- Manowar5:23
Letra
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 - Kings of Metal3:33
Letra
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 Manowar's crowd They want to keep us down But they can't last When we get up we're gonna kick your ass Gonna keep on burnin' 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 want to rock not pose Wearin' jeans and leather, not cracker jack clothes They want to keep us down But they can't last When we get up we're gonna kick your ass Gonna keep on burnin' We always will Other bands play Manowar kill Other bands play Manowar kill We're the kings of metal commin' 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 want to keep us down But they can't last When we get up we're gonna kick your ass Gonna keep on burnin' We always will Other bands play Manowar kill - Kill With Power3:29
Letra
Hear what's written on the wind. We come to kill and kill again. Our arrows fall like hail Trample on the dead. - Ride through the Gate of clouds - stand on the open step. Run beserk - spreading fear and pain. Black shield and weapons, black our chain. None can harm us - not their fire - Iron or steel - for we have the Will to power - with power we will Kill. Kill with power - die die Kill with power - die die To the war god Odin you will pray. And the curse of weapons shall Remain. On the blood of all our Fathers - on their weapons we now Swear to avenge - not lament. Give the False ones death. Kill with power - die die Kill with power - die die - Sign of the Hammer4:51
Letra
The spell has been broken, the curse has been lifted Black is the wind on the heels Of the Gifted Four sworn to vengeance, See the hate in our eyes Called by the Gods, and given a sign Onward pounding Into Glory Ride Sign of the Hammer be my guide Final warning all stand aside Sign of the Hammer it's my time Pounding, pounding, we are back from the dead those who denied us are delivered instead Into the hands of Four sworn to ride Now the people will triumph and live by the sign - My Spirit Lives On4:25

- Blood of My Enemies4:22
Letra
Three sons have I, and they Ride by my side. The fierce, The black, and the wicked are Their names we ride down my Enemies on their half-hearted flight. No voice of mercy no evangels of light. Mighty messengers heathens rage Witness our coming gods of the dead. I ride through the air I laugh as I die with powers of evil Dark knowledge is mine. The ride of the wicked. The 1st sin was trust. Kill without warning for blood now I lust. Strong winds magic mist To Asgard the Valkries fly High overhead they carry the dead Where the blood of my enemy lies. Three sons have I, and they Ride by my side. The fierce, The black, and the wicked are Their names we ride down my Enemies on their half-hearted flight. No voice of mercy no angels of light. Strong winds magic mist To Asgard the Valkries fly High overhead they carry the dead Where the blood of my enemy lies. - Hail and Kill8:17
