Wheels of Fire
|
|
Since the dawn of time I've rolled across the earth Spinning in the dust Long before your birth Eating 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 nitroglycerine 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 |

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 |

Heart of Steel
|

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 |

The Crown and the Ring
|
|
From a battle I've come to a battle I ride Blazing up to the sky Chains of fate hold a firey 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 |

Kingdom Come

See the white light The light within Be your own disciple Fan the sparks of will For all of us waiting Our kingdom has come Rays of power shinning 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 comming Another kingdom falls The rightful are waiting But all are not rightful Wait and receive the weight of the fall Kingdom Come |

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 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 |

The Warrior's Prayer

Grandfather, tell my 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 the armies of the worlds standing, waiting. I thought to myself, for whom or for what are they waiting? Suddenly a gust of wind came up from the North, there appeared a lone rider, holding a sword of steel, then from the south came another, bearing a battle ax, from the east came a third holding a spiked club, and finally from the west, a rider who weilded a great hammer of war. With them came their soldiers of death, followed by an Army of Immortals. They were few in number but the look in their eyes told all who beheld them that they would leave this day only in victory or death. And there was a great silence... My heart began to pound, storm clouds filled the sky with darkness, rain came, and the four winds blew with such anger that I held fast to a tree. I watched the four riders raise their weapons into the air. Without warning, screaming their war cry they led the attack, down to the battle they rode, they met the armies of the world with a mighty clash! I could feel the ground shake, the earth drank much blood that day. Each of the four, was unto himself, a whirlwind of doom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When the smoke did clear, many thousands were dead. There was much blood and gore. Their bodies lay broken and scattered across the battlefield like brown leaves blown by the wind. And I saw the four ride together to the top of the hill, while below them the soldiers of death assembled, all those who would now swear allegiance to them. And the four spoke the words of the Warrior's Prayer. GODS OF WAR I CALL YOU, MY SWORD IS BY MY SIDE. I SEEK A LIFE OF HONOR, FREE FROM ALL FALSE PRIDE. I WILL CRACK THE WHIP WITH A BOLD MIGHTY HAIL. COVER ME WITH DEATH IF I SHOULD EVER FAIL. GLORY, MAJESTY, UNITY HAIL, HAIL, HAIL. And as I stood and looked on, I heard the armies of the world hail them without end, and their voices of victory carried long and far throughout the land!" Well, that's it, did you like the story? Yeah, it was great! Oh good, I'm glad. Now off to bed with you. Grandfather? Yes? Who were those four men? Who were they? THEY WERE THE METAL KINGS!!!!!!!!!!!! |
