We met on English ground
In a backstage room
We heard the sound
And we all knew
What we had to do
We called the high command
Questedly to make a stand
And in the field we grew
And we all knew
Soon the time would come
For us to fight,
Destination
Now in sight
Aaah, Manowar
Born to live forever more
The right to conquer every shore
Hold your ground and give no more
Our fight will never end
So we called your party sense
To raise your hands
And take our stand
Look sharp
When duty calls
Where we march
Cities fall
And the strong survive
And take our side
Now the time has come
For us to fight
Target waiting
In our sight
Aaah, Manowar
Born to live forever more
The right to conquer every shore
Hold your ground and give no more
Manowar
Born to live forever more
The right to conquer every shore
Manowar
Born to live forever more
Manowar
Born to live forever more
The right to conquer every shore
Hold your ground and give no more
Born to live forever more
The right to conquer every shore
Manowar

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
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
The 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 Burning
We Always Will
Other Bands Play - Manowar Kill
Other Bands Play - Manowar Kill

Now listen to me...
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

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 berserk-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 shell
Remain.On the blood of all our
Fathers-on their weapons we now
Swear to evenge-not lament.
Give the False ones death.

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

Piano Interlude

[No lyrics]

. . .


Some want to think hope is lost
See me stand alone
I can't do what other may want
Then I'll have no home

So for now, wave goodbye and leave your hands held high
Hear this song of courage long into the night
So for now, wave goodbye and leave your hands held high
Hear this song of courage long into the night

And the wind will bear my cry
To all who hope to fly
Hear this song of courage
Ride into the night

Battles are fought by those with the courage to believe
They are won by those who find the heart
Find a heart to share
This heart that fills the soul will point the way to victory
If there's a fight, then I'll be there, I'll be there

So for now, wave goodbye and leave your hands held high
Hear this song of courage long into the night
And the wind will bear my cry to all who hope to fly
Lift your wings up high my friend, fearless to the end
So for now, wave goodbye, leave your hands held high
Hear this song of courage long into the night

. . .


The trail of tears began for all the Cherokee
The white men came to trade and 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 make 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 man die

. . .


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
Demons fly
Victims are coming
Guns of the dead

I ride through the air
I laugh as I die
With powers of evil
Dark knowledge is mine

The wry are the wicked
The first sin was trust
Kill without warning
For blood now I lust

Strong winds, magic mist
To Asgard the Valkyries fly
High overhead, they carry the dead
Where the blood of my enemy lies

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

Strong winds, magic mist
To Asgard the Valkyries fly
High overhead, they carry the dead
Where the blood of my enemy lies

. . .


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

. . .


Here our soldiers stand
From all around the world
Waiting in a line
To hear the battle cry
All are gathered here
Victory is near
The sound will fill the hall
Bringing power to us all

We alone are fighting for metal
That is true
We own the right to live the fight
We're here for all of you
Now swear the blood upon your steel
Will never dry
Stand and fight together
Beneath the battle sky

Chorus:
Brothers everywhere
Raise your hands into the air
We're warriors,
Warriors of the world!
Like thunder from the sky
Sworn to fight and die
We're warriors,
Warriors of the world!

Many stand against us
But they will never win
We said we would return
And here we are again
To bring them all Destruction,
Suffering and pain
We are the hammer of the gods
We are thunder, wind and rain

There they wait in fear
With swords in feeble hand
With dreams to be a king
First one should be a man
I call them out and
Charged them all with
A life that is a lie
And in their final hour
They shall confess before they die

Chorus: repeat

slow
If I should fall in battle
My brothers who fight by my side
Gather my horse and weapons
Tell my family how I died

Until then I will be strong
I will fight for all that is real
All who stand in my way
will die...
By steel...

Chorus 2:
Brothers... repeat 4x

. . .


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

. . .


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 in 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!"

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

. . .


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 judgment.
You gave us life.

You wait in the rain-you walk
Through the snow.We give you
Our blood.We want you to know.
In our eyes you immortal-
In our hearts you'll live forever-
In our eyes you immortal-
In our hearts you'll live forever.

We have read your letters-
We have heard your call.
We were brought together-
Cause we've got the balls-
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-
Here's your song we want you to
Know
In our eyes you immortal-
In our hearts you'll live forever-
In our eyes you immortal-
In our hearts you'll live forevermore.
.
Metal makes us strong
Together we belong forever-
Here's your song we want you to
Know
In our eyes you immortal-
In our hearts you'll live forever-
In our eyes you immortal-
In our hearts you'll live forevermore.

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 held 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
Will 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

I watched as he shouted
To the giants that died that day
He held 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
Will die together in the end

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

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
Will die together in the end

. . .


Now Is The Time To Reach For The Sky
Gather The Wind Hear The Voice To Fly

For All Who Believe Wait A Crown And A Ring

The Power Of The Man Who Would Be King
The Power Of The Man Who Would Be King

Into The Fight Of Hopes And Dreams
The Master Of The Wind Knows Nothing's What It Seems
The Melting Of The Soul The Wish Of Those Who Scheme
The Taking Of The Will By Destroyers Of The Dream
They Live To Spread The Fear Of The Wrong Of Right Of Self
They Want Us All To Live Like Books Upon A Shelf
But We Know We Have The Power To Fight And Make A Stand
Strike When We Are Challenged All Across The Land To Be King

Fight For The Crown, Fight For The Ring
We're Fighting The World, We Fight For The King

Time To Face The World Let Brothers Never Fight
Forever Forge Ahead And Keep The Dream In Sight
For Those Who Never Try They Are Sure To Fail
The Heart's A Righteous Wind That Comes To Fill The Sail
For The Glory Of The King We Fight To Stay Alive
By The Power Of The Will, The Spirit To Survive To Be King

Fight For The Crown, Fight For The Ring
We're Fighting The World, We Fight For The King

All Of The Dreams Held Deep Inside Have A Meaning To The Soul
Freedom To Bring A Thought To The Wing Is Waiting To Unfold
For The Crown And The Ring
The Power Of The Man Who Would Be King

Fight For The Crown, Fight For The Ring
We're Fighting The World, We Fight For The King

For The Glory Of The King We Fight To Stay Alive Fight
By The Power Of The Will The Spirit To Survive Fight
Across The Gates Of Heaven Beyond The Gates Of Hell Fight
We Fought To Stay Together
We Have Won And Have Lived To Tell Who Would Be King

Fight For The Crown, Fight For The Ring
We're Fighting The World, We Fight For The King

In the beginning there was silence
and darkness, all across the earth.
Then came the wind, and a hole in the sky.
Thunder and lightning keep crushing down,
hit the earth and split the ground,
fire burning high in the sky.

From down below, fire melted the stone,
the ground shook, and started to pound.

The gods made heavy metal,
and they saw that it was good.
They said to play it louder than hell,
we promised that we would.
When loosers say its over with,
you know that its a lie.
The gods made heavy metal,
and its never gonna die.

We are the true believers,
its our turn to show the world,
in the fire of heavy metal,
we were burnt.
It's more than our religion,
it's the only way to live,
but the enemies of metal,
we can't forgive.

Cause',
We believe in the power and the might,
and the gods who made metal, are with us tonight.

The gods made heavy metal,
and they saw that it was good.
They said to play it louder than hell,
we promised that we would.
When losers say its over with,
you know that its a lie.
The gods made heavy metal,
and its never... gonna die.

We believe in the power and the might,
and the gods who made metal, are with us tonight.

We're here tonight for heavy metal,
are you ready in the hall?
They have chosen us,
and we have heard the call.
Go and tell rumor with our sound,
crack walls and shake the ground.
Fight tonight for metal,
one and all.

(cause)
we believe in the power and the might,
and the gods who made metal, are with us tonight.

The gods made heavy metal,
and they saw that it was good.
They said to play it louder than hell,
we promised that we would.
When loosers say its over with,
you know that its a lie.
The gods made heavy metal,
and its never gonna die.

The gods made heavy metal,
and they saw that it was good.
They said to play it louder than hell,
we promised that we would.

and its never gonna die.

and its never gonna, never gonna die.

Full moon light is calling me
My kingdom lies within
The mystic soul and lion's 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

. . .


Now the time has come when all is said and done
We're back together on the road it's time to fly
No more time to wait you know it feels so great
Wearin leather on a horse of steel I ride
I ain't waitin to get old I'm runnin hot I'm never cold
Kiss my ass if you don't like me I don't care
I got my wheels I got my friends we're on the road again
We're all crazy gonna ride until we die

Time to burn you losers better learn
No one controls our goddamn lives
We'll do just what we feel riding horses made of steel
We're here to burn up the night

Losers try to put us down it's just another day
I got no money or big house just got life
I don't like to save it's more fun to spend
If you like metal you're my friend
And that bike out in the yard well that's my wife
Don't try to understand me my family never will
Had to punch my teacher out now he's chilled
I might stay in school or die in prison
Either way it's my decision one more beer and heavy metal
And I'm just fine

Time to burn you losers better learn
No one controls our goddamn lives
We'll so just what we feel riding horses made of steel
We're here to burn up the night

We are the undefeated we're not living in the past
We're here tonight to kick some goddamn ass
Feel the power of the wheels let's drink to riding steel
Livin hard and ridin fast

Time to burn you losers better learn
No one controls our goddamn life
We'll do just what we feel riding horses made of steel
We're here to burn up the night

. . .


The north star always guides me
When winter skies are grey
And I wait for the sun when all are one
I shall not betray
Calling at me
I'm waiting when all are led astray

Carry on my songs forever
Carry on when I am gone
Carry on when the day is long
Forever carry on
For as long as we're together
Then forever carry on

Darkness all around us
We don't close our eyes
No one's gonna ground us
We were born to fly
Comin' at us no stopping
Born to amplify

Carry on my songs forever
Carry on when I am gone
Carry on when the day is long
Forever carry on
For as long as we're together
Then forever carry on

Yeah, be my brother
Fight to stay alive
All the world can't change us
With all their burned-out jive
Come get us now we're waiting
We won't run and hide

Carry on my songs forever
Carry on when I am gone
Carry on when the day is long
Forever carry on
For as long as we're together
Then forever carry on

Now we're all together
Let's sing a fighting song
One hundred thousand riders
We can't all be wrong
Comin'at us no stopping
Always carry on

Carry on my songs forever
Carry on when I am gone
Carry on when the day is long
Forever carry on
For as long as we're together
Then forever carry on

. . .


By moonlight we ride
Ten thousands side by side
With swords drawn held high
Our whips and armour shine
Hail to thee our infantry
Still brave beyond the grave
All sworn the eternal vow
The time to strike is now

Kill !! Kill !!
Kill !! Kill !!

Gone are the days when freedom shone
now blood and steel meet bone
In the light of the battle's way
The sands of time will shake
How proud our soldiers stand
with mace and chain in hand
Sound of charge into glory ride
over the top of their vanguished pride

Victory !! Victory !!
Victory !! Victory !!

Victory !! Victory !!
Victory !! Victory !!

To the battle we ride we crossed a starlit sky
No space no time we'll catch the wind
Strange losses, men died we crossed a starlit sky
And still no space and time we'll catch the wind

[Solos]

Kill !! Kill !!
Kill !! Kill !!

Kill !! Kill !!
Kill !! Kill !!

Sound of charge into glory ride
over the top of their vanguished pride
By moonlight we ride
Ten thousands side by side

Kill !! Kill !!
Kill !! Kill !!

Kill !! Kill !!
Kill !! Kill !!
