Drifting away into dreams of despair
Visions of doom and of dead eyes that stare
Will the end be what you thought - will you escape?
Across the plains you rode as you fled
The lord of chaos put a price on your head
And the black blade at your side won't let you rest

To slay became a trade
Your soul will have to pay
The final fate a clash between the blades

And in the end it's steel versus steel
The final lock and the final key
It's the steel versus steel
A thousand souls won't tame the need
Steel versus steel
The final lock and the final key
Steel versus steel

Skin as white as the full moon at night
Eyes that burn like a red fire light
But the body's still as weak as a newborn child
Tried to rule with mercy inside
Ignore tradition and the dragons will rise
The dreaming city falls - lost in time

To slay became a trade
Your soul will have to pay
The final fate a clash between the blades

'Cause in the end it's steel versus steel
The final lock and the final key
It's the steel versus steel
A thousand souls won't tame the need
Steel versus steel
The final lock and the final key
Steel versus steel

A thousand souls won't tame the need
To slay became a trade
You will travel on the seas of fate
The seas of fate - between the blades
The price to pay - the end of time
The final fate a clash between the blades

And in the end it's steel versus steel
The final lock and the final key
Steel versus steel
A thousand souls won't tame the need
Steel versus steel
The final lock and the final key
Steel versus steel
A thousand souls won't tame the need
It's the steel versus steel
The final lock and the final key - the steelLyrics provided by TANCODEhttp://lyricsever.com/" readonly=""/>

Steel Versus Steel Lyrics

"I was a thousand times more evil than thou"

Drifting away into dreams of despair
Visions of doom and of dead eyes that stare
Will the end be what you thought - will you escape?
Across the plains you rode as you fled
The lord of chaos put a price on your head
And the black blade at your side won't let you rest

To slay became a trade
Your soul will have to pay
The final fate a clash between the blades

And in the end it's steel versus steel
The final lock and the final key
It's the steel versus steel
A thousand souls won't tame the need
Steel versus steel
The final lock and the final key
Steel versus steel

Skin as white as the full moon at night
Eyes that burn like a red fire light
But the body's still as weak as a newborn child
Tried to rule with mercy inside
Ignore tradition and the dragons will rise
The dreaming city falls - lost in time

To slay became a trade
Your soul will have to pay
The final fate a clash between the blades

'Cause in the end it's steel versus steel
The final lock and the final key
It's the steel versus steel
A thousand souls won't tame the need
Steel versus steel
The final lock and the final key
Steel versus steel

A thousand souls won't tame the need
To slay became a trade
You will travel on the seas of fate
The seas of fate - between the blades
The price to pay - the end of time
The final fate a clash between the blades

And in the end it's steel versus steel
The final lock and the final key
Steel versus steel
A thousand souls won't tame the need
Steel versus steel
The final lock and the final key
Steel versus steel
A thousand souls won't tame the need
It's the steel versus steel
The final lock and the final key - the steel

Grand Magus, formed in 1996 in Stockholm, Sweden, are led by Janne Christofferson (better known as JB), who also fronted the mighty Spiritual Beggars. While the Beggars are more in the traditional Deep Purple/Mountain camp of early rock/metal, Grand Magus originally opted for a bluesy, stoner-laced doom vibe, heavy on the early Black Sabbath riffing and tempos, with JB's gruff, forceful vocals blending perfectly with the music. Later albums have leaned more towards the straight up heavy metal of the early 1980s, with frequent up-tempo riffs interspersed with their trademark half-time riffs. JB was nominated 6th best international vocalist in the annual Burrn! Reader’s poll of Japan in 2004.

Bass and backing vocals are done by Mats "Fox" Skinner, a founding member of Grand Magus, who is also bassist in Bajen Death Cult.

Ex-Firewind/Spiritual Beggars drummer Ludwig "Ludde" Witt joined the band in early 2012 to record Magus' sixth studio offering, The Hunt.

Sebastian "Seb" Sippola was the drummer for Grand Magus from April 2006 and left in early 2012, he was also the drummer in Plankton, ex-Fortune, ex-Four Sticks, ex-Southfork, ex-Glenn Hughes.

Fredrik 'Trisse' Liefvendahl played drums from 1996 to 2006.

The band have released six albums to date: a self-titled effort in 2001 (re-released in 2005 as an expanded version with three bonus tracks), Monument (2003), Wolf's Return (2005), Iron Will, released Monday 9th June 2008. In December 2009 Magus signed to Roadrunner Records, with their fifth studio album Hammer of the North being released in June 2010.

On 11th May 2010 the opening track to 'Hammer...', I, The Jury, was released for free on Roadrunner's German website, making the album one of the year's most anticipated metal releases. A month later, the band released a video for the title track.

Their sixth album, The Hunt was released on 25th May 2012 on the Nuclear Blast label. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
