Hell On Earth (part III)
|
Ovo je review Erika Thomasa, na Manowarovo mega dvostruko DVD izdanje Hell On Earth III. Pomalno je smijesan, no odlican i realan clanak :) Must have I guess I should explain why it’s taken so long for me to write this review. Well, honestly I do most of my writing from work - a place not exactly conducive to watching Manowar DVDs. Second, I had to watch this in snippets at home because of the fear of my family walking in on the loin clothed sweatiness that is Manowar and think I was watching gay porn. I’ll admit it, I’m a closet Manowar fan: I own all the albums, but not one shirt. They were in fact one of the first metal bands I ever heard, so despite the inherent homoerotic backlash the band garners, I have a soft spot for them. So if you don’t like 'em, don’t read this review. I’m not sure where Hell on Earth pts I and II are, but here is part III - a double DVD set that entails pretty much every aspect of Manowar’s worldwide influences. You get tons of live show clips, background footage, home video shenanigans, interviews, motorcycles, fan profiles (including fans playing with the band on stage), videos and a few obligatory titties. There’s no real surprises or worthwhile extras such as unreleased tracks or rare songs - just a bevy of the band’s well known tracks and expected heavy metal backstage high jinks. After a record setting number of fiery explosions for the introductions, DVD 1 is a whirlwind tour of Manowar’s globe hopping tours and provides coverage on stage and backstage footage from each of their packed appearances all over the world - with a song or two from each location. What is undeniable is that from Spain to the Czech Republic, Manowar are a fans' band and live to play live. Whatever the venue, their sound is powerful and loud and they’re rousing and their music is made for mass hysteria fan chanting. At every country, the fans are in droves, and the band plays with the energy of 20 year olds. Granted, each show footage is virtually identical; thousands of 110lb teens mouthing lyrics with Joey DeMaio strutting half naked while berating women - it is of course pure heavy metal. Some of the world tour clips feature full songs: “Heart of Steel”, “Manowar”, "Fighting the World” and “Kings of Metal” all make welcome appearances with the crowd making surprisingly articulate renditions of all the necessary choruses. Not bad for foreigners. The sound and audio quality is superb, and as a person who has seem Manowar, they DO put on a killer show with killer sound regardless of their childish, teen fantasy leanings. The tour footage does show the real passion for metal Manowar possess, they love the fans and they love music and are showmen and musicians that few bands today can compete with. Particularly memorable is Eric Adams' rendition of the classic opera piece “Nesum Dorma” (From the Warriors of the World album). It cements the fact that Adams, no matter what you think of his cheesy metal brotherhood musings, IS a great singer. Watching the DVD's final tribute to their fans, it's obvious that Manowar truly live the metal lifestyle to the fullest, and want their fans to do likewise. DVD 2 is divided into 2; A complete live set from Cologne, Germany complete with the usual crowd pleasers, including a German rendition of “Hail and Kill”, in between song banter and their signature set closer “The Crown and the Ring”. It’s a great collection of tunes delivered flawlessly and with the band's usual machismo. The rest of the second DVD is videos for various Manowar tracks (“Courage”, “I Believe”, “Gloves of Metal”, “Return of the Warlord”, “Warriors of the World United”). And while the studio gloss makes for a different aspect of Manowar, the sterile (and for their older videos, downright terrible) production values don’t match Manowar’s stage presence and energy. With their epic themes, I would have expected larger budget movie type videos rather than the surprisingly low budget studio shots and synthetics. The bonus material covers the makings of the various videos as well as a full tongue in cheek historical documentary, the full “Ringfest” documentary, and a rather impressive fan submitted animated cartoon for “The Warriors Prayer”; nothing really spectacular, but certainly interesting to the die-hard fan. This is certainly a must have DVD for Manowar fans: it contains everything to amuse for hours and gives some insight into the band behind the loincloth. Like it or not, Manowar are in fact cornerstones of heavy metal, no matter the amount of ridicule they attract. Hail and Kill. Production: 5/6 Overall: 5/6 |

Warlord
|
Metal u venama..zilama...krvi. Odjeca, nacin odjevanja, motori, lanci, koza - i svjetonazor su za Manowar jednaki samo metalu. Velicaju tu glazbu, sam metal koji se nalazi u mnogim kemijskim elemntima...kao zivu prirodu; te velicaju stare Bogove koji su bili vezani uz metal. Oni su borci protiv svijeta. You have to kill to stay alive kaze jedan pametan covjek...jer kad malo bolje razmislite tako nazalost i je. Ubijas za hranu...ubijes djevojci srce kad ju ostavis..ali moras ici dalje, mora se zivjeti nekako. Manowar zapravo pricaju pricu o zivotu da treba biti slobodan - jer jednom se zivi..i disati zivot punim plucima. Oni nikada nece ostariti u dusi..uvijek ce biti mladi. Onaj tko nece raditi ono sto zeli sa srcem, nece ni bit sretan. A jedina covjekova zadaca u zivotu je da bude sretan. 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. |

Bridge of Death
|
Ovo je pjesma o čovjeku koji se okrene protiv Boga zbog razočaranosti ljudskim rodom. Sad netreba ovo shvatiti da su Manowar kao sotonisti..jer je ovo samo priča o jednom čovjeku..jer pokazat ce se u kasnijim blogovima...da su oni vise white metal bend. Adams briljira na vokalu..zavrsetak je jedan od najimpresivnijih Manowarovih djela. Veličine kao Slayerov Raining Blood ili Metallicin One. Kao posveta samome vragu sa toliko emocije i srca, Adams izvlaci dusu iz sebe..perfektan i snazan zavrsetak. Zasto je Manowar najtrue bend ikada? Zato jer oni u svoje pjesme unose 100% sebe, 100% svoju iskrenost i osjećaje...i to se osjeti odmah. Oni nikada neće pogaziti svoju riječ..nikada se neće prodati kao npr. Metallica..i bit će zanimljivo vidjeti njihove buduće albume. Kakva je to svijest u njihovim glavama...kakva veličina..nevjerojatno. Kako bih volio pričati s tim ljudima! 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. |

Blood Of The Kings
|
Blood Of The Kings je pjesma o vaznosti vladajuceg, znaci kralja, i kraljevstva. Ovdje se i slavi Manowar kao i njegov svijet koji je uz njega. Cesto Manowar u svojim pjesmama spominju nazive ili djelove iz proslih svojih djela. Ponovno se slavi metal i dodiruju se povijesni aspekti, barem samo spominjanjem nekih drzava.. Tu se i vidi najbolje da su teme kod Manowara pretezno power metal teme, ako se za taj smjer uopce moze reci da je to on i zbog svojih tema. Heavy metal baziran na Sabbathima i new wave of british heavy metal, slican dosta Judas Priestu. Manowar su skup odlicnih glazbenika koji znaju perfektno pogoditi u dusu kao sa snaznim krikom 'Til The Blood On Your Sword Is The Blood Of The King..za mene najosjecajniji bend svih vremena. Brothers The Battle Is Raging Choose Your Side Sing With Us The BATTLE HYMNS INTO GLORY RIDE HAIL TO ENGLAND THE SIGN OF THE HAMMER's Our Guide Forever We're FIGHTING THE WORLD Side By Side On A Crusade The World We Bring Four Kings Of Metal Four Metal Kings Death To The False Ones Dance On A String 'Til The Blood On Your Sword Is The Blood Of The King 'Til The Blood On Your Sword Is The Blood Of The King Our Armies In England, Ireland, Scotland And Wales Our Brothers In Belgium, Holland And France Will Not Fail Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Italy Switzerland, Austria Back To The Glory Of Germany On A Crusade The World We Bring Four Kings Of Metal Four Metal Kings Death To The False Ones Dance On A String 'Til The Blood On Your Sword Is The Blood Of The King 'Til The Blood On Your Sword Is The Blood Of The King Sound The DEATH TONE On Our MARCH FOR REVENGE Spill THE BLOOD OF MY ENEMIES THE OATH Of A Friend Fight The HOLY WAR For THE CROWN AND THE RING Six Magic Circles Made By The BLOOD OF THE KINGS Wherever We Ride It's Metal We Bring Four Kings Of Metal Four Metal Kings Death To The False Ones Dance On A String 'Til The Blood On Your Sword Is The Blood Of The King 'Til The Blood On Your Sword Is The Blood Of The King Blood Of A King |

The Warriors Prayer
|
Ovo je zapravo pripovijetka bez glazbe. Zanimljivo je da je stavljena i na kompilaciju The Hell Of Steel - Best Of Manowar (1994). Prica prije spavanja koju djed prica unuku...prica o molitvi ratnika za kojih je metal kao zlato, jer metal je za te ratnike znacio sve u njihovoj borbi; bio je njihovo sredstvo izrazavanja svojih puteva u pobjede ili poraze. Metalom se izradivalo orude, oruzje i tako dalje. Metal je za njih bio svetinja. To je molitva koja ih cini velikima u pobjedu i porazu. - Grand Father, Tell Me A Story! - All Right, 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 Sounds 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, Atoned The Armies Of The World, Standing, Waiting. I Thought To Myself, For Whom Or For What Are They Waiting ? Suddenly A Gust Of Wind Come Up From The North There Appeared A Lone Rider, Holding A Sword Of Steel. Then From The South Came Another, Bearing A Battle Axe. 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 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 Ride. They Met The Armies Of The World With A Mighty Clash! I Could Feel The Groundshake, The Earth Drank Much Blood That Day. Each Of The Four, Was Into 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 Battle Field, Like Brown Leaves Blown By The Wind. And I Saw The For 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 Fat 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!!!!! |

Hail To England
|
Opcinjenost povijescu, kraljevima i kraljicama te dogadajima koji su obiljezili covjekov put dominiraju Manowarovim pjesmama. U ovoj pjesmi govori se o povratku na pocetke. Jer Manowar su Amerikanci 20.st. i shvacaju i stuju kao mjeto svog rodenja, svog pocetka Englesku...od kamo su masovno ljudi prelazili Antlantik i naseljavali Sjevernu Ameriku.. Raise sails head for the open sea With sails full of wind-our hearts Overflowwith belief. The quest for the grail to England We sail,with our steel.We Bring what was lost.If Lives are the cost,let it be. Strong she stands-reaching her Hand.Brave and grant.On English Ground-we were born.Proudly We return.-To English shore. Hail,Hail to England- Hail,Hail,Hail. We march from the hills Down to London Town.- Join Raise you hand-or hide When we ride for the crown. Signs of the hammer and The black winds blow through The night.Long was out wait Our meetings with Fate is tonight. Strong she stands-reaching her Hand.Brave and grand.On English Ground-we were born.Proudly We return.-To english shore. Hail, Hail to England- Hail,Hail,Hail. Standind tall-one and all- Light the hall. Years have passed-I've dreamed of this day. As we raise our hands-we proudly say. Hail,Hail to England- Hail,Hail,Hail. |

Achilles, Agony And Ecstasy In Eight Parts
|
Manowar obozavaju povijest i cesto se vracaju u povijest svojim pjesmama. Makar ne preizravno u vecini svojih pjesama, utjecaj borbi i bitaka kroz povijest covjecanstva je prevelik. Cak se to najvise moze osjetiti na monumentalnim uvodima i zavrsecima njihovih pjesama. Mozda potaknuti i Maidenovom "The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner", odlucili su napraviti svoj epski spjev. Ushit, slava, ponos, borba, krv, hrabrost. Ovo je legendarni epski spjev od 28,38 minuta! Legenda o Hectoru, Andromedi i Ahilu...koje se prisjecamo i iz skolskih klupa :) PRELUDE I. HECTOR STORMS THE WALL See my chariot run to your ships I'll drive you back in 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 Zeus today is mine Killing all in my way Like sheep and like eattle Smashing skulls of all who defy I spake not the hammer I spake 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 PATROCLUS 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 blood is spilled His bones will all be broken Dragged across the field This dear 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 inside the walls of Troy, 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 in the Gods almighty will I hear the silent voices I cannot hide The Gods leave no choices so we all must die Oh Achilles let my arrows fly Into the wind, where eagles cross the sky Today my mortal blood will mix with sand it was Foretold I will die by my hand Into Hades my soul descend VI. DEATH HECTOR'S REWARD Cowards in the grid of fear, no valor to uphold Cut into the Earth, will honour 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 I was born to bring, my birth I'm an assassin To cut the cord of life and death Ties to Earth unfasten Blood and fire death and hate, your body I will desecrate Dogs and vultures eat your flesh the hall the Hades waits Kill ... Hector's blood 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, steadfast in direction I fall upon your bringing death, the Gods give no protection Coward in the grip of fear, no valor to uphold Cut into the Earth, will honor long been sold For all shall come to know me, as they fall unto their Knees Zeus the thunderer, control my destiny Blood and fire death and hate, your body I will desecrate Dogs and vultures eat your flesh the hall of Hades waits Die die die die ... VII. THE DECREATION OF HECTOR'S BODY PART 1 PART 2 VIII. THE GLORY OF ACHILLES The oath of the Gods, this day was fulfilled In the hear of the battle, Hector was killed See him Patroclus, down in the dust Rejoice in his death my aymbol of trust A dozen highborn youths, have been killed Cutting their throats their blood was all spilled Their bodies set at the foot of your fire With oxen , sheep and two of yours 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 promise fulfilled More blood will be spilled, more will be killed |

March For Revenge
|
Sa albuma Into Glory Ride dolazi nam jos jedna himna. Tipcina Manowarova ratna budnica. Opisuje se put u borbu. Borbu i osvetu. Borba za slobodu, put ka smrti koju se gleda ravno u oci. Simbolicno zvuci ova zadnja recenica, zar ne? He..u tome i je velicina Manowarove umjetnosti. Moze li svijet biti slobodan....ili nas cekaju novi ratovi i smrti? Zapitajte se malo i sami... Govori se o moci, ponosu, volji i srcu. Jel samo sreca prati hrabre, i da bi covjek u necemu uspio mora se truditi...mora pokusavati...i sto je najvazije, uciniti to sa srcem. Jer svaka stvar koja se ucini sa srcem, makar to i bilo nesto protiv Bozje volje; (kao sto je to ovdje osveta) bit ce blagoslovljena Bozjom voljom. Pjesma na kraju podsjeca i na cuvenu baladu Simona And Garfunkela, Bridge Over Troubled Water stihovima "For when we march, your sword rides with me" kao snaga jedinstva tih putnika cija srce nikad nece napustiti jedno drugo; koji ponosno koracaju u svoje ideale pravde 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. |

Defender
|
Zanimljivo je da je Manowar uvijek na pocetcima karijere bio redovito popljuvan od strane kritike. Nakon izlaska prvog albuma i obrade "William's Tale" kritika je proglasila bend kao salu. Nakon tih pocetnih albuma svaki puta se desio razlaz sa diskografskom kucom. Cak je i metalni svijet podijeljen i danas se desavaju prepirke. Jeli Manowar zapravo bezveze i zatucano razmisljanje ili bend koji svira ono sto voli i vjeruje u svoje ideale. Ako se mene pita, ovo drugo. Jer Manowari pisu zapravo zivotnu pricu svih nas...to se moze reflektirati na stotine nacina i ljudi zbog velike simbolicnosti u pjesmama. A zapravo se bore protiv danasnjih zabluda i trulezi u svijetu. Pjesme su tuzne kao i Balaseviceve ali nisu bas toliko nalik na price i daju uz tuzni ton i ton koji oslobada neki adrenalin pomijesan sa tugom. Manowar se ne miri sa sudbinom kao i Balasevic. Pjesme u Balasevicevoj vidu buducnosti su nedefinirane...napravljene su bezvremenski. Ovdje se zna kod vise pjesmama od Balasevicevih sto je i sto ceka. Pjesme su iskrene, zvuce gotovo poput ispovijedi...neki bi rekli da je cak ovo i white metal iliti Krscanski metal. Cuo sam mnogo, mnogo izvodaca...i mnogo me njih dirnulo; ali Manowar ima najosjecajnije pjesme od svih! Ovo je pjesma Defender When you are old enough to read this words Their meaning will unfold These words all that's left And though we've never meet, my only son I hope you know That I would have been there to watch you grow But my call was heard and I did go Now your mission lies ahead of you As it did mine so long ago To help the helpless ones who all look up to you And to defend them so the end Defender Ride like the wind Fight proud, my son You're the defender God has sent Father,father,father I look up to you and heed thy call This letter ends my search I'll live your dream now passed on to me And I now wait to shake the hand of fate Like the dusk awaiting dawn So wizards cast your spell With no heart to do me well So it's written,it shall be Defender Ride like the wind Fight proud, my son You're the defender God has sent |

The Crown And The Ring
|
Ovo je jedna od najosjecajnijih pjesama svih vremena sto se mene tice. Kao ispovijed pred smrt, prihvacajuci nemilosrdnu buducnost, covjek - Manowar je pun snage i odrijesenosti. Ludilo zivota prevladat ce u takvom covjeku vecem od zivota. Gorak ogus gorcine, tuge, pomijesane sa mrznjom u srcu istice covjeka koji se bori za svoja razmisljanja, sa svoj stav koji je posten i dobronamjeran u njegovim okvirima zivota. I koliko god ga zivot nije stedio, on se nikada nece predati, niti ce posustati, cak ni pred smrcu. Monumentalni bubnjevi i zbor docaravaju himnu, himnu ponosa i slave. Ova pjesma ima tuznu crtu i pomirenje sa sudbinom - "I Hail You Now As I Die". Ova pjesma je na neki nacin oprostaj...oprostaj sa ponosom na svoje djelo u nepravednom svijetu...kao sto bi Baudelaire rekao "..Sto nas ponosnima, kao Bogovima cini!" Snaga ove ispovijedi je u simbolici, jer se moze prenositi na svakog covjeka, jer svaki covjek je borac. I iako Manowar nema kao pjesnika jednog Baudelairea, pa ni taj dijapazon shvacanja, oni sadrze tu simboliku koja taj bend cini posebnim. 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 |
