Metallherz Lyrics — songs and translations.
Appendix 1 to the novel “Chronicles of Fire and Steel.”
“Music lives in sound. Everything else is words”.
This section brings together Metallherz songs: original German lyrics and English translations with author commentary or sources of inspiration. These words are more than lines of text — they reflect the project’s imagery, philosophical contrasts, and emotional meaning.
Metallherz is not only sound, but also story. The lyrics continue the musical universe, expanding the narrative of “Chronicles of Fire and Steel” and revealing the inner world of its characters.
Here you will find the songs themselves — listen online, explore the original lyrics and translations of individual compositions. New texts will be added as new releases appear.
We recommend listening to each track on its song page or on streaming platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music or any of your favorite services before reading the lyrics and translation — this helps you feel the connection between music and meaning.
