| Song | Retribution through the ages |
| Artist | Iced Earth |
| Album | Framing Armageddon (Something wicked Pt.1) |
| 作词 : Schaffer | |
| Time, thousands of years pass by | |
| But with the ancient rites in tact | |
| Man, mankind has multiplied | |
| Spreading worldwide as planned | |
| Kings and their armies preen | |
| Draw lines in the sand | |
| Fight for their so called rights | |
| To God, gold and land | |
| And through the ages we hand them their fate | |
| Marionettes on a string | |
| Phased retribution precise and exact | |
| 'Til the birth of the one sets us free | |
| Blood, earth mothers soaked in blood | |
| Spilled from the warring clans of man | |
| Greed will serve to feed unrest | |
| Antagonized within by our hand | |
| Pain, death and pestilence | |
| Will shake human faith | |
| Creeds serving heresy | |
| A crutch for man's flawed way | |
| And through the ages we hand them their fate | |
| Marionettes on a string | |
| Phased retribution precise and exact | |
| 'Til the birth of the one sets us free | |
