Manowar Album

Since the dawn of time
I've rolled across the earth
Spinning in the dust

Long before your birth
Eatin' 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 nitroglycerin
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 fires ride

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

Manowar, Manowar Living On The Road
When We're In Town Speakers Explode
We Don't Attract Whimps '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 Burning
We Always Will

We're The Kings Of Metal Comin' 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 Burning
We Always Will

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

[No lyrics]

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

See The White Light
The Light Within
Be Your Own Disciple
Fan The Sparks Of Will
For All Of Us Waiting
Your Kingdom Will Come
...Alright

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

Now 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 Coming
Another Kingdom Falls
The Rightful Are Waiting
But All Are Not Rightful
Wait And Receive...
The Weight Of The Fall

Kingdom Come

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
Chained unto my bed
Woman be my slave
Begging to be fed

Your body belongs to me

Woman come here
Remove your garments
Kneel before me
Please me

Woman be my slave
Chained unto my bed
Woman be my slave
Begging to be fed

I want you now

Woman be my slave

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 pride
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

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
