Manowar Album

I hear the sound
In a metal way
I feel the power
Rolling on the stage
'Cause only one thing
Really sets me free
Heavy metal
Loud as it can be
Baby I was born to play music
I am a man with a screaming guitar
There's a light in a middle of the stage
In a minute I'll be wearing it all
I don't know another way of living
Baby I don't really care
Give me a pair of chains, aim the whiplash at me
The girls I'd love to share
Chorus:
Heavy metal, metal daze
Heavy metal, heavy metal daze
Heavy metal, heavy metal daze
Living like there's no tomorrow
Yeah, I could resist we're all on the edge
This is: Man you really graft it
This band: A social waste
Well, we all got arms made of metal
And our glories are no deblock
And if I don't hear the sound of metal
I go into shock !
Chorus:
Heavy metal, metal daze
Heavy metal, heavy metal daze
Heavy metal, heavy metal daze
Heavy metal, heavy metal daze
Heavy metal
So mister D. J.
Play just one for me
You know the one
With the crushin' and the screams
'Cause only one thing
Really sets me free
Heavy metal
Loud as it can be
Chorus:
Heavy metal, metal daze
Heavy metal, heavy metal daze
Heavy metal, heavy metal daze
heavy metal, heavy metal daze
Heavy metal
Loud as it can be

He broke the laws of the elders
So they plucked out his eye,
Took his land and fortune,
Left him to die
Bound on the shoreline,
Left for the tide,
sees his lifeblood leaving...
Circling lower, the vultures fly
His bones may be broken
But the spirit can't die
And the Gods see his anguish
And give him a sign
From the floor of the ocean
The ship of the lost souls rise
And they take him where no one sleeps while the undead cry,
Where no one sleeps while the undead cry...
And in the world above
The elders sing,
On his land they live...
Let death bell ring
Narration:
He was met at the gate of Hades
By the Guardian of the Lost Souls,
The Keeper of the Unavenged
And He did say to him:
"Let you not pass
Abandon
Return to the world
From whence you came
And seek payment
Not only for thine own anguish
But vindicate the souls
Of the Unavenged"
And they placed in his hands
A sword
Made for him
Called: Vengeance
Forged in brimstone
And tempered
By the woeful tears of the Unavenged
And to carry him up on his journey
Back to the upper world
They brought forth
Their Demon horse
Called: Black Death
A grim steed
So fearsome in might
And black in colour
That he could stand as one with the darkness...
Save for his burning eyes
of crimson fire
And on that night
They rode up from Hell
The pounding of his hooves
Did clap like thunder !
Chorus:
Burning, death, destruction
Raping the daughters and wives
In blood I take my payment
In full with their lives
No one can escape me
On Black Death I ride
When kissed by the sword of Vengeance
Your head lays there by your side
I take the lives of all that I once knew
The torn flesh of a slow death waits for you
Chorus:
Burning, death, destruction
Raping the daughters and wives
In blood I take my payment
In full with their lives
I spare not land or servants
My wake is sloathe and there
I take their wives and daughters
They stand there watching, watching
Hoping to get my life
But when I'm through they know they must pay
Chorus:
Burning, death, destruction
Raping the daughters and wives
In blood I take my payment
In full with they lives
With they lives
With they lives
With they lives

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.

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

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.

Slowly crossing as the river runs below.
Never stopping for whats waiting soon will slow.
And this 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 success
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 briges.
I now cross it giving him my soul.

Dark Lord, I summon thee,
demanding the sacred right to burn in hell.
Ride up to 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 to him my soul.
I shall do his bidding, obey 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 you messenger I'll fly.

Grandfather, tell my 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...

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 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 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

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!

Brothers, the battle is raging
Choose your side
Sing with us the batle hymn
Into glory ride
Hail to England
The sign of the hammer's our guide
Forever we're fighting the world
Side by side

On a crusade
The world we bring
Four kings of metal
Four metal kings
Death to the false ones
Dance on a string
'Til the blood on your sword is the blood of a king
'Til the blood on your sword is the blood of a king

Our armies in England, Scotland, and Wales
Our brothers in Belgium, Holland and France will not fail
Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Italy
Switzerland, Austria
Back to the glory of Germany

On a crusade
The world we bring
Four kings of metal
Four metal kings
Death to the false ones
Dance on a string
'Til the blood on your sword is the blood of a king
'Til the blood on your sword is the blood of a king

Sound the death tone
On our march for revenge
Spill the blood of my enemies
The oath of a friend
Fight the holy war for the crown and the ring
Six magic circles made by the blood of the kings

Wherever we ride, it's metal we bring
Four kings of metal
Four metal kings
Death to the false ones
Dance on a string
'Til the blood on your sword is the blood of a king
'Til the blood on your sword is the blood of a king
Blood of a king

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 heart 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

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
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

I'm a stranger in town and my guns never cold
I'm a gambler so bet on your life
You'll never live to grow old
I deal in lead I won't step aside
Where trouble's waitin well so am I
I live for the fight the thrill of the kill
Paid in gold for the blood I spill

Outlaw outlaw outlaw ride
Into the West a gun by your side
Hell and glory honor and pride
A gun will decide where the outlaws ride

The law of the West was the law of the gun
Shoot and be fast live on the run
Stay alive be fast on the draw
Live by the gun or die by the law

Outlaw outlaw outlaw ride
Into the West a gun by your side
Hell and glory honor and pride
A gun will decide where the outlaws ride
Shot through the heart in the blink of an eye
Buried up on boot hill
Life is cheap when the bounty is high
So be ready to kill

The law of the West was the law of the gun
Shoot and be fast live on the run
Stay alive be fast on the draw
live by the gun or die by the law
Shot of whisky I'll be on my way
Back in the saddle pull on the reins
Spurs to the beast over the hill
Another town one more kill

Outlaw outlaw outlaw ride
Into the West a gun by your side
Hell and glory honor and pride
A gun will decide where the outlaws ride

I've Got The Power To Fly Into The Wind
The Power To Be Free To Die And Live Again
This Power's Like Fire, Fire Loves To Burn
Make The World A Grave Of Ashes In A Urn
The Power In The Darkness To See Without My Sight
The Power Of The Magic The Power Of The Spell
Not To Serve In Heaven But One Day Rule In Hell

Power The Power The Power

This Power's Greater Than Love And Of Hate
This Is The Power Of Will And Of Fate
The Power Of Blood The Triumph Of Steel
Greater Than The Power Of A Priest Or A Sinner
The Power To Defy To Fight And Be The Winner
The Power Of The Demons Spirits I Command
Always By My Side To Serve The Master's Plan

Power The Power The Power

None Can Fight The Power None Can Fight The Wind
Secrets Of All Life And Death Are Carried There Within
Call Out To The Power Of The Darkness And Light
Have Dominion Of The Earth Be Lord Of All The Night
Kill All Those Who Stand Against You Look Into Their Eyes
Drink Their Blood And Laugh As They Pay For All Their Lies
Piss Upon Their Grave Then Cast A Final Spell
Fly Into The Night One Day Meet In Hell

Power The Power The Power

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
