Cold Iron

This one is from a poem by Rudyard Kipling.
It tells the story of a baron who believes iron - for him, representative of brute force - as the metal of man. He tries to revolt against his king by might alone, and is defeated and humiliated.
His king offers him clemency, but the baron refuses, adamant in his belief that might alone makes right.
The king then shows himself to be Jesus Christ, and shows the baron that it is not iron from a blade, but iron "out of Calvary" - that is, the nails from the Cross - that redeems men and gives them actual power.
The baron learns that cold iron is truly master of men all, albeit in a different sense than what he previously thought, and is pardoned by the King.
The singer of this particular version, Leslie Fish, doesn't sing the last line, which I believe is the most important (hence why I added it anyways), but I love this version and couldn't use any other.
The image depicts St. Constantine on the foreground, a man who was used by God to bring triumph to His truth through the sword, and Julian the Apostate on the background being slain by Saints Michael and Mercurius Philopater under orders of Christ, who appears pointing as the Apostate falls from his horse.
If you wish to support Mrs. Fish's work, you can do so through the following link: lesliefish.bandcamp.com
Lyrics, as per the original poem by Rudyard Kipling (last line not sung by Mrs. Leslie Fish):
‘Gold is for the mistress - silver for the maid -
Copper for the craftsman cunning at his trade.’
‘Good!’ said the Baron, sitting in his hall,
‘But Iron - Cold Iron - is master of them all.’
So he made rebellion ’gainst the King his liege,
Camped before his citadel and summoned it to siege.
‘Nay!’ said the cannoneer on the castle wall,
‘But Iron - Cold Iron - shall be master of you all!’
Woe for the Baron and his knights so strong,
When the cruel cannon-balls laid ’em all along;
He was taken prisoner, he was cast in thrall,
And Iron - Cold Iron - was master of it all!
Yet his King spake kindly (ah, how kind a Lord!)
‘What if I release thee now and give thee back thy sword?’
‘Nay!’ said the Baron, ‘mock not at my fall,
For Iron - Cold Iron - is master of men all.’
‘Tears are for the craven, prayers are for the clown -
Halters for the silly neck that cannot keep a crown.’
‘As my loss is grievous, so my hope is small,
For Iron - Cold Iron - must be master of men all!’
Yet his King made answer (few such Kings there be!)
‘Here is Bread and here is Wine - sit and sup with me.
Eat and drink in Mary’s Name, the whiles I do recall
How Iron - Cold Iron - can be master of men all!’
He took the Wine and blessed it. He blessed and brake the Bread.
With His own Hands He served Them, and presently He said:
‘See! These Hands they pierced with nails, outside My city wall,
Show Iron - Cold Iron - to be master of men all.’
‘Wounds are for the desperate, blows are for the strong.
Balm and oil for weary hearts all cut and bruised with wrong.
I forgive thy treason - I redeem thy fall -
For Iron - Cold Iron - must be master of men all!’
‘Crowns are for the valiant - sceptres for the bold!
Thrones and powers for mighty men who dare to take and hold!’
‘Nay!’ said the Baron, kneeling in his hall,
‘But Iron - Cold Iron - is master of men all!
Iron out of Calvary is master of men all!’

    For anyone curious, I asked Leslie about why she removed the final line. It doesn't sound like her intention was to "de-Christianize" the song: "Sure! Up until that last line, the poem is just generally Christian, but the particular phrasing ("Iron out of Calvary", commonly used in a lot of contemporary prayers) of that last line makes it specifically Church of England. I decided to keep it more general, therefore more widely applicable."

    Using Constantine for this is ingenious as he’s perfect to represent the message of this song. Hellenic (Greco-Roman) morality was based purely on might makes right, there was no redemption or forgiveness. Constantine in this case is the cannoneer bringing the Baron (the Roman people and elite) before Christ who has conquered them through him but instead of offering death, as they had offered his followers, he offers forgiveness and redemption.

    @@stantrien8106 You're not wrong in that Free Masonry has devolved into what is essentially a boy's club for old men who want to get away from their nagging wives. This might be the case with certain masonic centres or just with the first levels/degrees of Masonry. However this is a cover image that the higher elements of Free Masonry want to maintain, the 30th to the 32nd degrees are all false degrees simply meant to keep the covers of normalcy that the group wants to maintain in order to keep their operations in goal Freemasonry as a whole is deeply rooted in the occult and this can be seen from their teachings of their doctrines that involve a belief in "The Grand Architect of the Universe" that anyone of any religious background rather they be Christian, Muslim, Jewish or any pagan religion or philosophy system must swear by, 33rd degree freemasons (master masons) have written in letters that this "Grand Architect" is a meaning for Lucifer (Satan) From here the ritualistic tendencies and aspects of Freemasonry is made apparent, these master masons partake in sinister and satanic rituals that involve boybrides and other things which are too shameful to mention here (lest little hat tube censors my comment) Regardless of rather or not you believe me or think what I say is some wacko conspiracy theory stuff. These things still occur and high degree masonic centres still operate in secret with very influential members that fund and take part in said masonic rituals, like that funny guy who had the funny plane and island who definitely didn't game end himself in a cell all by himself

    ​@@Wolffur And you are missing my point, kings use religion as a tool to legitimise themselves and their crimes, justice can be attributed to the loosening of kings authority and power, separation of powers etc. from Magna Carta onwards to modern constitutional monarchy, all can be attributed to kings having the authoritative and once handy excuse of divine right of kings slowly weakened. And how else could I have taken your comment? You essentially said that true kings were as equal under god as their lessers when history tells us the opposite, especially in regards to divine right of kings.

    Prayer to St Joseph Oh, St. Joseph, whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the throne of God. I place in you all my interests and desires. Oh, St. Joseph, do assist me by your powerful intercession, and obtain for me from your divine Son all spiritual blessings, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. So that, having engaged here below your heavenly power, I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of Fathers. Oh, St. Joseph, I never weary of contemplating you, and Jesus asleep in your arms; I dare not approach while He reposes near your heart. Press Him in my name and kiss His fine head for me and ask him to return the Kiss when I draw my dying breath. St. Joseph, Patron of departing souls - Pray for me. This prayer was found in the fifteenth year of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. In 1505 it was sent from the Pope to Emperor Charles when he was going into battle. Whoever shall read this prayer or hear it or keep it about themselves, shall never die a sudden death, or be drowned, not shall poison take effect of them; neither shall they fall into the hands of the enemy; or shall be burned in any fire, or shall be overpowered in battle. Say for nine mornings for anything you may desire. It has never been known to fail, so be sure you really want what you ask.

    No shit, is Leslie Fish! I knew the voice and style immediately as soon as I heard the first lines. She is a unique and impressive musician and singer, with a very strong and distinctive voice, and she does a number of very powerful and stirring songs that you won't forget. This is one of them. I discovered her through her version of "Jefferson and Liberty", which has a much darker and libertarian slant, "Black Powder and Alcohol", a prepper anthem, "Avalon is Fallen", which is a remake of an old shape note hymn, which itself is apparently a setting of an old marching tune going back to the English Civil War. She started out making"filk music" back in the 70s, which is kind of interesting, but not my thing, a blend of folk and sci-fi themes, but she became a pretty extreme libertarian/anarchist something later in life and that's what her best music is themed on. And apparently she is quite active on Quora, I came across the name and said "hey, you have the same name as musician I heard on KZread". Because it was the same person, it turned out.

    Polskie Tłumaczenie: Złoto jest dla pani domu, srebro dla służącej, miedź dla rzemieślnika, sprytnego w swym zawodzie. ,,Dobrze!'' Zawołał Baron, stojąc dumnie na swym dworze, ,,Lecz stal - zimna stal (oręża) - jest panem wszystkich ludzi. Tak więc wzniecił rebelię, przeciwko jego królowi, jego panowi, zebrał armię przed Jego zamkiem i zaczął oblężenie. ,,Nie wygracie!'' zawołali kanonierzy, stojący na murze zamku. ,,Ale sprawimy, że stal - zimna stal - bedzie waszym panem na całe wieki!'' Biada Baronowi i jego silnym rycerzom - okrutne kule armatnie umilczały ich czwórkami. On sam stał się więźniem, został wrzucony do lochu, I stal - zimna stal (kajdan) - stała się jego panem na całe wieki. Jednak jego król przemówił do niego łagodnie - ,,Oh, ukochany Baronie! A co, jeśli ciebie teraz uwolnię i oddam ci twój miecz?'' ,,Nie!'' odrzekł Baron ,,Nie poniżaj bardziej mojego upadku, Gdyż stal - zimna stal - jest panem wszystkich ludzi. Łzy są dla tchórzów, modlitwy dla błaznów, Zasady dla ludzi bez kręgosłupa, którzy nie potrafią wziąć, co ich. Małą mam nadzieję na przebaczenie, gdyż moja wina jest wielka, a stal - zimna stal - jest panem wszystkich ludzi. Jednak jego król odpowiedział - czy ktoś znajdzie drugiego takiego władcę? - ,,Oto chleb, oto wino, usiądź i najedz się do pełna. Jedz i pij w imię Maryi, podczas gdy Ja sie zastanowię, Jaką, stal - zimna stal - może mieć władzę nad wszystkimi ludźmi. Wziął wino i je pobłogosławił, pobłogosławił i złamał chleb, Własnymi rękami go obdarował i prezentując je powiedział: Czy widzisz? Moje ręce zostały przebite poza murami Mojego miasta. Tak stal - zimna stal - pokazała kto jest Panem wszystkich ludzi. Rany są dla zdesperowanych, cierpienie dla silnych, Balsam i olejek dla zmęczonych serc, całe w ranach przez krzywdy bliźnich. Wybaczam ci twoją zdradę, Odpuszczam ci twój upadek. Teraz stal - zimna stal - niech ci przypomina, kto jest Panem wszystkich ludzi. (Baron nadal słyszał szepty:) Korony są dla mężnych, berła dla śmiałych, trony i władza dla silnych ludzi, którzą odważą się wziąć co ich. ,,Nie!'' odpowiedział Baron, klęczac na swym dworze, ,,Lecz stal - zimna stal - pokazuje kto jest Panem wszystkich ludzi!''
