood - the killing iron
Hitting of the killing iron, no peace to be seen

- Killing iron was born
- Killing iron was born

Armed the men with swords
Gave axes to the determined
Chanted the spell of battlefield
Forged the words of war

Cruel smashing
hitting with the iron fist
Screaming the curses
Singing out the hatred
- Killing iron was born

Burning flame of revenge, no peace to be seen
Black fire of the iron ore with strong blood
Created the axe of blood - the killing iron
Hitting of the killing iron, no peace to be seen

- Killing iron was born
- Killing iron was born

The weak became the furious
The poor became the irritated
Revenge to men, revenge to women
Revenge even to the children

Strinking of the killing iron
Splitting of the skulls
Swinging of the axe of blood
Slashing of the flesh
- Killing iron was born

Burning flame of revenge, no peace to be seen
Black fire of the iron ore with strong blood
Created the axe of blood - the killing iron
Hitting of the killing iron, no peace to be seen

- Killing iron was born
- Killing iron was born

Then the iron kind
Bringer of metal, creator of ore
Vanished without a trace
Returned without a sound

Where the blood of hate was bleeding
The sorrow killed the most of men
Where the blood of hate was bleeding
The sorrow killed the men
- Killing iron was born

Burning flame of revenge, no peace to be seen
Black fire of the iron ore with strong blood
Created the axe of blood - the killing iron
Hitting of the killing iron, no peace to be seen
