6. Dark Avenger

[R. Friedman/J. Demaio]

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 life-blood 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's bell ring Narration: He was met at the gate of By the Guardian of the Lost Souls, The Keeper of the Unavenged And He did say to him: "Let you not pass Abaddon Return to the world From whence And seek payment Not only for thy known anguish But to 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 fiercely might And black in colour That he could stand as one: Darkness... Save from 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 smoke and flame 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 their lives With their lives With their lives With their lives

By moonlight we ride Ten thousands side by side With swords drawn held high Our whips and armours shine Hail to thee our infantry Still brave beyond the grave All have sworn the eternal vow The time to strike is now [Chorus:] Kill, kill, Oh ! Kill, kill, Oh ! Kill, kill, Oh ! Kill, kill, Oh ! 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 shade How proud our soldiers stand With mace and chain in hand Sound the charge Over the top of the vanguished pride [Chorus:] Victory, victory, Oh ! Victory, victory, Oh ! Victory, victory, Oh ! Victory, victory, Oh !

1. Warlord 2. Secret Of Steel 3. Gloves Of Metal 4. Gates Of Valhalla 5. Hatred 6. Revelation (Death's Angel) 7. March For Revenge (By The Soldiers Of Death)

1. Warlord

When you see me comin' flying down the road You know I ain't afraid to lay it down Yea got me some leather. Leather is my skin Black'n'chrome flashin' through the town. Some call me the WARLORD 'cause I'm a god-damn bad machine, young'n'hungry, not too proud'n'mean Ride, ride, ride, I'm the WARLORD of the road, Riding, riding, riding, ain't never growin' old. Take what I want and I go where I please Got the world right by the balls. This world ain't big enough to keep me down. Yea we're livin' in a sick world. The man on the T.V. said we got lotsa trouble overseas, well what the hell do I care? Think they care about me? Stop sending money send'em all a bomb. Ride, ride, ride, I'm the WARLORD of the road, Ridin', ridin', ridin', ain't never growin' old. Born to live in the fast lane on a chopped up Harley-D, smell that oil and high test gasoline. Never got a shortage of girls to share my seat. Well they all want to know what people say is true, You know, get a biker started 'n he'll drive all damn night. Well hold on honey 'cause this ride's for a ride. Ride, ride, ride, ride, ride, ride, ride I'm the WARLORD of the road. Ridin', ridin', ridin', ain't never growin' old. 2. 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 os 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. A sceptre of iron could mercy bring. A shield of gold, the Creator and king, And the great sword of steel. Sons os 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.

3. 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. Yea 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. Hands high forever we'll be there, Gloves of Metal rule tonight. Yea

4. 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.

5. 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

6. 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, 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.

7. 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.

1. All Men Play On Ten

I made a rock-n-roll sin When I tried giving in, to make money had to turn down loud 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 playing 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 again

I'm jet fuel honey, plug me in to 220, step back and let My fingers fly While I'm burning up my gear, there's a fire in your ear That's 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! Run back the power jack, and deck, all of my gear

Well it's more to me than just a job, and while I'm playing 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

3. 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 held up his hammer high and called 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

I watched as he shouted To the giants that died that day He held up his hammer high and called 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

Swing your hammer to crack the sky Lift your cape so that you might fly Back to Odin and 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 We'll die together in the end Odin

4. 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'm in the ground, I'm in the air, I'm all I live in the hearts of all men I'm 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

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 have no fear Death and glory Both draw near Like a man is a mountainside Greatness waits for those who try None can teach you, it's all inside Just climb

1. 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 evel Dark knowledge is mine. The ride of the wicked- The 1st sin was trust.- Kill without warning-for blood now I lust

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

2. 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 the gift of slavery To the chosen one.

Suicide Suicide don't you know Me-call to the Master-he will Come.-He will bring out Ressurection-cloaked 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-I'm your guest. Only I know why-

3. 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 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

6. Bridge Of Death

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 demanging the Sucred right to burn in hell,ride up to hells hot wind.Face one more evilthan 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 evel Lucifer is king Praise Satan

I know the one who waits satan is His name,is across the bridge of Death there he stands in flame I know the one who waits satan is His name,is 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.

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 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.

1. Wheels Of Fire

[Joey DeMaio]

Since the dawn of time I've rolled across the earth Snipping in the dust Long before your birth Eatin'tar and gasoline Every light I see is green Open pipes, my machines'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 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

2. Kings Of Metal

[Joey DeMaio,]

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 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 burnin' We always will other bands play Manowar kill

3. Heart Of Steel

[Joey DeMaio]

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

4. Sting Of The Bumblebee

5. The Crown And The Ring (Lament Of The Kings)

[Joey DeMaio]

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

6. Kingdom Come

[Joey DeMaio]

See the white light The light within Be your own disciple Fan the sparks of will For all of us waiting Our kingdom will come 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

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

7. Hail And Kill

[Joey DeMaio,Ross The Boss]

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, Hail and Kill, Hail and Kill Hail, 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, Hail and Kill, Hail and Kill Hail, 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, Hail and Kill, Hail and Kill

8. The Warriors Prayer

- Grandfather, tell me 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, (there?) was a great plane. Upon it, the armies of the world, 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 warriors 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 !!!!!!

9. Blood Of The Kings

[Joey DeMaio]

[PRELUDE] [I STORMS THE WALL]

I see my chariot run to your ships I'll drive you back to the sea You came here for gold The wall will not hold This day was promised to me The gods are my shield My fate has been sealed 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 today is mine Killing all 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 ]

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 blod is spilled His bones will all be broken Dragged across the field This bear 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 is inside the walls , the gods weigh my fate From this day 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 leaves 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 foretoid I will die by thy hand Into hades my soul descend

[VI DEATH HECTOR'S REWARD]

Cowards in the grip of fear, no valour 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 dealt, My hand a ruthless fate To avenge, and bringeth fury, Hector feel my hate A bloodbath was born to bring, by birth I'm an assassin To cut the cord of life and beath, 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 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, steadfest in direction I fall upon you bringing death, the gods give no protection Coward in the grip of fear, no valour to uphold Cut into the earth, with honor long been sold For all shall come to know me, as they fall ino their knees Zeus the Thunderer, control my destiny Blood and fire death and hate, you body I will desecrate Dogs and vultures eat your flesh the hall of hades waits Die, die, die...

[VII THE DESECRATION OF HECTOR'S BODY] [PART 1] [PART 2]

[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 fool 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 promice fulfilled More blood will be spilled, more will be killed.

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 3. 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

4. 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

5. 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.

6. 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

7. 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

8. 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 beam 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 dreams 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

2. Brothers Of Metal Pt.1

Strike while the iron is hot Steel is strongest so say we all And if we all were not brothers of metal would we fall? No They tried to test our spirit They tasted steel before we were done Grinding their bones into the dust of the past All blown away like a shot from a gun

We cast our lot together four still stand as one Here we'll remain forever till our kindgdoms one

3. The Gods Made Heavy Metal

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 came crashing down Hit the earth and split the ground Fire burned 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 is was good They said to play it louder than Hell We promised that we would When losers say it's over with you know that it's a lie The gods made heavy metal and it's never gonna die

We are the true believers It's our turn to show the world In the fire of heavy metal we were burned 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 is was good They said to play it louder than Hell We promised that we would When losers say it's over with you know that it's a lie The gods made heavy metal and it's 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 Gonna tear the roof off with our sound

Crack the 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 is was good They said to play it louder than Hell We promised that we would When losers say it's over with you know that it's a lie The gods made heavy metal and it's never gonna die

4. Courage

Some want to think hope is lost see me stand alone I can't do what others may want then I'll have no home

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

5. Number 1 We belong to the world we belong to the wind We are the spirit of the competition's end Turning hours into days burning muscles feel the pain The heart and soul of discipline my friends

We are sending you a challenge it's very clear We came to win that is why we are here Demanding to be tested, tested by the best Not to be forgotten like all the rest

The time has come all the training done The muscle and the blood will come to pay

Let the game begin hear the starting gun Play from the heart today we will overcome When the game is over all the counting's done We were born to win number 1

Today is the day all the training through We have come for the number one not the number two Let the contest begin play hard fight to win Immortality victory and fame

The time has come all the training done The muscle and the blood will come to pay

Let the game begin hear the starting gun Play from the heart today we will overcome When the game is over all the counting's done We were born to win number 1

6. Outlaw

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

7. King

Now is the time to reach for the sky Gather the wind hear the voice to fly To know why they sing about heroes and kings Who were brave and not afraid to die Look and you'll see that a new day will bring The will to go on and fight through endless suffering For all who believe wait a crown 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 is 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

8. Today Is A Good Day To Die [instrumental]

9. My Spirit Lives On

[instrumental]

10. The Power

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 an urn The power in the darkness to see without my sight Walk among the living free of wrong and right The power of the magic the power of the spell Not to serve in Heaven but one day to 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 to kill the power to feel The power of blood the triumph of steel Greater that 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 graves then cast a final spell Fly into the night and one day meet in Hell

Power the power the power

1. Manowar

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 Requested leave 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

Oooh, 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 on partisans 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

2. 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

3. 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

4. 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

8. 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

9. 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.

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 Valkries fly High overhead - they carry the dead Where the blood of my enemy lies.

10. Hail And 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

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

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

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

1. Call To Arms

When they see us they will run for their lives To the end they will pay for their lies So long did we wait, now we are home

Here once again there's a battle to fight Gather together for the sound and the might So long did we wait, now we are home

Now we will fight for the kingdom, fighting with steel Kill all of them, their blood is our seal Fight till the last of the enemy is dead Ride through their blood that we gladly have shed

I now issue the call, are you ready to fight - yeah Fight altogether as one for the right To be free once again - tonight we will win

I can see by the look that you have in your eyes You came here for metal, to fight and to die Defenders of steel, now we are home

Fight for the kingdom bound for glory Armed with a heart of steel I swear by the brothers who stand before me To no man shall I kneel Then blood is upon my steel

[Repeat 3, 4, 5, chorus to fade]

2. Fight For Freedom

There's a sound heard across the land It's heard across the sea You'll only hear it if you listen with your hearts And one day hope to be free

To hear the sound of freedom many gave their lives They fought for you and me Those memories will always live in silence And now it's our time to be free

[Chorus:] Where the eagles fly - I will soon be there If you want to - come along with me my friend Say the words and you'll be free From the mountains to the sea We'll fight for freedom again

Scream out loud for all the world to hear From sea to shining sea ?? Let freedom ring and every man be king To live as one through the years

[Repeat chorus]

Now is the time we all must stand together So raise your hands show them we are strong Side by side the fight goes on forever Marching to the battle with this song

Nessun dorma, Tu pure, o principessa, Nella tua fredda stanza Guardi le stelle che tremano D'amore e di speranza! Ma il mio mistero e chiuso in me, Il nome mio nessun sapra! No, no, sulla tua bocca lo diro, Quando la luce splendera! Ed il mio bacio sciogliera Il silenzio che ti fa mia!

Dilegua, o notte! Tramontate, stelle, tramontate, stelle! All'alba vincero, vincero, vincero! Dilegua, o notte! Tramontate, stelle, tramontate, stelle! All'alba vincero, vincero, vincero! 4. Valhalla

5. Swords In The Wind

I surrender my soul Odin hear my call One day I'll sit beside your throne In Valhalla's great hall Like so many before me I'll die with honor and pride

The right of the warrior Forever to fight by your side Send a sign, raise the sail Wave a last goodbye Destiny is calling Immortality be mine

Call the witch to cast the runes Weave a magic spell We who die in battle are born Not for heaven, not for hell

[Bridge:] We are sons of Odin The fire we burn inside Is the legacy of warrior kings Who reign above in the sky

[Chorus:] I will lead the charge My sword into the wind Sons of Odin fight To die and live again Viking ships cross the sea In cold wind and rain Sail into the black of night Magic stars our guiding light

Today the blood of battle Upon my weapons will never dry Many I'll send into the ground Laughing as they die [Repeat bridge, chorus]

Place my body on a ship And burn it on the sea Let my spirit rise Valkiries carry me Take me to Valhalla Where my brothers wait for me Fires burn into the sky My spirit will never die

6. An American Trilogy

Oh I wish I was in the land of cotton Old times they are not forgotten Look away, look away, look away Dixie land

Oh I wish I was in Dixie away, away In Dixie land I'll take my stand To live and die in Dixie

Dixie land where I was born Early Lord one frosty morning Look away, look away, look away Dixie land

Glory, glory, hallelujah Glory, glory, hallelujah Glory, glory, hallelujah This truth is marching on

So hush little baby, don't you cry You know your daddy's bound to die All my trials Lord will soon be over

Glory, glory, hallelujah This truth is marching on This truth is marching on

7. The March

8. Warriors Of The World (United) 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 hands With dreams to be a king, first one should be a man I call about and charge them all with a life that is a lie And in their final hour they shall confess before they die

[Repeat chorus]

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

Brothers everywhere - raise your hands into the air We're warriors, warriors of the world

[Repeat chorus to fade]

9. Hand Of Doom

Hands of doom are reaching out to crush all infidels who stray Time to know the pain, no time to run within And these hands you see before you will end the light of day Your ashes will be cast into the wind Your blood's upon the soil, your body fed to wolves Not one of you will be left alive Hear the sound pounding and the army of the night By the hammer of Thor you now shall die

[Chorus:] Tonight we strike, there is Together we'll fight, some of us will die But they'll always remember that we made a stand And many will die by my hand

High atop the mountain, with hammers in the wind Lusting for blood and death again In a flash of lightning strike now the house of death invites you Body and soul to come within I see the fear you have inside, you can run but never hide I will hunt you down and tear you limb from limb Nothing shall remain, not your memory, your name It will be as though you never, ever lived

[Repeat chorus, 2nd verse, chorus]

10. House Of Death

Blood and thunder mix with rain Into the kingdom of darkness again Lightning flash and body in flame All shall kneel at the sound of my name My path is set, I live with no regret I'm sworn to kill, never to forget

[Chorus:] No road back, I never will return Into the fire of hell I will burn And die, die, die into the house of death And die, die, die into the fire of hell

Army of the heavens, my army waits in hell To battle on the earth, for all the souls who fell I will not go onto my death alone Seven gates to pass until I reach my home Across the bridge of death, beyond the gates of light Into the heart of darkness, into the black of night

[Repeat chorus]

Into the darkness I command my soul Never shall I repent, never shall I be saved I go into the house of death Before my last breath my enemies all shall die

Die, die, die into the house of death Die, die, die into the fire of hell

11. Fight Until We Die

When they come, I'll be ready I hear their voices inside The stars in the heavens are moving Soon they will align

Thor, god of thunder Let me die with a sword in my hand Raise your hands, swords in the wind Brothers of metal together again With blood in our voices we ride We'll fight till we win or we'll fight until we die

Gods of thunder, fire and rain Cut into the earth till none shall remain Sons of demons I command you to fly Ride on from hell into the sky We'll fight until we die

[Repeat all]

Dreadful Thunder The storms moving in And Judgment day is calling My soul has been healed By the power of steel And the sound of glory I will send into the ground All that are found By the sign of the hammer falling Yes Heathens will fall I will strike down them all Then you will know my calling

Bravery calls my name In the sound of the wind in the night My sword will drink blood And I will fight Yes I will fight In the dawn of battle Dawn of Battle

I will rise up from the chaos I will rise up from the grave A brother to the darkness A master to the slaves

I am the soul descendent Of the fire and the rage I was wrought upon the earth Born to rule and battle wage

By the total domination Of the world in my command By the Air and the water By the Fire and the land

I give no explanation I was branded by the will Bringer of Death and Destruction To all that I now kill

Bravery calls my name In the sound of the wind in the night My sword will drink blood And I will fight Yes I will fight In the dawn of battle Dawn of Battle

I long to be free So I wait for a sign I wait for a star To fall from the sky From the dust of sleep A promise to keep Then all who see shall believe Deliver into my hand The sword of the land Let my journey begin So all shall understand That if I fall I will live again

I will rise up from the chaos I will rise up from the grave A brother to the darkness A master to the slaves

I give no explanation I was branded by the will To bring of Death and Destruction To all that I now kill

Bravery calls my name In the sound of the wind in the night My sword will drink blood And I will fight Yes I will fight In the dawn of battle

All stand together for the world to see Now the time is right to live out all our dreams Say the words forever, your strength will never leave If you want to win the fight, say "I believe"

[Verse 1,2,3] Let's all stand together for the world to see Now the time is right to live out all our dreams Say the words forever, your strength will never leave If you want to win the fight, say "I believe" If you want to win tonight, say "I believe"

I'm the lord of the day and the night I have nothing to sell but the power of hell My Armies of fire awaits I'm here to be paid for the pact that was made My payments can never be late

Crack the Earth, Gods of Thunder Men and beast will be torn assunder 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

Aquí te veo estar parado todo alrededor del mundo El esperar en una línea para oír la batalla grita Todos se recolectan aquí, victoria están cerca El sonido llenará el pasillo, trayéndonos la energía toda Solos estamos luchando para el metal que es verdad Poseemos la derecha de vivir la lucha, estamos aquí para ti ahora juramos que la sangre sobre tu acero nunca se secará Estar parada y luchar junto debajo del cielo de la batalla [Estribillo:] Los hermanos por todas partes - levantar tus manos en el aire Somos los guerreros, guerreros del mundo Como trueno del cielo - jurado para luchar y para morir Somos los guerreros, guerreros del mundo Muchos están parados contra nosotros, pero nunca ganarán Dijimos que volveríamos y aquí estamos otra vez Para traeros toda la destrucción, sufrimiento y dolor Somos el martillo de los dioses, nosotros somos trueno, viento y lluvia. Allí esperan en miedo con las espadas en manos débiles Con los sueños a ser rey, primer uno debe ser un hombre Llamo alrededor y los cargo todos con una vida que sea una mentira y sobre su hora final confesarán antes de que mueran [Estribillo de la repetición] Si caigo en la batalla, mis hermanos que luchen por mi frunce lateral mi caballo y armas, decir a mi familia cómo morí Seré hasta entonces fuerte, yo lucharé para todo que sea verdadero todos que estén parados de mi manera mueran por el acero Los hermanos por todas partes - levantar tus manos en el aire Somos los guerreros, guerreros del mundo [El estribillo de la repetición se descolora]
