Lyrics:

[Verse 1]

Across the sands the promise came,
A flame that time could never tame,
A whisper born from realms above,
A vow of mercy wrapped in love.
To Abraham the heavens cried,
A spark of glory magnified,
A covenant no darkness steals,
A word unbroken — truth that heals.

[Pre-Chorus]

“Through your seed the nations shall be blessed,"
A holy oath no force on earth can suppress.

[Chorus]

The Covenant of Steel!
Forged in the heart of the Most High.
The Covenant of Steel!
Bound by the voice that split the sky.
Through every age His truth revealed,
A promise strong as tempered steel—
Unbroken still, His word is real…
Behold the Covenant of Steel!

[Verse 2]

On Sinai’s peak the thunder roared,
The mountain shook before the Lord.
Fire crowned the sky with blazing gold,
The Law descended, pure and bold.
To Moses came the guiding flame,
A sacred path, a holy claim,
A light to lead the faithful on,
A torch that burns when hope seems gone.

[Pre-Chorus]

A path of life for humankind,
A truth eternal in the heart and mind.

[Chorus]

The Covenant of Steel!
Forged in the heart of the Most High.
The Covenant of Steel!
Bound by the voice that split the sky.
Through every age His truth revealed,
A promise strong as tempered steel—
Unbroken still, His word is real…
Behold the Covenant of Steel!

[Bridge]

Through desert nights and kingdom’s rise,
His oath stands firm beneath the skies.
No throne, no power, no earthly reign
Can break the promise He ordained.
The world may fade, the stars may fall,
But still His covenant stands tall.
Across the ages, through the flame,
His voice resounds — forever the same.

[Final]

The Covenant of Steel!
Still blazing through the centuries.
The Covenant of Steel!
A flame that sets our spirits free.
Through darkest nights His truth concealed,
Yet never lost, never repealed—
A promise time can never steal…
Behold the Covenant of Steel!

[Final Chorus]

The Covenant of Steel!
Still blazing through the centuries.
The Covenant of Steel!
A flame that sets our spirits free.
Through every trial our hearts are healed,
For we are held by tempered steel—
Eternal vow, forever sealed…
Behold the Covenant of Steel!
