   grandfather tell me a story
   oh all right go and get your storybook
   no no not one of those a real story
   a real story
   yes tell me about when you were a boy
   
   well then
   i shall have to take you back with me a long way in time
   
   it was my thirteenth year on a cold winters day
   as i walked through the enchanted forest
   i heard the sound of horses and men at arms
   i felt compelled to walk on and find the place of these sounds
   when the forest did clear i was standing on a hill
   before me was a great plain upon it the armies of the world
   standing waiting
   i thought to myself for whom or for what are they waiting
   suddenly a gust of wind came up from the north
   there appeared a lone rider holding a sword of steel
   then from the south came another bearing a battle ax
   from the east came a third holding a spiked club
   and finally from the west
   a rider who wielded a great hammer of war
   with them came their soldiers of death
   followed by an army of immortals
   they were few in number
   but the look in their eyes told all who beheld them
   that they would leave this day only in victory or death
   and there was a great silence
   my heart began to pound
   storm clouds filled the sky with darkness
   rain came
   and the four winds blew with such anger
   that i held fast to a tree
   i watched the four riders raise their weapons into the air
   without warning screaming their war cry
   they led the attack
   
   down to the battle they rode
   they met the armies of the world with a mighty clash
   i could feel the ground shake
   the earth drank much blood that day
   each of the four was unto himself a whirlwind of doom
   
   when the smoke did clear
   many thousands were dead
   there was much blood and gore
   their bodies lay broken and scattered across the battlefield
   like brown leaves blown by the wind
   and i saw the four ride together to the top of the hill
   while below them the soldiers of death assembled
   all those who would now swear allegiance to them
   
   and the four spoke the words of the warriors prayer
   
   gods of war i call you
   my sword is by my side
   i seek a life of honor free from all false pride
   i will crack the whip with a bold and mighty hail
   cover me with death if i should ever fail
   glory majesty unity
   hail hail hail
   
   and as i stood and looked on
   i heard the armies of the world hail them without end
   and their voices of victory carried long and far throughout the land
   
   well that s it
   did you like the story
   yeah it was great
   oh good i m glad
   now off to bed with you
   grandfather
   yes
   who were those four men
   who were they
   they were the metal kings

   gods of war i call you,
   my sword is by my side.
   i seek a life of honor,
   free from all false pride.

   with a bold mighty hail.
   cover me with death,
   if i should ever fail.
   glory, majesty, unity,
   hail, hail, hail!
