Ridin' on two wheels Chains hooked on my heels Sittin' in leather Ridin' on steel Put my shades on Hair blows in the wind I give some square the finger Now, he won't look again... no he won't [Pre-Chorus]: You were sittin' home and I got sent to Nam, I went to the big house You just worked a job [Chorus]: Hear me comin' can't you hear my Death Tone Hear me comin' can't you hear my Death Tone Hear me ride on into the night Pull along side if you're lookin' for a fight Hey, hey, hey My social worker's got me on a chain Keeps me out of jail so the paper prints his name Yes he does, and he likes it. Unemployment checks run out next week It won't be very long 'til I'm back on the streets again [Pre-Chorus] Now, you were sittin' home and I got sent to Nam, I went to the big house You just worked a job [Chorus] Hear me comin' can't you hear my Death Tone Hear me comin' can't you hear my Death Tone Hear me ride on into the night Pull along side if you're lookin' for a fight Hey, hey, hey Death Tone Death Tone Gonna ride on my Death Tone... Yes I am I'm gonna ride on you tonight

I got it!! Well there's no charge for the haircut And the bullets come free My Uncle Sam sent a letter, said: He got a mission for me Now I'm a ranger, not a stranger And I live in Saigon We've got a team of special forces And we deliver napalm [Bridge]: But if they tell you that I've lost my mind Maybe it's not gone just a little hard to find About the time this letter gets home I'll be gone, gone, yeah gone And if they tell you that I'm M.I.A. Think a little less about me each day 'Cause if I ever get back I'll be Shell Shocked ooh oh Shell Shocked Yeaaah Feels funny riding in my car Used to drive a tank and shoot a B.A.R.

We met on English ground In a backstage room we heard the sound And we all knew what we had to do We called the high command Requested leave to make a stand And in the field we grew And we all knew Soon the time would come for us to fight Destination now in sight [Chorus]: Oooh, Manowar, born to live for evermore The right to conquer every shore Hold your ground and give no more Our fight will never end So we called on partisans to raise your hands And take our stand Look sharp when duty calls Where we march cities fall And the strong survive And take our side Now the time has come for us to fight Target waiting in our sights [Chorus] Oooh, Manowar, born to live for evermore The right to conquer every shore Hold your ground and give no more Manowar, born to live for evermore The right to conquer every shore Manowar, born to live for evermore Manowar, born to live for evermore The right to conquer every shore Hold your ground and give no more Born to live for evermore The right to conquer every shore MANOWAR

He broke the laws of the Elders So they plucked out his eye, Took his land and fortune Left him to die Bound on the shoreline Left for the tide, Sees his life's blood leaving Circling lower the vultures fly. These bones may be broken But the spirit can't die, And the Gods see his anguish And give him a sign From the floor of the ocean The ship of the lost souls rise, And they take him Where no one sleeps while the undead cry Where no one sleeps while the undead cry. And in the world of above The Elders sing, On his land they live Let death's bell ring. [Narration]: He was met at the Gate of Hades By the guardian of the lost souls The keeper of the Unavenged And he did say to him: "Let ye not pass Abbadon, return to the world from whence ye came And seek payment not only for thine own anguish, but vindicate the souls of the Unavenged" And they placed in his hands a sword made for him called Vengeance, Forged in brimstone and tempered by the woeful tears of the Unavenged And to carry him on his journey back to the upper world, They brought forth their Demon horse called Black Death A grim steed so fearsome in might and black in colour That he could stand as one with the darkness Save for his burning eyes of crimson fire And on that night they rode up from Hell, The pounding of his hooves did clap like thunder Burning, death, destruction Raping the daughters and wives In blood I take my payment In full with their lives No one can escape me On Black Death I ride When kissed by the sword of Vengeance Your head lays there by your side I take the lives of all that I once knew, The torn flesh of a slow death waits for you Burning, death, destruction, Raping the daughters and wives In blood I take my payment In full with their lives I spare not land or servants My wake is smoke and flame I take their wives and daughters They stand there watching, watching Hoping to gain their lives, But when I'm through They know that they must pay Burning, death, destruction, Raping the daughters and wives In blood I take my payment In full with their lives with their lives with their lives

By moonlight we ride, ten thousand side by side. With swords drawn held high, our whips and armor shine. Hail to thee, our infantry, still brave beyond the grave. All sworn the eternal vow and the time to strike is now. Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill. Gone are the days when freedom shone, now blood and steel meet bone. And in the light of the battle's wake the sands of time will shake. And how proud our soldiers stand with mace and chain in hand. Sound the charge, into glory ride over the top of their vanquished pride Victory, victory, victory, victory, victory, victory, victory, victory. To the battle we ride, we crossed a starlit sky, no space and no time and we will catch the wind. Strange losses, men died, we crossed a starlit sky and still no space and time, we'll catch the wind. Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill. Sound the charge, into glory ride over the top of their vanquished pride. And by moonlight we ride, the ten thousand side by side. Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill.
