WHEELS OF FIRE (4:11)
Since the dawn of time
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 (3.43)
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 kins of metal comin' to town
When we light up have the roof malled 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 (5:10)
Build a fire a thousands miles away to light my long
Way home
I ride a commet
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 bold
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 (4:46)
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 (3:55)
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
Fell the white light
The light within
Yea it burns a tire 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 rightfull are waiting
But all are not rightfull
Wait and receive the weight of the fall
Kingdom come
PLEASURE SLAVE (CD BONUS TRACK ONLY) (5:37)
She waiting to kiss my hand
But she will wait for my command
My chains and collar brought her to her knees
She now is free to please
Woman, be my slave
That's your reason to live
Woman, be my slave
The greatest gift I can give
Woman, be my slave
Before her surrender she had no life
Now she's a slave, not a wife
Her only sorrow is for women who live with lies
She's taken off her disguise
Woman, be my slave
Chained unto my bed
Woman, be my slave
Begging to be led
Your body belongs to me
Woman come here
Remove your garments
Kneel before me
Please me
Woman, be my slave
Chained unto my bed
Woman, be my slave
Begging to be led
HAIL AND KILL (5:54)
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 diving 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 diving 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 diving right hail and kill
Hail Hail Hail and Kill,Hail and Kill
THE WARRIORS PRAYER (4:20)
Grandfather tell me a story
Allright 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
I was my thirteenth year on a cold winter's
day as I walk 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 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 |||||||||||
