Manowar Manowar living on the road
When we're in town speakers explode
We don't attract wimps cause we're too loud
Just true metal people that's Manowar's crowd
They wanna keep us down
But they can't last
When we get up we're gonna kick your ass
Gonna keep on burnin'
We always will
Other bands play Manowar kill
Other bands play Manowar kill
We like it hard we like it fast
We got the biggest amps man they blast
True metal people wanna rock not pose
Wearin' jeans and leather not cracker jack clothes
They wanna keep us down
But they can't last
When we get up we're gonna kick your ass
Gonna keep on burnin'
We always will
Other bands play Manowar kill
Other bands play Manowar kill
We're the kings of metal comin' to town
When we light up have the roof malled down
Don't try to tell us that we're too loud
Cause there ain't no way that we'll ever turn down
They wanna keep us down
But they can't last
When we get up we're gonna kick your ass
Gonna keep on burnin'
We always will
Other bands play Manowar kill
Black candles slowly burning, white fangs and flashing
eyes
Hell's wind and incantations summon living fire,
Darkest forces and your demon's black order, black king
The cult that serves the living, accept this offering
Black candles slowly burning, white fangs and flashing
eyes
Hell's wind and incantations summon living fire,
As the seven steps await, hear the great bell toll
With a dead man's bones conjure, the enemy of the soul
From the misery and sadness, of the molten seas of hell
Mystic love and mystic symbols in evil dreams there dwell
Darkest forces and your demon's black order, black king
The cult that serves the living, accept this offering
A deadly drink, a meal of hearts, now sacrifice and die
In darkness and destruction, behold the evil eye
And the Demon's whip
Armies of the gods of hell ride across the astral plane
Bearing curses of destruction, sworn beyond the grave
Children of the darkness, all born but to deceive
By the ancient code of evil grant not one reprieve
In the place where evil dwells death can live when all
life dies
Wage eternal war on heaven immortal hate below the sky
Your scripture and your sermons, are leaves borne on
the wind
To heal the unrepentant one needs a greater sin
Night winds, Oblivion see my dark desire
Come forth, appear he is living fire
Feel the Demon's whip
Armies of the gods of hell ride across the astral plane
Bearing curses of destruction, sworn beyond the grave
Children of the darkness, all born but to deceive
By the ancient code of evil grant not one reprieve
In the place where evil dwells death can live when all
life dies
Wage eternal war on heaven immortal hate below the sky
Your scripture and your sermons, are leaves borne on
the wind
To heal the unrepentant one needs a greater sin
Feel the Demon's whip
Grandfather tell me a story
All right go and get your storybook
No no not one of those a real story
A real story?
Yes tell me about when you were a boy
Well then I shall have to take you back
with me a long way in time
I was my thirteenth year on a cold winter's
day as I walk through the enchanted
forest I heard the sound of horses and men
at arms. I felt compelled to walk on and
find the place of these sounds. And when
the forest did clear I was standing on a hill
Before me the armies of the world
standing waiting. I thought to myself for
whom or for what are they waiting?
Suddenly a gust of wind came up from the
north. There appeared a lone rider holding
a sword of steel. Then from the south came
another bearing a battle axe. From the east
came a third holding a spiked club. And
finally from the west a rider who wielded
a great hammer of war. With them came
their soldiers of death followed by an
army of immortals. They were few in number
but the look in their eyes told all who
beheld them that they would leave this day
only in victory or death and there was a
great silence.... My heart began to pound. Storm clouds
filled the sky with darkness. Rain came. And
the four winds blew with such anger that I
held fast to a tree. I watched the four
riders raise their weapons into the air
without warning .Screaming their war cry
they led the attack. Down to the battle they
rode. They met the armies of the world with
a mighty clash. I could feel the ground
shake. The earth drank much blood that
day. Each of the four was unto himself. A
whirlwind of doom
When the smoke did clear many thousands
were dead. There was much blood and gore.
Their bodies lay broken and scattered
across the battlefield like brown leaves
blown by the wind. And I saw the four ride
together to the top of the hill. While below
them the soldiers of death assembled. All
Those who would now swear allegiance
to them.
And the four spoke the words of the
warriors prayer:
Gods of war I call you. My sword
is by my side.
I seek a life of honor, free from
all false pride.
I will crack the whip with a bold
mighty hail.
Cover me with death if I should
ever fail.
Glory,majesty,unity
Hail,Hail,Hail
And as I stood and looked on I heard the
armies of the world hail them without
end and their voices of victory carried
long and far throughout the land
Well that's it. Did you like the story?
Yeah it was great
Oh good. I'm glad. Now off to bed with you
Grandfather?
Yes?
Who were those four men?
Who were they?
They were the metal kings
When you are old enough to read this words
Their meaning will unfold
These words all that's left
And though we've never meet, my only son
I hope you know
That I would have been there to watch you grow
But my call was heard and I did go
Now your mission lies ahead of you
As it did mine so long ago
To help the helpless ones who all look up to you
And to defend them so the end
Defender
Ride like the wind
Fight proud, my son
You're the defender
God has sent
Father,father,father
I look up to you and heed thy call
This letter ends my search
I'll live your dream now passed on to me
And I now wait to shake the hand of fate
Like the dusk awaiting dawn
So wizards cast your spell
With no heart to do me well
So it's written, it shall be
Defender
Ride like the wind
Fight proud, my son
You're the defender
God has sent
From a battle I've come
To a battle I ride
Blazing up to the sky
Chains of fate
Hold a fiery stride
I'll see you again when I die
High and mighty alone we are kings
Whirlwinds of fire we ride
Providence brought us the crown and the ring
Covered with blood and our pride
Heroes await me
My enemies ride fast
Knowing not this ride's their last
Saddle my horse as I drink my last ale
Bow string and steel will prevail
High and mighty alone we are kings
Whirlwinds of fire we ride
Providence brought us the crown and the ring
Covered with blood and our pride
Odin I await thee
Your true son am I
I hail you now as I die
I pledge you my sword and to no man I kneel
Ours is the kingdom of steel
High and mighty alone we are kings
Whirlwinds of fire we ride
Providence brought us the crown and the ring
Covered with blood and our pride
High and mighty alone we are kings
Whirlwinds of fire we ride
Providence brought us the crown and the ring
Covered with blood and our pride
Wrote a letter to the M.T.V.
What's goin' on now
Don't ya care about me
Sent the same letter to the radio,Ha
But my party went dead
Like a shot in the head
We all like it - Rock and Roll
We all want it - On your show
Play it loud, don't play it low
Blow your speakers with Rock and Roll
We got lots of stations
Around the nation
And the stuff they're playing
It just ain't worth my sayin'
People want music to get 'em movin'
We don't want labels
We want music on the table
We all like it - Rock and Roll
We all want it - on your show
Play it loud, don't play it low
Blow your speakers with Rock and Roll
We all like it - Rock and Roll
We want it
We all want it - on your show
Play it loud, don't play it low
Blow your speakers with Rock and Roll
We got lots of stations
Around the nation
And the stuff they're playing
It just ain't worth my sayin'
We all like it - Rock and Roll
We all want it - on your show
Play it loud, don't play it low
Blow your speakers with Rock and Roll
Every one of us has heard the call brothers of
True metal proud and standing tall we know
The power within us has brought us to this hall
there's magic in the metal there's magic is us all.
Heavy metal or no metal at all whips and posers,
Leave the hall, heavy metal or no metal at all
Whips and posers go on get out leave the hall.
Now the world must listen to our decree we
Don't turn down for anyone we do just what we
Please, got to make it louder, all men play on
Ten, if you're not into metal, you are not my friend.
Heavy metal or no metal at all whips and posers,
Leave the hall, heavy metal or no metal at all
Whips and posers I said leave the hall.
Now the world ,ust listen to our decree we
Don't turn down for anyone we do just what we
Please, got to make it louder, all men play on
Ten, if you're not into metal, you are not my friend.
There's metal in the air, tonight can you hear it
Call ? If you ain't got the balls, to take it you can
Leave the hall
Heavy metal or no metal at all whips and posers,
Leave the hall, heavy metal or no metal at all
Whips and posers, leave the hall.
Full moon light is calling me
My kingdom lies within.
The mystic soul and lions heart
Brought by the talisman
The ecstasy of battle takes me
Where the falcons fly.
Immortal youth was granted me
I will never die.
Born of Black wind fire and steel
Born of Black wind fire and steel
Born to teach them all to heel
Born of Black wind fire and steel
Pounded by the hammers
Of the giants of the world
I can see the darkness
I'm the overlord
Single combat I await
My shadow brings them fear.
The spikes upon my chariot
Will grind them when they're near
Born of Black wind fire and steel
Born of Black wind fire and steel
Born to teach them all to heel
Born of Black wind fire and steel
I am an outcast
On the path of no return
Punisher and swordsman
I was born to burn.
Black Wind always follows
Where my black horse rides.
Fire's in my soul
Steel is on my side.
Born of Black wind fire and steel
Born of Black wind fire and steel
Born to teach them all to heel
Born of Black wind fire and steel
I am an outcast
On the path of no return
Punisher and swordsman
I was born to burn.
Black Wind always follows
Where my black horse rides.
Fire's in my soul
Steel is on my side.
Born of Black wind fire and steel
Born of Black wind fire and steel
Born to teach them all to heel
Born of Black wind fire and steel
Brothers I am calling from the valley of the kings
with nothing to atone
A dark march lies ahead together we will ride like
thunder from the sky
May your sword stay wet like a young girl in her
prime
Hold your hammers high
Blood and death are waiting like a raven in the sky
I was born to die
Hear me while I live
As I look into your eyes
None shall hear a lie
Power and dominion are taken by the will
By diving right hail and kill
Hail Hail Hail and Kill,Hail and Kill
Hail Hail Hail and Kill,Hail and Kill
My father was a wolf
I'm a kinsman of the slain
Sworn to rise again
I will bring salvation, punishment and pain
The hammer of hate is our faith
Power and dominion are taken by the will
By diving right hail and kill
Hail Hail Hail and Kill,Hail and Kill
Hail Hail Hail and Kill,Hail and Kill
Rip their flesh
Burn their hearts
Stab them in the eyes
Rape their women as they cry
Kill their servants
Burn their homes
Till there's no blood left to spill
Hail and Kill
Power and dominion are taken by the will
By diving right hail and kill
Hail Hail Hail and Kill,Hail and Kill
Lord of battle I pray on bended knee conquest by
The rising sun I'll wait for thy command with
Flame and blood at hand glory and a broken sword.
I'm the master of the world I have no fear of man
Or beast born inside the soul of the world
Riding hard breaking bone with steel and stone
Eternal might I was born to wield.
Let us drink to the battles we've lived and we've
Fought celebrate the pain and havoc we have
Wrought. Great heroes charge into the fight from
The north to the south in the black of night
The clash of honor calls to stand when
Others fall. Gods of war feel the power of my sword
Drink to the battles we've lived and we've
Fought celebrate the pain and havoc we have
Wrought. Great heroes charge into the fight from
The north to the south in the black of night
Fierce is my blade fierce is my hate born to die in
Battle I laugh at my fate. Now pay in blood when
Your blood has been spilled you're never forgiven,
Death is fulfilled !
The clash of honor calls to stand when others fall
Gods of war feel the power of my sword
The clash of honor calls
I will stand when others fall.
Open magic doors
They will know the power of my sword
There is blood in my hands there is blood in my eyes
With blood in my voice I scream as you die thirsting
For vengeance and mounds of the slain shaking the
Forest onto the plain
Fierce is my blade fierce is my hate born to die in
Battle I laugh at my fate. Now pay in blood when
Your blood has been spilled you're never forgiven,
Death is fulfilled !
The clash of honor calls to stand when
Others fall. Gods of war
Feel the power of my sword
They will know the power of my sword
Ein Feuer brennt
Tausend Meilen weg,
Zeig mir den Weg zum Ziel.
Ich reit' Kometen,
Mein Weg ist lang und schwer,
Schweigen ist die schwerste Last.
Kaempf gegen die Welt,
Nimm alles, was es gibt,
Manchmal verlier auch ich.
Geboren um gegen den Wind zu gehen,
Geboren um zu verlieren,
Wohin ich geh', geh' ich allein.
Schlag' die Schlacht,
Leb wie Du willst.
Ich kenn' keine Not
Und keine Angst vor'm Tod.
Schlag' die Schlacht,
Du hast die Wahl,
Ich hab' ein Herz aus Stahl.
Geh den Weg nur vorwaerts,
Lasse nichts zurueck,
Es gibt nur eine Chance.
Die jetzt lachen und sich freu'n,
Werden es noch seh'n,
Sie werd'n wie Schnee vergeh'n.
Wir werden geh'n als ein starkes Heer,
Sie beugen das Haupt,
Ihr Mut geht dahin.
Dann lachen wir, vorbei die Qual
und seht das Herz aus Stahl,
zu hart fuer euch - zu hart fuer euch.
Schlag' die Schlacht,
Leb wie Du willst.
Ich kenn' keine Not
Und keine Angst vor'm Tod.
Schlag' die Schlacht,
Du hast die Wahl,
Ich hab' ein Herz aus Stahl.
Ich hab' ein Herz aus Stahl.
Schlag' die Schlacht,
Du hast die Wahl,
Ich hab' ein Herz aus Stahl.
Schlag' die Schlacht,
Leb wie Du willst.
Ich kenn' keine Not
Und keine Angst vor'm Tod.
Schlag' die Schlacht,
Du hast die Wahl,
Ich hab' ein Herz aus Stahl.
See the white light
The light within
Be your own disciple
Fan the sparks of will
For all of us waiting
Our kingdom has come
Rays of power shining
Rays of magic fall
On the golden voice that speaks within us all
For all of us waiting
Your kingdom will come
Kingdom come
Fell the white light
The light within
Yea it burns a tire that drives a man to win
For all of us waiting
Your kingdom will come
Kingdom come
Words of power
Calling to us all
Holding us together while other kingdoms fall
No longer waiting
Our kingdom has come
Kingdom come
Kingdom coming
Another kingdom falls
The rightful are waiting
But all are not rightful
Wait and receive the weight of the fall
Kingdom come
In the silence of the darkness when all are fast asleep
I live inside a dream calling to your spirit
As a sail calls the wind, hear the angels sing
Far beyond the sun across the western sky
Reach into the blackness find a silver line
In a voice I whisper a candle in the night
We'll carry all our dreams in a single dream of light
Close your eyes, look into the dream
Wins of change will winds of fortune bring
Fly away to a rainbow in the sky
Gold is at the end for each of us to find
There the road begins where another one will end
Here the four winds Know
Who will break and who will bend
All to be the master of the wind
Falling stars now light my way
My life was written on the wind
Clouds above, clouds below
High ascend the dream within
When the wind fills the sky the clouds will move aside
There will be the road to all our dreams
For any day that stings two better days it brings
Nothing is as bad as it seems
Close your eyes, look into the dream
Wins of change will winds of fortune bring
Fly away to a rainbow in the sky
Gold is at the end for each of us to find
There the road begins where another one will end
Here the four winds Know
Who will break and who will bend
All to be the master of the wind
