Song lyrics Manowar - The Warriors Prayer
[00:00.31] Grandfather, tell my a story!
[00:03.25] Alright, go and get your storybook.
[00:07.15] No, No, not one of those, a real story!
[00:11.03] A real story?
[00:13.38] Yes, tell me about when you were a boy.
[00:16.64] Well, then, I shall have to take you back with me,
[00:20.39] A long way in time...
[00:23.62] It was my thirteenth year on a cold winter's day,
[00:28.44] As I walked through the enchanted forest,
[00:31.08] I heard the sound of horses and men at arms,
[00:34.45] I felt compelled to walk on
[00:37.43] And find the place of these sounds,
[00:40.13] And when the forest did clear
[00:42.48] I was standing on a hill
[00:44.45] Before me was a great plain
[00:47.65] Upon it the armies of the worlds
[00:50.87] Standing, waiting.
[00:53.62] I thought to myself,
[00:55.21] For whom or for what are they waiting?
[00:58.51] Suddenly a gust of wind came up from the North,
[01:02.74] There appeared a lone rider,
[01:05.36] Holding a sword of steel,
[01:07.82] Then from the south came another bearing a battle ax,
[01:12.52] From the east came a third holding a spiked club,
[01:17.13] And finally from the west a rider who weilded a great hammer of war.
[01:24.21] With them came their soldiers of death,
[01:27.47] Followed by an Army of Immortals.
[01:31.02] They were few in number
[01:33.23] But the look in their eyes told all who beheld them
[01:36.93] That they would leave this day only in victory or death.
[01:43.08] And there was a great silence...
[01:46.05] My heart began to pound,
[01:49.69] Storm clouds filled the sky with darkness,
[01:52.94] Rain came and the four winds blew with such anger
[01:57.09] That I held fast to a tree.
[01:59.67] I watched the four riders raise their weapons into the air.
[02:03.98] Without warning, screaming their war cry
[02:07.28] They led the attack,
[02:09.41] Down to the battle they rode,
[02:12.44] They met the armies of the world with a mighty clash!
[02:17.77] I could feel the ground shake,
[02:21.67] The earth drank much blood that day.
[02:24.67] Each of the four, was unto himself,
[02:28.01] A whirlwind of doom!
[02:34.54] When the smoke did clear,
[02:37.42] Many thousands were dead.
[02:39.87] There was much blood and gore.
[02:42.91] Their bodies lay broken
[02:45.65] And scattered across the battlefield
[02:48.08] Like brown leaves blown by the wind.
[02:51.93] And I saw the four ride together to the top of the hill,
[02:55.99] While below them the soldiers of death assembled,
[02:59.15] All those who would now swear allegiance to them.
[03:03.56] And the four spoke the words of the Warrior's Prayer.
[03:09.91] Gods of war I call you,
[03:13.08] My sword is by my side.
[03:16.17] I seek a life of honor,
[03:18.99] Free from all false pride.
[03:22.01] I will crack the whip with a bold mighty hail.
[03:26.80] Cover me with death if I should ever fail.
[03:31.02] Glory, Majesty, Unity
[03:35.79] Hail, Hail, Hail.
[03:40.56] And as I stood and looked on,
[03:43.22] I heard the Armies of the world
[03:45.43] Hail them without end
[03:47.55] And their voices of victory
[03:49.80] Carried long and far throughout the land!
[03:57.71] Well, that's it, did you like the story?
[04:02.74] Yeah, it was great!
[04:04.80] Oh good, I'm glad. Now off to bed with you.
[04:09.84] Grandfather?
[04:10.92] Yes?
[04:11.97] Who were those four men?
[04:14.61] Who were they?
[04:16.43] They were the metal kings!
[04:18.42]
