DIE FOR METAL

HISTORY

Manowar born in Auburn, New York, which formed in 1980. They are known for writing lyrics with an emphasis on fantasy and mythologic topics.

Joey DeMaio was working as a bass tech / pyrotechnic for Black Sabbath when he met with guitarist Ross the Boss, playing for a group called Shakin Street, a Black Sabbath support band. They later recruited Eric Adams for vocals and Donny Hamzik for the drums, to create Manowar — a band with an unusual epic sound. Manowar recorded Battle Hymns, their debut album, which featured "Dark Avenger", a slow epic track with narration by Orson Welles. (Welles returned on the Into Glory Ride album and did the narration on another slow track called "Defender". This song was later reworked for the band's Fighting the World album.)
Drummer Scott Columbus joined the band for their second album, Into Glory Ride. Their official biography states that custom stainless steel drum kits had to be built for him because his drumming technique was so "vicious" that it ruined standard kits. Custom equipment was built for the band by John "Dawk" Stillwell, which helped achieve the massive sound.
The band prevailingly performs in and around Europe, South America (especially Argentina and Brazil) and Japan.
The band is also notable for its ownership of their entire operation. Record recording and distribution, as well as merchandise, are all controlled by the band. Singer Eric Adams has said that the reason for this is that the band has received unfair treatment financially in the past, and also to ensure the highest quality production. The band's label, Magic Circle Music, includes other bands such as Rhapsody of Fire.
Their latest album is Gods of War, for other albums, see the discography.

GODS OF WAR

OVERTURE TO THE HYMN OF THE INMORTAL WARRIORS

THE ASCENCION

POWERS OF THE UNIVERSE DID SIRE A SON.
HE WAS BAPTIZED BY FIRE, WATER,
EARTH, AND SKY.
FROM DARKNESS HE ROSE UP IN TRIUMPH
TO ASCEND THE THRONE OF LIGHT,
AND HE ALONE SHALL FOREVER BE KNOWN
AS THE KING OF KINGS.

I ENTER THIS WORLD
BORN UNDER A SIGN
OF INFINITE LIGHT

AND HERE I SHALL DWELL
I NOW UNDERSTAND
ALL THAT I AM

SHALL LIVE IN THY COMMAND!

KING OF KINGS

VOICES OF VICTORY ALL SHOUT AND PROCLAIM
THE KINGDOM OF GLORY IS MINE
THE RAYS OF THE WILL ARE A PROPHECY FILLED
I’M THE LORD OF THE DAY AND THE NIGHT

I’VE NOTHING TO SELL BUT THE POWER OF HELL
MY ARMIES OF FIRE AWAIT
I’M HERE TO BE PAID FOR THE PACT THAT WAS MADE
MY PAYMENT CAN NEVER BE LATE

CRACK THE EARTH GODS OF THUNDER
MAN AND BEAST WILL BE TORN ASUNDER
INTO THE FIGHT I OWN THE RIGHT
TO BE THE KING OF KINGS

MY ENEMIES RISE AND LOOK TO THE SKIES
THEY PRAY I WILL NEVER APPEAR
THEIR LIFE HAS NO MEANING, AWAKE THEY ARE DREAMING
THEY LIVE IN A CASTLE OF FEAR

I SUMMON THE DEMONS THAT LIVE IN THE WIND
AS MY CHARIOT DRIVES IN THE STORM
WITH THE HOT BLOOD OF BATTLE
I WAIT IN MY SADDLE, I LIVE AND I’LL DIE BY THE SWORD

CRACK THE EARTH GODS OF THUNDER
MAN AND BEAST WILL BE TORN ASUNDER
INTO THE FIGHT I OWN THE RIGHT
TO BE THE KING OF KINGS

ALL THE DAYS OF HIS LIFE HE WALKED WITHOUT FEAR.
ALL WHOSE LIVES HE TOUCHED WERE MADE BETTER FOR
KNOWING HIM. AS HE RETURNED GOODNESS WITH GOOD,
SO TOO HIS JUSTICE AND RETRIBUTION WERE UNFAILING.
AS MY SWORD IS MY SOUL
THEN LET ALL WHO STAND BEFORE ME KNOW
I BRING A STORM AND MAGIC WIND
THE KINGDOM OF THE KINGS (NARRATION)

I SUMMON THE DEMONS THAT LIVE IN THE WIND
AS MY CHARIOT DRIVES IN THE STORM
WITH THE HOT BLOOD OF BATTLE
I WAIT IN THE SADDLE, I LIVE AND I’LL DIE BY THE SWORD

CRACK THE EARTH GODS OF THUNDER
MAN AND BEAST WILL BE TORN ASUNDER
INTO THE FIGHT I OWN THE RIGHT
TO BE THE KING OF KINGS

ARMY OF THE DEAD, PART I

FOR THEY SHALL TAKE THEE HOME

I PROMISE THEE THAT ON THIS NIGHT

OVERTURE TO ODIN

THE BLOOD OF ODIN

UPON HIS SHOULDERS PERCH TWO RAVENS, HUGINN AND MUNINN. THEY CIRCLE THE EARTH BY
DAY SEEING ALL, AT NIGHT THEY REPORT TO HIM THE WORLD’S TIDINGS. HE WEARS A GOLDEN
HELMET AND A GOLDEN RING, AT HIS SIDE SIT TWO WOLVES. HIS WEAPONS A MAGIC SWORD
AND A SPEAR CALLED GUNGNIR, THEY ARE CARVED WITH RUNES. HIS EIGHT LEGGED HORSE SLEIPNIR
CARRIES HIM OVER LAND SEA AND AIR, THE BRINGER OF THE VALIANT DEAD, THE EINHERJAR, FROM
THE BATTLEFIELD ACROSS THE RAINBOW BRIDGE TO VALHALLA.

FOR A SINGLE DRINK OF THE ENCHANTED WATER HE PAID WITH ONE EYE, HE WAS GRANTED
SUPREME WISDOM. HE IS THE GOD OF POETRY, SORCERY, AND DEATH. WOUNDED, PIERCED BY
A SPEAR HE HUNG UPSIDE DOWN FOR NINE DAYS. FASTING AND AGONY HE MADE OF HIMSELF
A SACRIFICE TO HIMSELF. GIVEN NO BREAD NOR MEAD HE LOOKED DOWN, AND WITH A LOUD
CRY FELL SCREAMING FROM THE WORLD TREE. IN A FLASH OF INSIGHT THE SECRET MAGIC OF THE
RUNES WAS REVEALED TO HIM. HE TOOK UP THE RUNES AND MASTERED THEM, EIGHTEEN POWERFUL
CHARMS FOR PROTECTION, SUCCESS IN BATTLE, LOVEMAKING, HEALING AND THE POWER TO BRING
BACK THE DEAD.

HIS SACRED BLOOD MIXED WITH BLACK WIND AND RAIN WEPT DOWN FROM THE WORLD TREE
DEEP INTO THE EARTH. HE COMMANDED THE EARTH TO CRACK OPEN AND TO SPEW FORTH THE
STRONGEST OF THE STRONG!

ON THIS DAY HE DID BESTOW UNTO THE WORLD THE SONS OF ODIN!

THE SONS OF ODIN

NEAR TO THE BLAZE I WANDER
THROUGH THIS BLACK NIGHT I PONDER
THE EDGE OF OUR MIGHTY SWORDS DID CLASH
FALLEN BY OUR AXES HELMETS SMASHED

GLORY AND FAME BLOOD IS OUR NAME
SOULS FULL OF THUNDER HEARTS OF STEEL
KILLERS OF MEN A WARRIOR’S FRIEND
SWORN TO AVENGE OUR FALLEN BROTHERS
TO THE END

ONE DAY TOO I MAY FALL
I WILL ENTER ODIN’S HALL
I WILL DIE SWORD IN HAND
MY NAME AND MY DEEDS
WILL SCORCH THE LAND

GLORY AND FAME BLOOD IS OUR NAME
SOULS FULL OF THUNDER HEARTS OF STEEL
KILLERS OF MEN A WARRIOR’S FRIEND
SWORN TO AVENGE OUR FALLEN BROTHERS

SONS OF THE GODS TODAY WE SHALL DIE
OPEN VALHALLA’S DOOR
LET THE BATTLE BEGIN
WITH SWORDS IN THE WIND
HAIL GODS OF WAR!

SONS OF ODIN WE FOUR
BY THE HAMMER OF THOR
RIDE DOWN FROM THE SKY
ANOTHER IS BORN ANOTHER SHALL FALL
THIS DAY MEN WILL DIE

GLORY AND FAME BLOOD IS OUR NAME
SOULS FULL OF THUNDER HEARTS OF STEEL
KILLERS OF MEN A WARRIOR’S FRIEND
SWORN TO AVENGE OUR FALLEN BROTHERS

SONS OF THE GODS TODAY WE SHALL DIE
OPEN VALHALLA’S DOOR
LET THE BATTLE BEGIN
WITH SWORDS IN THE WIND
HAIL GODS OF WAR!

SONS OF THE GODS TODAY WE SHALL DIE
OPEN VALHALLA’S DOOR
LET THE BATTLE BEGIN
WITH SWORDS IN THE WIND
HAIL GODS OF WAR!

LET THE BATTLE BEGIN
WITH SWORDS IN THE WIND
HAIL GODS OF WAR!

ONWARD INTO THE HEART OF THE BATTLE FOUGHT THE
SONS OF ODIN. OUTNUMBERED MANY TIMES, STILL THEY
FOUGHT ON. BLOOD POURED FORTH FROM THEIR
WOUNDS DEEP INTO THE EARTH, VULTURES WAITED FOR
THE BROKEN SHELLS THAT ONCE WERE BODIES. BUT ODIN
ALONE WOULD CHOOSE THE DAY THEY WOULD ENTER
VALHALLA, AND IN THEIR HOUR OF NEED
HE SENT FORTH UNTO THEM THE BERSERKER RAGE!

NOW GODS AND MEN THEY ROSE UP FROM THE GROUND
SCREAMING LIKE WILD ANIMALS,
SUCH IS THE GIFT OF ABSOLUTE POWER! NO BLADE OR
WEAPON COULD HARM THEM; THEY KILLED MEN AND
HORSES ALIKE, AND ALL WHO STOOD BEFORE THEM
DIED THAT DAY!

HAIL GODS OF WAR!




GLORY MAJESTY UNITY

DEEP INTO THE HEART OF THE BATTLE THEY FOUGHT. COVERED ON
ALL SIDES AS ALL CONVERGED ON THEM, UNTIL THE FOUR COULD
NO LONGER BE SEEN. AS TIME PASSED I FEARED THEM LOST, THEN
SLOWLY THE ARMIES SEPARATED, MANY WERE DEAD. I SAW THE FOUR
EACH DOWN ON ONE KNEE, ALL STOPPED TO WATCH AND GAZE
UPON THEM WITH A SMILE OF VICTORY BEFORE SENDING THEM INTO
THE GROUND
.
THEN THEY ROSE TOGETHER TO MAKE A FINAL STAND. WITH THEIR
LAST BIT OF STRENGTH THEY RAISED THEIR ARMS INTO THE AIR POINTING
BLOOD STAINED WEAPONS TO THE SKY. THEY CALLED UPON THE GOD
OF WAR AND MADE READY TO DIE. BUT ODIN WOULD NOT CALL
THEM THIS DAY TO VALHALLA, INSTEAD HE SENT THUNDER AND
LIGHTNING TO STRIKE THE GROUND, BESTOWING UPON THEM THE
ONE GIFT EVERY WARRIOR LIVES IN HOPE OF – THE BERSERKER RAGE!

NOW FILLED WITH THAT STRENGTH, THE POWER OF A THOUSAND
MEN WAS GIVEN THEM. NO LONGER MORTAL THEY WERE TOUCHED
BY THE GODS. THIS TIME WHEN THEY TOOK UP THE ATTACK, MEN FELL
NOT BY TENS, BUT BY HUNDREDS, BY THOUSANDS. AND WHEN THE
SMOKE DID CLEAR, THE FOUR SPOKE THE WORDS AND THE MASSES
ANSWERED THE RESPONSE OF THE WARRIOR’S 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!

THE TRIUMPH OF STEEL

"Achilles, Agony and Ecstasy in Eight Parts"

Prelude

i) Hector Storms The Wall

See my chariot run to your ships I'll drive you back to the sea
You came her for gold the wall will not hold
This day was promised to me
The gods are my shield lightning and javelins fly
Soon many will fall we are storming the wall
Stones fall snow from the sky

We will pay with our glory in the fire of battle
Zeus today is mine
Killing all in my way like sheep and like cattle
smashing skulls of all who defy
I spare not the hammer I spare not the sword
This day will ring with my name
None have to chase me let he who will face me
Kill me or die by the sword

ii) The Death Of Patroclus

Oh friend of mine, how to say goodbye
This was your time, but the armor you wore was mine
I will not rest until Hector's blood is spilled
His bones will all be broken dragged across the field
This dear friend is how we'll say goodbye
until we meet in the sky

iii) Funeral March

iv) Armor Of The Gods

v) Hector's Final Hour


Here inside the walls of Troy, the gods weigh my fate
From this bay do I abstain, to a memory of hate
To pay for all the blood that spilled the many thousands i did kill
No walls can contain the gods' almighty will

I hear the silent voices I cannot hide
The gods leave no choices so we all must die
Oh Achilles let thy arrows fly, into the wind, where eagles cross
the sky
Today my mortal blood will mix with sand it was foretold
I will die by thy hand into Hades my soul descend

vi) Death Hector's Reward

Cowards in the grip of fear, no valor to uphold
Cut into the earth, with honor long been sold
For all shall come to know me as they fall unto their knees
Zeus the Thunderer, control my destiny
When the cards of life were bealt my hand a ruthless fate
To avenge, and bringeth fury, Hector feel my hate
A bloodbath I was born to bring, by birth I'm an assassin
To cut the cord of life and death ties to earth unfasten

Blood and fire death and hate, your body I will desecrate
Dogs and vultures eat your flesh the Hall of Hades waits
Kill...

Hector's blood lies on the battlefield his body's mangled wounds
The gods who once protected him are now his gods of doom,
Like a tower standing tall, steadfast in direction
I fall upon you bringing death, the gods give no protection

Coward in the grip of fear, no valor to uphold
Cut into the earth, with honor long been sold
For all shall come to know me, as they fall unto their knees
Zeus the Thunderer, control my destiny

Blood and fire death and hate, your body I will desecrate
Dogs and vultures eat your flesh the Hall of Hades waits
Die...

vii) The Desecration Of Hector's Body

viii) The Glory Of Achilles

The oath of the gods, this day was fulfilled
In the heat of the battle, Hector was killed
See him Patroclus, down in the dust
Rejoice in his death my symbol of trust

A dozen highborn youths, have been killed
Cutting their throats their blood was all spilled
Their bodies set at the foot of your fire
With oxen, sheep and two of your hounds

Your funeral Pyre high off the ground
Hector's body dragged three times around
I will carry the torch to your funeral pyre
I will ask of the wind to send high your fire

Hector's blood will not be washed from my body
Until your body is burned
A prophecy spoken a promise fulfilled
More blood will be spilled, more will be killed.

"Metal Warriors (Brothers Of Metal Part Two)"

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 whimps and posers leave the hall
Heavy metal or no metal at all whimps 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 whimps and posers leave the hall
Heavy metal or no metal at all whimps and posers I said
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

There's metal in the air tonite, 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 whimps and posers leave the hall
Heavy metal or no metal at all whimps and posers leave the hall

"Ride The Dragon"

Demon's blood and dragon fire, falling on my wings
Racing to the battle in the sky
Ancient gods are calling me I hear them when they sing
Of all the heores who wait for me to die

Beneath the cloak of magic, I'll meet them in the air
I am invisible, I move without a sound
They look but cannot find me, they think that I'm not there
With a spell I send them crashing to the ground

Wait for me dragon, we'll meet in the sky by fire and magic I am
sworn
Hell is calling! We cannot be denied fly to the blackness of the
storm
We must die to be reborn

I wear a sacred talisman, I make a secret sign
Now welcome me into this wicked wind
On the journey of a shaman a dragon I must ride
The gates of hell are open! Let me in!

Rule in hell or serve in heaven choose an altar or throne
All Commandments and the laws of man disown
Now eat the fruit of knowledge unto no one ye atone
Into the fire with your soul!

Wait for me dragon, we'll meet in the sky by fire and magic I am
sworn
Hell is calling! We cannot be denied fly to the blackness of the
storm
We must die to be reborn

Demon's blood and dragon fire, falling on my wings
Racing to the battle in the sky
Ancient gods are calling me I hear them when they sing
Of all the heores who wait for me to die

Beneath the cloak of magic, I'll meet them in the air
I am invisible, I move without a sound
They look but cannot find me, they think that I'm not there
With a spell I send them crashing to the ground

Wait for me dragon, we'll meet in the sky by fire and magic I am
sworn
Hell is calling! We cannot be denied fly to the blackness of the
storm
We must die to be reborn

"Spirit Horse Of The Cherokee"

The trail of tears began for all the Cherokee
The white men came to trade & borrow but then they would not
leave
Some of us were taken by boat, and died at sea
Those of us who lived were sold to slavery

We welcomed them as brothers knowing nothing of their greed
Born hunters not the hunted as the white man hunts for me
We are descendants of the animals we live among the free
Our trail of tears would end one day at Wounded Knee.

Great Spirit, thunder birds fly, we are wild and free
To fight and die by the open sky, Spirit Horse ride for me

When we do the Ghost Dance, the buffalo will return
Paint ourselves for war, now blood and fire burn
Great Spirit makes us strong, take us to the sky
The Cherokee are brave, we are not afraid to die

Great Spirit, thunder birds fly, we are wild and free
To fight and die by the open sky, Spirit Horse ride for me

Red Cloud, Black Hawk, Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse, Geronimo
Strong and brave warriors to the grave

There has been much killing there will be much more
The Medicine Man is dancing he's calling us to war,
Hatchets sing with pride let the white men die

Great Spirit, thunder birds fly, we are wild and free
To fight and die by the open sky, Spirit Horse ride for me

"Burning"

We have come from the ashes of the burning away
Pouring blood in the fire on the altar of pain
Led into temptation, now the black gods align
Here there is no salvation and your blood is my wine.

Here's a world that is waiting between the living and the dead
Here the flesh and its pleasure are eternally wed
All is all for the taking for a life of a lie
At the end of the breaking I'll be watching you die.

Crawl to the silence renounce and deny,
The stars and the numbers foretold of this time,
To the words and the wisdom too the promise of lies
By their anger and fury the strong will survive.

"The Power Of Thy Sword"

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
The 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

"The Demon's Whip"

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 born 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

"Master Of The Wind"

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
Winds 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
And 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

KINGS OF METAL

"Wheels Of Fire"

Since the dawn of time
I've rolled across the earth
Spinning in the dust
Long before your birth
Eating tar and gasoline
Every light I see is green
Open pipes, my machine's triple-plated chrome

Spirit of the wheel

Wheels of fire burn the night
Ride across the sky
Wheels of fire burning bright
We live to ride

Motors running
Now you're gonna learn
Waiting on the line
Make your tires burn
Fast, faster, faster, faster
Speeding always kills
Nothing else takes us to get these thrills

Spirit of the wheel

Wheels of fire burn the night
Ride across the sky
Wheels of fire burning bright
We live to ride

Blood and thunder on the road
My heart is pounding
My blood is nitroglycerine
I'm fire
Burning, burning, burning, burning
Ready to explode
Don't want nothing left of me to scrape off the road

Spirit of the wheel

Wheels of fire burn the night
Ride across the sky
Wheels of fire burning bright
We live to ride

Clouds of smoke
Tires screaming
Fire in my hair
Blown into a thousand pieces
Scattered everywhere
Fast, burn, burning, faster
Wanna take a ride
Spirit of the wheel
Wheels of fire ride

Spirit of the wheel

Wheels of fire burn the night
Ride across the sky
Wheels of fire burning bright
We live to ride

"Kings Of Metal"

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 commin' to town
When we light up, have the roof nailed 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

"Heart Of Steel"

Build a fire a thousand miles away
to light my long way home
I ride a comet
My trail is long to stay
Silence is a heavy stone
I fight the world and take all they can give
There are times my heart hangs low
Born to walk against the wind
Born to hear my name
No matter where I stand I'm alone

Stand and fight
Live by your heart
Always one more try
I'm not afraid to die
Stand and fight
Say what you feel
Born with a heart of steel

Burn the bridge behind you
Leave no retreat
There's only one way home
Those who laugh and crowd the path
and cut each other's throats
Will fall like melting snow
They'll watch us rise with fire in our eyes
They'll bow their heads
Their hearts will hang low
Then we'll laugh and they will kneel
and know this heart of steel was
Too hard to break
Too hard to hold

Stand and fight
Live by your heart
Always one more try
I'm not afraid to die
Stand and fight
Say what you feel
Born with a heart of steel

"The Crown And The Ring" (Lament Of The Kings)

From a battle I've come
To a battle I ride
Blazing up to the sky
Chains of fate
Hold a firey 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


"Kingdom Come"

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 shinning
Rays of magic fall
On the golden voice that speaks within us all
For all of us waiting
Your kingdom will come

Kingdom Come

Feel the white light
The light within
Yea it burns a fire 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 comming
Another kingdom falls
The rightful are waiting
But all are not rightful
Wait and receive the weight of the fall

Kingdom Come

"Pleasure Slave"

She is waiting to kiss my hand
But she will wait for my command
My chains and collar brought her to her knees
She now is free to please

Woman, be my slave
That's your reason to live
Woman, be my slave
The greatest gift I can give
Woman, be my slave

Before her surrender she had no life
Now she's a slave, not a wife
Her only sorrow is for women who live with lies
She's taken off her disguise

Woman, be my slave
That's your reason to live
Woman, be my slave
The greatest gift I can give
Woman, be my slave

Your body belongs to me

Woman, come here
Remove your garments
Kneel before me
Please me

Woman, be my slave
That's your reason to live
Woman, be my slave
The greatest gift I can give
Woman, be my slave

"Hail & Kill"

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 divine 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 divine 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 divine right hail and kill

Hail, Hail, Hail and Kill, Hail and Kill


"The Warriors Prayer"

Grandfather, tell my a story!
Alright, 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...

"It was my thirteenth year on a cold winter's
day, as I walked 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 worlds
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 ax, from the east
came a third holding a spiked club, and
finally from the west, a rider who weilded
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
Warrior's Prayer.

GODS OF WAR I CALL YOU, MY SWORD
IS BY MY SIDE.
I SEEK A LIFE OF HONR, 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 citory 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!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Violence And Bloodshed"

Civilization crumblin' fast
End the world with a blast
People afraid walking the streets
Scums have their day
'Til they run into me

Are you ready?

Livin' in fear ain't livin' to me
I'am armed with a gun defending the free
They blew it in Nam shot up my friends
I'm back in the streets the fight never ends

I was born with a gun in my hand
I'll die for my country
But I'll die like a man
Violence and Bloodsheed
Violence and Bloodsheed

The payback's a bitch and I'm paying all
All my life I been waitin'to see
Who's gonna win crumbs or me

My brother's still in Da-Nang
Puttin'an ad in the back of Kerrang
I'm looking for people who just wanna kill
We'll go back the Nam cause no one else will

Now that's how it is
And that's how it stays

As it did mine so long ago
To help the helpless ones who all look up to you
And to defend them to the end

Defender

Fight proud, my son
You're the defender

Father,father,father
I look up to you and heed thy call

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

Fight proud, my son
You're the defender

"Black Wind, Fire And Steel"

Full moon light is calling me
My kigndom 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 in 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

HAIL TO ENGLAND

"Blood Of My Enemies"

Three sons have I, and they
Ride by my side. - The fierce,
The black, and the wicked are
their names - we ride down my
enemies on their half-hearted flight.
No voice of mercy - no evangels of light.

Mighty messengers - heathens rage
Witness our coming - gods of the dead.
I ride through the air -
I laugh as I die - with powers of evil
Dark knowledge is mine.
The ride of the wicked.
The 1st sin was trust. -
Kill without warning - for blood now
I lust.

Strong winds - magic mist
To Asgard the Valkries fly
High overhead - they carry the dead
Where the blood of my enemy lies.

"Each Dawn I Die"

Passing through the storm
Led by demons - walk between the
World of men and gods
Cast no shadows - draw no light.
I rape the priestess on pagans night.

I taste the serpents poison
On the lips of the one I love.
She brings this gift of witchcraft.
I wear the cat-skin gloves.

Apples of youth when I wrought
Mischief, hung in a tree to rot
In the sun.
Reborn in the middle of the
Final orgy - a gift of slavery
To the chosen one.

Suicide Suicide don't you know
Me - call to the Master - he will Come.
He will bring our Resurrection - cloacked in darkness
He has won.

Smoke of my sacrifice.
Journey to the Isle of the Blessed.
Grant my soul your glory.
At night time - I'm your guest.
Only I know why

Each dawn I die.
Smoke of my sacrifice.
Journey to the Isle of the Blessed.
Grant my soul your glory. At night time

"Kill With Power"

Hear what's written on the wind.
We come to kill and kill again.
Our arrows fall like hail
Trample on the dead. Ride through the
Gate of clouds stand on the open step.

Run beserk - spreading fear and pain.
Black shield and weapons, black our chain.
None can harm us - not their fire
Iron or steel - for we have the
Will to power - with power we will Kill.

Kill with power - die die
Kill with power - die die

To the war god Odin you will pray.
And the curse of weapons shall
Remain. On the blood of all our
Fathers - on their weapons we now
Swear to avenge - not lament.
Give the False ones death.

Kill with power - die die
Kill with power - die die

"Hail To England"

Raise sails head for the open sea.
With sails full of wind - our hearts
Overflow with belief.

We sail, with our steel.
We Bring what was lost.
If Lives are the cost, let it be.

Strong she stands - reaching her
Hand. Brave and grand. On English
Ground - we were born. Proudly
We return. - To English shore

Hail, hail to England
Hail, hail, hail.

We march from the hills
Down to London Town.
Join Raise your hand - or hide
When we ride for the crown.

The sign of the hammer and
The black winds blow through
The night. Long was our wait
Our meeting with Fate is tonight.

Strong she stands - reaching her
Hand. Brave and grand. On English
Ground - we were born. Proudly
We return. - To English shore

Hail, hail to England
Hail, hail, hail.

of this day. As we raise our hands
we proudly say.

Hail, hail to England
Hail, hail, hail.

"Army Of The Immortals"

Battle hymns did sound the call.
You came to our side.
You heard true metal - into glory Ride.

You stood beside us the false ones Cried.
Your love is judgement.
You gave us life.

Through the snow. We give you
Our blood. We want you to know.
In our eyes your're immortal
In our hearts you'll live forever
In our eyes your're immortal
In our hearts you'll live forever.

To play the loudest metal.
So hard and so wild and mean.
You'll live forever we were
Born from your belief.

Metal makes us strong
Together we belong - forever

To know.

"Bridge Of Death"

Slowly crossing as the river runs below
Never stopping for what's waiting soon will show
And this the last time looking back I'll see
My home for he awaits me reaching for my soul.
He calls my name, and waves me on
The fallen one he stands in flame

Well the life that he has given full of riches
And sucess has a price that I made good in
Blood to pay. And the light he now is showing
To guide my every footstep is insurance if
I falter on my way. And what God has now
Forsaken and man has never seen are the
Riches of the underworld below all my

Years of earthly pleasures gave support
Unto the bridge I now cross it giving
Him my soul

Dark Lord, I summon thee demanding the
Sacred right to burn in hell, ride up on hells
hot wind. Face one more evil than thou, take
My lustful soul,
Drink my blood as I drink yours, impale
me on the horns of death
Cut off my head release all my evil Lucifer is king
Praise Satan.

I Know the one who waits Satan
Is his name across the bridge of death
There he stands in flame.
I Know the one who waits Satan
Is his name across the bridge of death
There he stands in flame.

He is my provider as i walk into the
Void for eternity I give him my soul.
I shall do his bidding obe him
Without question even walk among the living if
I´m told

Satan don´t forsake me i wait for
You take me grant me wings and as
Your messenger I´ll fly.

SING OF THE HAMMER

"All Men Play On Ten"

I made a rock'n'roll sin
When I tried givin in to
make money had to turn down low.
They said, "why be proud, don't play so loud,
be like us and get a sound that's real thin.
Wear a polyester suit, act happy look cute,
get a haircut and buy small gear"
That's when I turned to them and said,
"hold it, right there!"

Well it's more to me than just a job,
and while I'm playin' you won't get robbed.
Nobody tells a man how to play,
It just ain't that way hey, hey, hey,
can you hear me say...

All men play on ten,
never gonna turn down again.
All men play on ten,
never gonna turn down.

I'm jet fuel honey, plug me into 220
Step back and let my fingers fly
While I'm burning up my gear
There's a fire in your ear
That won't stop until the day you die.

I really put it to the floor when I hear the crowd roar
Oh it's music to my ears when they scream
Then I run back to the power rack
and deck all of my gear.

Well it's more to me than just a job,
and while I'm playin' you won't get robbed.
Nobody tells a man how to play,
It just ain't that way hey, hey, hey,
can you hear me say...

"Animals"

Hear the call of the wild in us all
It waits for the night to fall
I'm getting hot, I'm ready for the night
No holding back, let's
I'm gonna give all you can take all night
And leave you in the morning feeling right

I'm an animal, there's an animal in me
Gonna set it free
I'm an animal, there's an animal in me
Gonna set it free

I've been looking, you've been watching from the side
Tere's somethings you just can't hide
Oh, you're getting wet, you're working up a sweat
Your hair's standing up on end
Your skin is screaming, glad we met?
Tonight's one night you won't forget

"Thor (The Powerhead)"

Black clouds on the horizon
Great thunder and burning rain
His chariot pounding,
I heard the heavens scream his name

I watched as he shouted
To the giants that died that day
He hehd up his hammer high
And called to Odin for a sign

Thor the mighty, Thor the brave
Crush the infidels in your way
By your hammer let none be saved
Live to die on that final day
Gods, Monsters and Men
We'll die together in the end

God of thunder, god of rain
Earth shaker who feels no pain
The powerhead of the Universe
Now send your never ending curse

Swing your hammer to crack the sky
Lift your cape so that you might fly
Back to Odin and the Gods on High
And leave this mortal world

"Mountains"

So tall, silent against the sky
Up through the clouds where eagles fly
Wind and rain beat down on one so strong
They cut but never change, what stood so long

Tall as a mountain, I'm gonna tear through the sky
Life's for the taking

Like a man is a mountainside
Greatness waits for those who try
None can teach you, it's all inside
Just climb

I am in the ground, I am in the air
I am all, I live in the hearts of men
I am the call to greatness
Not all can hear

I awaken the creator in those who dare
And the day will come, when we all must die
And enter the mountainside

I have no fear
Death and Glory
Both draw near

"Sign Of The Hammer"

The spell has been broken,
the curse has been lifted
Black is the wind on the heels
Of the Gifted
Four sworn to vengeance,
See the hate in our eyes
Called by the Gods, and given a sign

Onward pounding Into Glory Ride
Sign of the Hammer be my guide
Final warning all stand aside
Sign of the Hammer it's my time

Pounding, pounding, we are back from the dead
those who denied us are delivered instead
Into the hands of Four sworn to ride
Now the people will triumph and live by the sign

"The Oath"

Burning embers of the second death will come in the night
Priests and kings, the alpha and omega, poison bites
False prophets and deceivers swing from the trees
Now dawn the age of birds
Drunk with blood, like lepers with disease
Lord of the sky Mercury the guide
Lord of the underworld, I swear the sacred rite
I will crucify, slay them with their tribe
Hear my war cry
They'll find no sanctuary hidden in their ancestral halls
Let loose the knot that binds the spirit and flesh
Let it fall
For only courage and heroism linger after death
So, hold fast thy sword, rejecting pain, feel the dragons
Breath

I've sworn the oath
I've sworn the oath
I've sworn the oath

Lord of the sky Mercury the guide
Lord of the underworld, I swear the sacred rite
I will crucify, slay them with their tribe
Hear my war cry

Burning embers of the second death will come in the night
Priests and kings, the alpha and omega, poison bites
False prophets and deceivers swing from the trees
Now dawn the age of birds
Drunk with blood, like lepers with disease
Lord of the sky Mercury the guide
Lord of the underworld, I swear the sacred rite
I will crucify, slay them with their tribe
Hear my war cry

I've sworn the oath
I've sworn the oath
I've sworn the oath

"Guyana - The Cult of The Damned"

We thank you for the kool aid, reverend Jim
We're glad to leave behind their world of sin
Our lifeless bodies fall on holy ground
Rotting flesh, a sacrificial mound

Were you our god or a man in a play
Who took our applause and forced us to stay
Now all together we lived as we died
On your command by your side

Guyana in the Cult of the Damned
Give us your word for the grand final stand
Guyana in the Cult of the Damned
Give us your word for the grand final stand

In the Cult of the Damned we all worked the land
Too afraid to look up we all feared his hand
Hurry my children there isn't much time
But we'll meet again on the other side
Be good to the children and old people first
Hand them a drink they're dying of thirst

Bigfoot Bigfoot thrown in a well
Pulled under water screaming like hell
He told us life was just a hotel
Time to check out when he rang the bell
Mother, Mother

"Secret Of Steel"

Atop the mountain, where the river of steel flows
Black is the forest, white was the snow.
There as children, how could children know?
One without name or number soon would show.

There stood he, on his chariot made of gold
He did reveal the trinity of secrets old.

A sceptre of iron could mercy bring.
A shield of gold, the Creator and king,
And the great sword of steel.

Sons of destiny shall wield.
Hear Wisdom's voice.
Rise, know the strength that you feel.
Hold in your heart, but never reveal
You were called by the Gods, their powers to wield.
Guard well the secret of steel.

"Gloves Of Metal"

Hear the pounding army of the night
The call of metal summons us tonight.
And gather we on this site
To behold the power and the might.
We wear leather, we wear spikes, we rule the night.

Off with the lights, hear the screams
See the banging heads awaken to their dreams.
The sound of metal so loud it cracks the beams
Played by warriors called the Metal Kings.

A hero's welcome for those who heed the call.
We are together, we are all.
With hands high fists fill the air
Against the world we stand.
Hands high forever we'll be there.
Gloves of Metal rule tonight. Yea.

A hero's welcome for those who heed the call.
We are together, we are all.
With hands high fists fill the air
Against the world we stand.
Hands high forever we'll be there,
Gloves of Metal rule tonight.

Leather, Metal, Spikes and Chains
Gloves of Metal raised to show the brave.
Into the darkness march the armies of the night.
Bound by metal we live the fight.
We wear leather, we wear spikes, we rule the night
With hands high fists fill the air
Against the world we stand.
With hands high forever we'll be there,
Gloves of Metal rule tonight!

"Gates Of Valhalla"

Valhalla the gods await me
Open wide thy gates embrace me.
Great hall of the battle slain
With sword in hand.
All those who stand on shore
Raise high your hands to bid a last
farewell to the Viking land.

Death's chilling wind blows through my hair
I'm now immortal, I am there
I take my place by Odin's side
Eternal army in the sky.

I point my hatchet to the wind
I guard the gates and all within
Hear my sword sing as I ride across the sky
Sworn by the sacred blood of Odin onward ride.

Valhalla the gods await me
Open wide thy gates embrace me
Great hall of the battle slain
With sword in hand.
Behold the kingdom of the kings
Books of spells and magic rings
Endless knowledge, endless time
I scream the final battle cry.


"Hatred"

I taste your blood as it showers from my blade.
I eat your heart, from evil it was made.
With heart filled hatred black blood runs through
my veins.
I take your powers to the ancient ones who reign.

I conquer evil, let evil know my name.
Come forth ye wicked, know the gruesome pain.
I am the omen, the one that cannot die
I am the flame, hatred burns inside.

My strength is hatred, torment and pain, HATRED, HATRED.
With heart filled hatred black blood runs through my veins.

I crush your bones, I kill your face
I rip your flesh, I end the chase
You meet with terror, you draw the ace
I rule the world the rats that race.

My strength is hatred, torment and pain, HATRED, HATRED
With heart filled hatred black blood runs through my veins.

HATRED

"Revelation (Death's Angel)"

Above the wreckage of your mortal world I stand
Judgement passed delivered by his hand
Now clear the smoke, there the ashes stand
A fitting tribute to mortality and man.
What was written foretold in dreams,
in visions apocalypse now seen.
And all self-righteous fools who lived and blasphemed
Drink the wine of his anger
Die with the beast.

Vindication, he is coming on the clouds.
See his angels, hear their trumpets sound.
The day of anger when the stars fall from the sky
The moon turns red, the sun turns black as night.
Know the end is coming, heed this sign
By the morning star the four horsemen ride.

Revelation, the chosen saved
Earth be cleansed in a blaze.
Armageddon, the first trumpet blows
Hail, fire and blood fall on Satan's throne.

His hair as white as wool, his eyes like burning flame
He is the first and last, he brings the seven plagues.
Seven stars of seven cities in his hand
He holds the keys of death for the underworld and man.
Know the end is coming, heed this sign
By the morning star he four horsemen ride.

Revelation, the chosen saved
Earth be cleansed in a blaze.
Armageddon, the first trumpet blows
Hail, fire and blood fall on Satan's throne.

Revelation, the chosen saved
Earth be cleansed in a blaze.
Armageddon, the first trumpet blows
Hail, fire and blood fall on Satan's throne.

"March For Revenge (By The Soldiers Of Death)"

Ride, Ride, Ride, Ride Up From Hell

Armed with magic sons of demons and men
This song of greeting written for your tragic end.
So long our stride the world doth tremble with fear
Black winds blow where we ride near.
Maim and kill them, take the women and children.

Hot pitch and chain take to the air
Our ramming blades lay their ships hold bare.
Steel meets steel, axes, broadsword and shield.
Their heads ride our spears and bodies cover the fields.
Maim and kill them, take the women and children.

Fallen brother as I hold closed your side
I fear this wound your last.
Mighty earth now doth drink your blood
And I remember days long past.
Your sacrifice so great, rest now take thy sleep
For you shall not awake, let revenge be sweet.
For when we march, your sword rides with me.
For when we march, your sword rides with me.
For when we march, your sword rides with me.
For when we march, your sword rides with me.

You who killed my brother and all who take your side
This be your last hour. Let your steel be tried.
Now turn to face me upon the timeless plane
Kill me if you can.

Death is life!

By the full moon they rise from their graves.
Through seas of blood, fighting with hell bent rage.
Swear the creed of unity, by the circle of blood
We are one, we know not fear! Born to fight not run. Maim and kill them, take the women and children.
