MANOWAR - Sign Of The Hammer - 1984, 1980

All Men Play On Ten

I Made A Rock and Roll Sin When I Tried Givin In To Make Money
Had To Turn Down Low
They Said Why Be Proud Don’t Play So Loud
Be Like Us And Get A Sound That's Real Thin
Wear A Polyester Suit Act Happy Look Cute Get A Haircut And Buy Small Gear
That’s When I Turned To Them And Said Hold It Right There

Well It’s More To Me Than Just A Job
And While I’m Playin You Won't Get Robbed
Nobody Tells A Man How To Play
It Just Ain’t That Way
Hey Hey Hey
Can You Hear Me Say

All Men Play On Ten Never Gonna Turn Down Again
All Men Play On Ten Never Gonna Turn Down

I’m Jet Fuel Honey Plug Me Into 220 Step Back And Let My Fingers Fly
While I’m Burning Up My Gear There’s A Fire In Your Ear
That Won’t Stop Until The Day You Die
I Really Put It To The Floor When I Hear The Crowd Roar
Oh It’s Music To My Ears When They Scream
Then I Run Back The Power Rack
And Deck All Of My Gear

Well It’s More To Me Than Just A Job
And While I’m Playin You Won’t Get Robbed
Nobody Tells A Man How To Play
It Just Ain’t That Way Baby
Hey Hey Hey Can You Hear Me Say

All Men Play On Ten Never Gonna Turn Down Again
All Men Play On Ten Never Gonna Turn Down Again

Let Me Tell Ya
Well It’s More To Me Than Just A Job
And While I’m Playin You Won’t Get Robbed
Nobody Tells A Man How To Play
It Just Ain’t That Way Baby
Hey Hey Hey Can You Hear Me Say

All Men Play On Ten Never Gonna Turn Down Again
All Men Play On Ten Never Gonna Turn Down Again
I’m Never Gonna Turn Down Again

Animals

Hear The Call Of The Wild In Us All
It Waits For The Night To Fall
I’m Getting Hot I’m Ready For The Night
No Holdin Back Let’s Ball
I’m Gonna Give All You Can Take All Night
And Leave You In The Morning Feeling Right

I’m An Animal
There’s An Animal In Me
Gonna Set It Free
I’m An Animal
There’s An Animal In Me
Gonna Set It Free

I’ve Been Looking You've Been Watching From The Side
There’s Something You Just Can’t Hide
Oh Your Getting Wet Your Working Up A Sweat
Your Hairs Standing Up On End
Your Skin Is Screaming Glad We Met
Tonight’s One Night You Won’t Forget

I’m An Animal
There’s An Animal In Me
Gonna Set It Free

I’m An Animal
There’s An Animal In Me
Gonna Set It Free

Thor (The Powerhead)

Black Clouds On The Horizon
Great Thunder And Burning Rain
His Chariot Pounding
I Heard The Heavens Scream His Name

I Watched As He Shouted
To The Giants Who Died That Day
He Held Up His Hammer High And Called To Odin For A Sign

Thor The Mighty Thor The Brave
Crush The Infidels In Your Way
By Your Hammer Let None Be Saved
Live To Die On That Final Day
Gods Monsters And Men
Will Die Together In The End

God Of Thunder God Of Rain
Earth Shaker Who Feels No Pain
The Powerhead Of The Universe
Now Send Your Never Ending Curse

I Watched As He Shouted
To The Giants Who Died That Day
He Held Up His Hammer High And Called To Odin For A Sign

Thor The Mighty Thor The Brave
Crush The Infidels In Your Way
By Your Hammer Let None Be Saved
Live To Die On That Final Day
Gods Monsters And Men
Will Die Together In The End

Swing Your Hammer To Crack The Sky
Lift Your Cape So That You Might Fly
Back To Odin And The Gods On High
And Leave The Mortal World

Thor The Mighty Thor The Brave
Crush The Infidels In Your Way
By Your Hammer Let None Be Saved
Live To Die On That Final Day
Gods Monsters And Men
Will Die Together In The End

Odin

Mountains

So Tall Silent Against The Sky
Up Through The Clouds Where Eagles Fly
Wind And Rain Beat Down On One So Strong
They Cut But Never Change What Stood So Long

Tall As A Mountain
I’m Gonna Tear Through The Sky
Life’s For The Taking

Like A Man Is A Mountainside
Greatness Waits For Those Who Try
None Can Teach You It’s All Inside
Just Climb

I Am In The Ground I Am In The Air
I Am All I Live In The Hearts Of All Men
I Am The Call To Greatness Not All Can Hear
I Awaken The Creator In Those Who Dare

And The Day Will Come When We All Must Die
And Enter The Mountainside

Tall As A Mountain

I’m Gonna Tear Through The Sky
Life’s For The Taking

Like A Man Is A Mountainside
Greatness Waits For Those Who Try
None Can Teach You It’s All Inside
Just Climb

I Have No Fear
Death And Glory Both Draw Near

Like A Man Is A Mountainside
Greatness Waits For Those Who Try
None Can Teach You It’s All Inside

The Oath

Burning Embers Of The Second Death Will Come In The Night
Priests And Kings The Alpha And Omega Poison Bites
False Prophets And Deceivers Swing From The Trees
Now Dawn The Age Of Birds Drunk With Blood Like Lepers With Disease

Lord Of The Sky Mercury The Guide
Lord Of The Underworld I Swear The Sacred Rite
I Will Crucify Slay Them With Their Tribe
Hear My War Cry

They’ll Find No Sanctuary Hidden In Their Ancestral Halls
Let Loose The Knot That Binds The Spirit And Flesh Let It Fall
For Only Courage And Heroism Linger After Death
So Hold Fast Thy Sword Rejecting Pain Feel The Dragons Breath

Lord Of The Sky Mercury The Guide
Lord Of The Underworld I Swear The Sacred Rite
I Will Crucify Slay Them With Their Tribe
Hear My War Cry

I’ve Sworn The Oath

Guyana (Cult Of The Damned)

Thank You For The Kool Aid Reverend Jim
We’re Glad To Leave Behind Their World Of Sin
Our Lifeless Bodies Fall On Holy Ground
Rotting Flesh A Sacrificial Mound

Were You Our God Or A Man In A Play
Who Took Our Applause And Forced Us To Stay
Now All Together We Lived As We Die
On Your Command By Your Side
Die By Your Side

Guyana In The Cult Of The Damned
Give Us Your Word
For The Grand Final Stand

In The Cult Of The Damned We All Worked The Land
Too Afraid To Look Up We All Feared His Hand
Hurry My Children There Isn’t Much Time
But We’ll Meet Again On The Other Side
Be Good To The Children And Old People First
Hand Them A Drink They’re Dying Of Thirst

Guyana In The Cult Of The Damned
Give Us Your Word For The Grand Final Stand

Bigfoot Bigfoot Thrown In A Well
Pulled Under Water Screaming Like Hell
He Told Us Life Was Just A Hotel
Time To Check Out When He Rang The Bell

Guyana In The Cult Of The Damned
Give Us Your Word For The Grand Final Stand
