1. The Demon's Whip (retail / radio edit)
Black candles slowly burning, white fangs and flashing eyes
Hell's wind and incantations summon living fire,
Darkest forces and your demon's black order, black king
The cult that serves the living, accept this offering
Black candles slowly burning, white fangs and flashing eyes
Hell's wind and incantations summon living fire,
As the seven steps await, hear the great bell toll
With a dead man's bones conjure, the enemy of the soul
From the misery and sadness, of the molten seas of hell
Mystic love and mystic symbols in evil dreams there dwell
Darkest forces and your demon's black order, black king
The cult that serves the living, accept this offering
A deadly drink, a meal of hearts, now sacrifice and die
In darkness and destruction, behold the evil eye
And the Demon's whip
Armies of the gods of hell ride across the astral plane
Bearing curses of destruction, sworn beyond the grave
Children of the darkness, all born but to deceive
By the ancient code of evil grant not one reprieve
In the place where evil dwells death can live when all life dies
Wage eternal war on heaven immortal hate below the sky
Your scripture and your sermons, are leaves born on the wind
To heal the unrepentant one needs a greater sin
Night winds, Oblivion see my dark desire
Come forth, appear he is living fire
Feel the Demon's whip
Armies of the gods of hell ride across the astral plane
Bearing curses of destruction, sworn beyond the grave
Children of the darkness, all born but to deceive
By the ancient code of evil grant not one reprieve
In the place where evil dwells death can live when all life dies
Wage eternal war on heaven immortal hate below the sky
Your scripture and your sermons, are leaves borne on the wind
To heal the unrepentant one needs a greater sin
Feel the Demon's whip
2. Ride the Dragon
Demon's blood and dragon fire, falling on my wings
Racing to the battle in the sky
Ancient gods are calling me I hear them when they sing
Of all the heores who wait for me to die
Beneath the cloak of magic, I'll meet them in the air
I am invisible, I move without a sound
They look but cannot find me, they think that I'm not there
With a spell I send them crashing to the ground
Wait for me dragon, we'll meet in the sky by fire and magic I am sworn
Hell is calling! We cannot be denied fly to the blackness of the storm
We must die to be reborn
I wear a sacred talisman, I make a secret sign
Now welcome me into this wicked wind
On the journey of a shaman a dragon I must ride
The gates of hell are open! Let me in!
Rule in hell or serve in heaven choose an altar or throne
All Commandments and the laws of man disown
Now eat the fruit of knowledge unto no one ye atone
Into the fire with your soul!
Wait for me dragon, we'll meet in the sky by fire and magic I am sworn
Hell is calling! We cannot be denied fly to the blackness of the storm
We must die to be reborn
Demon's blood and dragon fire, falling on my wings
Racing to the battle in the sky
Ancient gods are calling me I hear them when they sing
Of all the heores who wait for me to die
Beneath the cloak of magic, I'll meet them in the air
I am invisible, I move without a sound
They look but cannot find me, they think that I'm not there
With a spell I send them crashing to the ground
Wait for me dragon, we'll meet in the sky by fire and magic I am sworn
Hell is calling! We cannot be denied fly to the blackness of the storm
We must die to be reborn
3. Metal Warriors
Every one of us has heard the call
Brothers of True Metal proud and standing tall
We know the power within us has brought us to this hall
there's magic in the metal there's magic in us all
Heavy metal or no metal at all whimps and posers leave the hall
Heavy metal or no metal at all whimps and posers go on get out
Leave the hall
Now the world must listen to our decree
We don't turn down for anyone we do just what we please
got to make it louder, all men play on ten
If you're not into metal, you are not my friend
Heavy metal or no metal at all whimps and posers leave the hall
Heavy metal or no metal at all whimps and posers I said
Leave the hall
Now the world must listen to our decree
We don't turn down for anyone we do just what we please
Got to make it louder, all men play on ten
If you're not into metal, you are not my friend
There's metal in the air tonite, can you hear it call
If you ain't got the balls, to take it you can
Leave the hall
Heavy metal or no metal at all whimps and posers leave the hall
Heavy metal or no metal at all whimps and posers leave the hall
4. Fighting the World

5. Kings of Metal
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 Manowars crowd
They wanna keep us down
But they can't last
When we get up
We're gonna kick your ass
Gonna keep on burning
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 crackerjack clothes
They wanna keep us down
But they can't last
When we get up
We're gonna kick your ass
Gonna keep on burning
We always will
Other bands play - Manowar kill
Other bands play - Manowar kill
We're the kings of metal comin' to town
When we light up have the roof nailed 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 burning
We always will
Other bands play - Manowar kill
Other bands play - Manowar kill
6. Defender
"When you are old enough to read these words
Their meaning will unfold
These words are all that's left
And though we've never met, my only son
I hope you know
That I would've 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 is written, it shall be
Defender
Ride like the wind
Fight proud my son
You're the Defender
God has sent
7. Black Wind, Fire and Steel
Full moon's light is calling me
My kingdom lies within
The mystic soul and lion's heart
Brought by the talisman
The ecstasy of battle takes me
Where the falcons fly
Imortal 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
Born of black wind, fire and steel
8. Blood of the Kings
Brothers, the battle is raging
Choose your side
Sing with us the Battle Hymns
Into Glory Ride
Hail To England
The Sign Of The Hammer's our guide
Forever we're Fighting The World
Side by side
On a crusade
The world we bring
Four kings of metal
Four metal kings
Death to the false ones
Dance on a string
Till the blood on your sword is the blood of a king
Till the blood on your hand is the blood of a king
Our armies in England, Scotland and Wales
Our brothers in Belgium, Holland and France will not fail
Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Italy
Switzerland, Austria
Back to the glory of Germany
On a crusade
The world we bring
Four kings of metal
Four metal kings
Death to the false ones
Dance on a string
Till the blood on your sword is the blood of a king
Till the blood on your hand is the blood of a king
Sound the Death Tone on our March For Revenge
Spill the Blood Of My Enemies, The Oath of a friend
Fight the Holy War for The Crown And The Ring
Six magic circles were made by the Blood Of The Kings
Wherever we ride
It's metal we bring
Four kings of metal
Four metal kings
Death to the false ones
Dance on a string
Till the blood on your sword is the blood of a king
Till the blood on your hand is the blood of a king
Sound the Death Tone on our March For Revenge
Spill the Blood Of My Enemies, The Oath of a friend
Fight the Holy War for The Crown And The Ring
Six magic circles were made by the Blood Of The Kings
Wherever we ride
It's metal we bring
Four kings of metal
Four metal kings
Death to the false ones
Dance on a string
Till the blood on your sword is the blood of a king
Till the blood on your hand is the blood of a king
