1. 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

I been fighting

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

See my brother standing by my side

Only got one thing on ever mind

Radio`s playing this nation wide

Turn it up louder till we all get fright

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

Fight – Fighting the World

Fight for a living – Fighting the World

2. Blow Your Speakers

Wrote a letter to the M.T.V.

What`s goin` on now

Don`t ya care about me ?

Send 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 playin`

It just ain`t worth sayin`

People want music to get`em movin`

We don`t want labels

We want music on the cable

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 want it

We all want it – on your show

Play it loud don`t play it low

Blow Your Speakers with Rock And Roll

We got lotsa stations

Around the nation

And the stuff they`re playin`

It just ain`t worth 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

3. Carry On

The north star always guides me

When winter skies are gray

And I wait for the sun when all ate 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 for when the day is long

Forever Carry On

For as long as we together

Then forever Carry On

Darkness all around us

We don`t close our eyes

No one`s gonna ground us

We were born to fly

Comin` at us no stopping

Born to amplify

Carry On my sons forever

Carry On when I am gone

Carry On for when the day is long

Forever Carry On

For as long as we 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 ride and hide

Carry On my sons forever

Carry On when I am gone

Carry On for when the day is long

Forever Carry On

For as long as we 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 for when the day is long

Forever Carry On

For as long as we together

Then forever Carry On

4. Violence And Bloodshed

Civilization crumblin` fast

End the world with a blast

People afraid walkin` the streets

Scums have their day

`Til they run into me

Are you ready ?

Livin` in fear ain`t livin to me

I`m armed with a gun defending the free

They blew it in `Nam

Shot up my friends

I`m back in the street

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 Bloodshed

Now that 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 lookin` for people who just wanna kill

We`ll go back to `Nam `cause no one else win

Land of the free

Home of the brave

Now that`s how it is

And that`s how it stays

Violence and Bloodshed

5. 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 sun

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 my 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

6. Drums Of Doom

Damnation, Religion

Salvation, Fire Ad Steel

7. Holy War

I have seen the fire

Of the thousands 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 stillness everywhere

Holy, Holy War

Holy

We are fighting, fighting 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 dawn 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, fighting 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

8. Master Of Revenge

Black Dogs howl in the night

The Lion is dead!

A Solitary Messenger

The Master of Revenge

9. Black Wind, Fire And Steel

Fool 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.

Immortal youth was granted me

I will never die.

Born of Black Wind, Fire and Steel

Born to teach them all to heel

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 to teach them all to heel

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 to teach them all to heel

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 to teach them all to heel

Black Wind, Fire and Steel.
