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 fightin' for Metal 'cause it's here to stay

   Fighting fighting fighting the world
   I been fighting the world
   Fighting fighting fighting the world
   I been fighting

      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!
Stripes on a tiger don't wash away
Manowar's made of steel not clay

   Fighting fighting fighting the world
   I been fighting the world
   Fighting fighting fighting the world
   I been fighting

      Fight for a living- Fighting the world
      Fight for a living- Fighting the world
      Fight for a living- Fighting the world
      Fight Yea!
 

See my brother standing by my side
Only got one thing on our mind
Radio playing this nationwide
Turn it up louder 'til we all get fried

   Fighting fighting fighting the world
   I been fighting the world
   Fighting fighting fighting the world
   I been fighting

Fight - Fighting the world
Fight - Fighting the world
Fight - Fighting the world
Fight - Fighting the world

      Fight for a living - Fighting the world
      Fight for a living - Fighting the world
      Fight for a living - Fighting the world
 
 
 
Blow your Speakers

I Wrote a letter
To the M.T.V.
What's goin' on?
Don't ya care about me?
Sent the same letter
To the radio, Ha!
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

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
 

   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
Carry on carry on
Forever carry on
Carry on carry on
Forever carry on
Carry on carry on
Forever carry on
Carry on carry on
Forever carry on         (No no no)
Carry on carry on
Forever carry on         (Carry on carry on)
Carry on carry on         (Carry on)
Forever carry on
Carry on carry on
Forever carry on
Carry on carry on
Forever carry on
Carry on 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
Shut 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
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
Are 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

   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
Yeeeah

Defender

   Ride like the wind
   Fight proud, my son
   You're the defender
   God has sent

   Ride like the wind
   Fight proud, my son
   You're the defender
   God has sent

   Ride like the wind
   Fight proud, my son
   You're the defender
   God has sent

   Ride like the wind
   Fight proud, my son
   You're the defender
   God has sent

   Ride like the wind
   Fight proud, my son
   You're the defender
   God has sent

   Ride like the wind
   Fight proud, my son
   You're the defender

Holy War

Damnation, religion, salvation, fire and steel
Damnation, religion, salvation, fire and steel
Damnation, religion, salvation, fire and steel

I have seen the fire
Of a thousand suns pass by
While blasphemers spread their Gospel
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 we 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 this dogs from our kingdom
Bless this ground, our holy land

   Holy, Holy War

      Holy
      We are fighting, figthing a Holy War

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 the 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
 

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
   Black wind fire and steel
   Black wind fire and steel
   Black wind fire and steel
   Born to teach them all to heel
   Black wind fire and steel
   Born of black wind fire and steel
   Black wind fire and steel
   Born to teach them all to heel
   Black wind fire and steel
   Black wind fire and steel
   Black wind fire and steel
   Born to teach them all to heel
   Born of black wind  fire  and steeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel
