Ridin' on two wheels Chains hooked on my heels Sittin' on 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 Now, you were sittin' home And I got sent to Nam I went to the big house You just worked at job Hear me calling can't you hear my death tone Hear me calling can't you hear my death tone Hear me ride on into the night pull along side If you're looking for a fight My social worker's got me on a chain Keeps me out of jail so the paper prints his name Yes it 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 Hear me calling can't you hear my death tone Hear me calling can't you hear my death tone Hear me ride on into the night pull along side If you're looking for a fight

I hear the sound in a metal way I feel the power rolling on the stage 'Cause only one thing really sets me free Heavy metal, loud as it can be Baby I was born to play music I am a man with a screaming guitar There's a light in a middle of the stage And in a minute I'll be wearing it all I don't know another way of living Man I couldn't really care Give me a pair of jeans and a riff that's mean And girls that love to share Heavy metal, metal daze Heavy metal, heavy metal daze Heavy metal, heavy metal daze Living like there's no tomorrow Yeah Currie says we're on the edge He said man you're really graffic This bands a social wedge Yeah we all got hearts made of metal And our blood is hot molten rock And If I don't hear the sound of metal I go into shock Heavy metal, metal daze Heavy metal, heavy metal daze Heavy metal, heavy metal daze So mister D. J. play just one for me You know the one with the crashin' and the screams 'Cause only one thing really sets me free Heavy metal loud as it can be Heavy metal, metal daze Heavy metal, heavy metal daze Heavy metal, heavy metal daze

I don't know Well there's no charge for the haircut And the bullets come free My Uncle Sam sent a letter, said: He's 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 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 Feels funny riding in my car Used to drive a tank and shoot a B.A.R. I know I'm home But I feel gone,gone, yeah gone Now it's over and the homeland's safe Got a purple heart to show the world I'm brave The businessmen sat home Well I got shell shocked

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 Oooh, Manowar Born to live forever more 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 Oooh, Manowar Born to live forever more The right to conquer every shore Hold your ground and give no more

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, See's his life 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 above The elders sing, On his land they live Let death's bell ring 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 you not pass abandon return to the world from once you came And seek payment not only for thy known 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 up on his journey back to the upper world They brought forth their Demon horse called Black Death A grim steed so fiercely might and black in colour That he could stand as one with the darkness Save from 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 slow dead there I take their wives and daughters They stand there watching, watching Hoping to get my life but when I'm through they know they must pay Burning, death, destruction raping the daughters and wives In blood I take my payment in full with their lives

By moonlight we ride ten thousands side by side With swords drawn held high our whips and armour shine Hail to thee our infantry still brave beyond the grave All sworn the eternal vow 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 In the light of the battle's way the sands of time will shake How proud our soldiers stand with mace and chain in hand Sound of charge into glory ride over the top of their vanguished pride Victory, victory Victory, victory Victory, victory Victory, victory To the battle we ride we crossed a starlit sky No space no time we'll 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 By moonlight we ride Ten thousand side by side Kill, kill, kill, kill Kill, kill, kill, kill

Ridin' on two wheels Chains hooked on my heels Sittin' on 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 Now, you were sittin' home And I got sent to Nam I went to the big house You just worked at job Hear me calling can't you hear my death tone Hear me calling can't you hear my death tone Hear me ride on into the night pull along side If you're looking for a fight My social worker's got me on a chain Keeps me out of jail so the paper prints his name Yes it 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 Hear me calling can't you hear my death tone Hear me calling can't you hear my death tone Hear me ride on into the night pull along side If you're looking for a fight
