FAST TAKER

Mama is having troubles,
It always comes from me
Your daddy said that drink is
Is not yours for the free
They tell you I'm a loser
'Cause I like see 'em breed
But truth is in the mirror
Is one thing never seen

I sing Yeah
Long time ago
You tried to tell me, son
People tried to hold on
I said no no, no no

No, I don't mind them saying
That you should be praying
For me, fast taker
Right here's where I'm staying
Life's a game I play
For keeps, fast taker, fast taker, fast taker
Take it away

Only sixteen
For more than not a girl
Old enough
For a trip around the world
Pick you up on Friday
When daddy goes to sleep
Bring you back on Sunday
When he's watching "Merry Grandma" on TV

Oh yeah, he won't see me

N ow do it right with music
Then you learn how to abuse it
All night, fast taker
Right here's where I'm staying
Life's a game I play
For peace, fast taker, fast taker, fast taker
Take it away

Mama is having troubles,
It always comes from me
Your daddy said that drink is
Is not yours for the free
They tell you I'm a loser
'Cause I like see 'em breed
But truth is in the mirror
Is one thing never seen

A long time ago
You tried to tell me son
People tried to hold on
I said no no, no no

No I don't mind them saying
That you should be praying
For me, fast taker
Right here's where I'm staying
Life's a game I play
For keeps, fast taker, fast taker, fast taker
Take it away​

FATHER

When I was small
You took me by the hand
Father you should know
I finally understand

You taught me wrong from right
And how to live
You gave the greatest gift
That one could give

You never let me down
You made me strong
When I made mistakes
When I was wrong

Some days we'd laugh
And some days we'd fight
Somehow you knew one day
I'd say you were right

You're with me
In every word I say
In every hour
Of every single day
In all I do
I'm just a part of you

You lived your life for us
That was your plan
Those hands that never take
They worked the land
Hands that never take
Can only give
And because of you
I know how to live

You're with me
In every word I say
In every hour
Of every single day
In all I do
I'm just a part of you

Father just one thing
You always knew
Every word you said to me was true​

FIGHT FOR FREEDOM

There's a sound heard across the land
It's heard across the sea
You'll only hear it if you listen with your hearts
And one day hope to be free

To hear the sound of freedom many gave their lives
They fought for you and me
Those memories will always live in silence
And now it's our time to be free

[Chorus:]
Where the eagles fly - I will soon be there
If you want to - come along with me my friend
Say the words and you'll be free
From the mountains to the sea
We'll fight for freedom again

Scream out loud for all the world to hear
From sea to shining sea ??
Let freedom ring and every man be king
To live as one through the years

[Repeat chorus]

Now is the time we all must stand together
So raise your hands show them we are strong
Side by side the fight goes on forever
Marching to the battle with this song

[Repeat chorus to fade]

 

[ironaca]

FIGHT UNTIL WE DIE

When they come, I'll be ready
I hear their voices inside
The stars in the heavens are moving
Soon they will align

Thor, god of thunder
Let me die with a sword in my hand
Raise your hands, swords in the wind
Brothers of metal together again
With blood in our voices we ride
We'll fight till we win or we'll fight until we die

Gods of thunder, fire and rain
Cut into the earth till none shall remain
Sons of demons I command you to fly
Ride on from hell into the sky
We'll fight until we die

[Repeat all]​

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 for a living - Fighting the World
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 for a living - Fighting the World
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 for a living - Fighting the World
Fight for a living - Fighting the World
Fight
Fight - Fighting the World
Fight for a living - Fighting the World​

GATES OF VALHALLA

Valhalla the gods await me
Open wide thy gates embrace me.
Great hall of the battle slain
With sword in hand.
All those who stand on shore
Raise high your hands to bid a last
farewell to the Viking land.

Death's chilling wind blows through my hair
I'm now immortal, I am there
I take my place by Odin's side
Eternal army in the sky.

I point my hatchet to the wind
I guard the gates and all within
Hear my sword sing as I ride across the sky
Sworn by the sacred blood of Odin onward ride.

Valhalla the gods await me
Open wide thy gates embrace me
Great hall of the battle slain
With sword in hand.
Behold the kingdom of the kings
Books of spells and magic rings
Endless knowledge, endless time
I scream the final battle cry.​

GOD OR MAN

I arrive a stranger in this land and
Those who seek me their blood will wash the land
They who need me now reach out their hand
And If she heals me will I be god or man

Tell me
Will I live or die
Then tell me why
Tell me who I am
God or man

Step aside
Where I ride
Or you will die

My protection I give to those in need
Mother, son and daughter and father will be free
from the chains of death upon them
I shall end their misery
With blood upon my hammer
Now the wolves of men shall bleed

Tell me
Will I live or die
Then tell me why
Now tell me who I am
God or man

Step aside
Where I ride
Or you will die

I'm alive
And I know why
Cause of lies
For you will die

You'll know the curse of my pain
Thunder and rain

My protection I give to those in need
Mother, son and daughter and father will be free
From the chains of death upon them
I shall end their misery
With blood upon my hammer
Now the wolves of men shall bleed

Step aside
Where I ride
Step aside
Or you will die

I'm alive
And I know why
Cause of Lies
You will die

Step aside
Where I ride
Step aside
Or you will die

I'm alive
And I know why
Cause of Lies
You will die

Step aside
Where I ride
Step aside
Or you will die​

GUYANA

We thank you for the kool aid, reverend Jim
We?re glad to leave behind their world of sin
Our lifeless bodies fall on holy groundRotting flesh, a sacrificial mound

Were you our god or a man in a play
Who took our applause and forced us zo stay
Now all together we lived as we died
On your command by your side

Guyana in the Cult of the Damned
Give us your word for the grand final stand
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 read again on the other side
Be good to the children and old people first
Hand them a drink they?re dying of thirst

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

Mother, Mother​
