FIGHTING THE WORLD - MANOWAR


"Fighting The World"



Fight, fight, fight

Fighting the World every single day                    

Fighting the World for the right to play

Heavy Metal in my brain

I'm fighting for Metal cause it's here to stay



Fighting, fighting, fighting the World                   

I been fighting the World

Fighting, fighting, fighting the World

Fight for a living-Fighting the World

Fight for a living-Fighting the World

Fight for a living-Fighting the World

Fight                                                  



Now people keep asking if we're going to change

I look'em in the eye

Tell'em no way

Strips on a tiger don't wash away

Manowar's made of steel not clay



Fighting,fighting,fighting the World

I been figthing the World

Fighting,fighting,fighting the World

I been figthing



Fight for a living-Fighting the World

Fight for a living-Fighting the World

Fight for a living-Fighting the World

Only got one thing in our mind

Radio playing this nation wide

Turn it up louder'til we all get fried



Fighting,fighting,fighting the World

I been figthing the World

Fighting,fighting,fighting the World

I been figthing

Fight-Fighting the World

Fight-Fighting the World

Fight-Fighting the World

Fight for a living-Fighting the World



"Blow Your Speakers"                  



Wrote a letter to the M.T.V.                           

What's goin' on now

Don't ya care about me

Sent the same letter to the radio,

But my party went dead

Like a shot in the head

We all like it-Rock and Roll

We all want it-On your show

Play it loud,don't play it low

Blow your speakers with Rock and Roll



We got lots of stations

Around the nation

And the stuff they're playing

It just ain't worth my sayin'

People want music to get'em movin'

We don't want labels

We want music on the table



We all like it-Rock and Roll

We all want it-on your show

Play it loud,don't play it low

Blow your speakers with Rock and Roll



We all like it-Rock and Roll

We all want it-on your show

Play it loud,don't play it low

Blow your speakers with Rock and Roll



We got lots of stations

Around the nation

And the stuff they're playing

It just ain't worth my sayin'



We all like it-Rock and Roll

We all want it-on your show                            

Play it loud,don't play it low

Blow your speakers with Rock and Roll                  



"Carry On"



The north star always guides me

When winter skies are gray

And I wait for sun when all are one

I shall not betray

Calling at me

I'm waiting when all are led astray



Carry on my sons forever

Carry On when I am gone

Carry On when the day is long

Forever Carry On

For as long as we're together

Then forever Carry On



Darkness all around us

We don't close our eyes

No one's gonna ground us

We were burn to fly

Comin'at us no stopping

Born to amplify



Carry on my sons forever

Carry On when I am gone

Carry On when the day is long

Forever Carry On

For as long as we're together

Then forever Carry On



Yea,be my brother

Fight to stay alive

All the world can't change us

With all their burned-out jive

Come get us  now we're waiting

We won't run and hide



Carry on my sons forever

Carry On when I am gone

Carry On when the day is long

Forever Carry On

For as long as we're together

Then forever Carry On



Now we're all together

Let's sing a fighting song

One hundred thousand riders

We can't all be wrong

Comin'at us no stopping

Always Carry On



Carry on my sons forever

Carry On when I am gone

Carry On when the day is long

Forever Carry On

For as long as we're together

Then forever Carry On



"Violence And Bloodshed"



Civilization crumblin' fast

End the world with a blast

People afraid walking the streets

Scums have their day

'Til they run into me



Are you ready?



Livin' in fear ain't livin' to me

I'am armed with a gun defending the free

They blew it in Nam shot up my friends

I'm back in the streets the fight never ends



I was born with a gun in my hand

I'll die for my country

But I'll die like a man

Violence and Bloodsheed

Violence and Bloodsheed

Violence and Bloodsheed



Now we're back to animal law

The payback's a bitch and I'm paying all

All my life I been waitin'to see

Who's gonna win crumbs or me



Are you ready



My brother's still in Da-Nang

Puttin'an ad in the back of Kerrang

I'm looking for people who just wanna kill

We'll go back the Nam cause no one else will



Land of the free

Home of the brave

Now that's how it is

And that's how it stays



Violence and Bloodsheed

Violence and Bloodsheed

Violence and Bloodsheed



"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 to 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



"Holy War"



Damnation, Religion, Salvation, Fire and steel



I have seen the fire

Of a thousand suns pass by

While blasphemers fill the air

Bearing false witness

Now we rise

All ye children of the wild

Fists like hammers fill the air

Vast legions all immortal

Smash the stilness everywhere



Holy,Holy War



Holy

We are fighting,figthing a Holy War

Holy War

See us fly on winds of doom

Holy War

Baptized in fire and steel

Holy War

For the end we bring is soon

Holy War

Now face the storm

A Holy War



Brothers of metal know no masters

Metal's our religion

Take it to the grave

Rulers of the earth

Our down of glory

All Reborn,we live again.

Hold true,ye sacred army

Our last battle is at hand

Sweep these dogs from our kingdom

Bless this ground, our holy land.



Holy,Holy War



Holy

We are fighting,figthing a Holy War

Holy Way

See us fly on winds of doom

Holy War

Baptized in fire and steel

Holy War

For the end we bring is soon

Holy War

Now face the storm

A Holy War



"Master Of Revenge"



Black Dogs howl in the Night

The lion is dead

A solitary Messenger

The Master of Revenge





"Black Wind, Fire And Steel"

Full moon light is calling me

My kigndom lies within

The mystic soul and lions heart

Brought by the talisman

The ecstasy of battle takes me

Where the falcons fly

Immortal youth was granted me

I will never die



Born of Black wind fire and steel

Born of Black wind fire and steel

Born to teach them all to heel

Born of Black wind fire and steel



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

Born of 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



Born of Black wind fire and steel

Born of Black wind fire and steel

Born to teach them all to heel

Born of Black wind fire and steel
