Manowar Album

[Christopher Lee]
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 for ever be known
As the King of Kings...

[Eric Adams]
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 my command...

Voices of Victory all Shout and proclaim
The Kingdom of Glory is mine
The Raise of the will are a prophecy filled
I'm the lord of the day and the night

I have 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 payments 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
The Light has no meaning
Awake me I'm dreaming
They live in a castle of fear

I summon the demons that live in the wind
As my Chariot strives 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 true is justice and retribution on failing

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

(solo)

I summon the demons that live in the wind
As my Chariot strives 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

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

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

King of Kings
King of Kings
King
Of Kings

In the hall of the slain
Valkyries and heroes attend me
Ravens and wolves at my side
Forever they did befriend me

I paid an eye for a drink of mead
And was given wisdom supreme
Granted to me the secrets
Of magic, of life and death

Aaah.. Speared hung upside down
Nine days and nights no food nor mead
The will to be a sacrifice
Of myself unto myself

Wisdom and rhyme
Sorcery, death living inside me
Of life and death I am king
For both do I bring by sword and spear and ring

Raise thy weapons on this day
Ye shall not die alone

Fight and die let valkyries fly
For they shall take thee home

I promise thee that on this night
Ye shall be by my side

Asgard's halls await with hero's
Brothers that have died

For thee we wait at asgard's gates
Come join us by our side

Valhalla waits so choose thy fate
For all of us must die!

Down from the sky
Into the fight
Hearts full of rage, full of thunder and glory
Swords in the wind
Crossing the sky
Lords of doom bring an end to their story

Father on bended knee
I ask thee, raise thy hand
We, the sons of Odin await thy command
Born under the sign of the hammer we stand
And here we all may die!
Our blood on the ground,
the battle horns sound!
Let thy Valkyries fly!!

Down from the sky into the fight
Hearts full of rage, full of thunder and glory
Swords in the wind
Crossing the sky
Lords of doom bring an end to their story

Today is the day we Die in the fight
None shall remain to pass one more night
Now Valhalla's calling us immortal
We are gods immortal!
We are Gods Of War!!

Odin!
Here the fallen waits
To join thee
By thy side
Let Valhalla's gates
Open wide.....

Born under the sign of the hammer they lived
And here they fought and died!
Their blood on the ground
The battle horns sound!!
Let thy Valkyries fly!!!

Down from the sky
Into the fight
Hearts full of rage, full of thunder and glory
Swords in the wind
Crossing the sky
Lords of doom bring an end to their story

Today is the day we Die in the fight
None shall remain to pass one more night
Now Valhalla's calling us immortal
We are gods immortal!
We are Gods Of War!!

Down from the sky
Into the fight
Hearts full of rage, full of thunder and glory
Swords in the wind
Crossing the sky
Lords of doom bring an end to their story

Woooooa!
Wooooooa!
Woooooooa!
Wooooooooa!
Woooooooooa!
Woaaaa!
Wooooa!!!!

(oh)
Here to the blaze
I wander
Through this black night
I ponder
The edge of our mighty swords
Did clash
Fallen by our axes
Helmets smash

Glory and fame
Blood is our name
Souls full of thunder
Hearts of steel
Killers of men
Of warriors 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
Soul full of thunder
Hearts of steel
Killers of men
Of warriors 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

(Solo)

Sons of Odin we fought
By the hammer of Thor
Ride down from the sky
Another is born
Another shall fall
This day bent will die

(oh) Glory and fame
(oh) Blood is our name
(oh) Souls full of thunder
(oh) Hearts of steel
(oh) Killers of men
(oh) Of warriors friend
(oh) Sworn to avenge our fallen brothers

(oh) Sons of the gods today we shall die
(oh) Open Valhalla's door
(oh) Let the battle begin with swords in the wind
(oh) Hail Gods of War

(oh) Sons of the gods today we shall die
(oh) Open Valhalla's door
(oh) Let the battle begin with swords in the wind
(oh) Hail Gods of War

(oh) Let the battle begin with swords in the wind
(oh) Hail
(oh) Gods
(oh) of War!!!

(Onward into the heart of 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
Thus Odin alone would choose the day
They would enter Valhalla
And in their hour of need
He sent forth onto them The Berserker Rage
Now gods embed
They rose up from the ground
Screaming like wild animals
Such is the gift of absolute power
No blade or weapon would hurt them
They killed men and horses alike
And all who stood before them died that day
Hail Gods Of War)
