WHEELS OF FIRE

Since the dawn
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 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
Waitin 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


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 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


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 (LAMENT OF THE KINGS)

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


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 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


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


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 was a great plane:
the planet and 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 dead
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 a 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 !!! !!!
