Warrior Prayer Lyrics - Kings Of Metal - Manowar

Grand father, tell me a story! 

All right, go and get your storybook 

No, no, not one of those, a real story 

A real story? 

Yes! Tell me about when you were a boy 

Well, then, I shall have to take you back with me 

A long way in time 

It was my thirteenth year on a cold winter's day 

As I walked through the enchanted forest 

I heard the sounds of horses and men at arms 

I felt compelled to walk on and find the place of these sounds 

And when the forest did clear I was standing on a hill 

Before me there was a great plane 

Atoned the armies of the world,standing, waiting 

I thought to myself, for whom or for what are they waiting?

Suddenly a gust of wind come up from the north 

There appeared a lone rider, holding a sword of steel 

Then from the south came another, bearing a battle axe 

From the east came a third, holding a spiked club 

And finally, from the west a rider 

Who wielded a great hammer of war, with them came their 

Soldiers of death, followed by an army of immortals 

They were few in number 

But the look in their eyes told all who beheld them 

That they would leave this day only in victory or death 

And there was a great silence 

My heart began to pound, storm clouds filled the sky with darkness 

Rain came and four winds blew with such anger 

That I held fast to a tree 

I watched the four riders raise their weapons into the air 

Without warning, screaming their war cry they led the attack

Down to the battle they rode 

They met the armies of the world with a mighty clash 

I could feel the groundshake, the earth drank much blood that day 

Each of the four, was into himself a whirlwind of doom 

When the smoke did clear, many thousands were dead 

There was much blood and gore 

Their bodies lay broken and scattered across the battle field 

Like brown leaves blown by the wind 

And I saw the four ride together to the top of the hill 

While below them the soldiers of death assembled 

All those who would now swear allegiance to them 

And the four spoke the words of the warriors prayer 

Gods of war I call you, my sword is by my side 

I seek a life of honor free from all false pride 

I will crack the whip with a bold mighty hail 

Cover me with death if I should ever fail 

Glory, majesty, unity, hail, hail,hail 

And as I stood and looked on, I heard the armies of the world 

Hail them without end, and their voices of victory 

Carried long and far throughout the land 

Well, That's it, did you like the story? 

Yeah, it was great! 

Oh, good, I'm glad, now off to bed with you 

Grandfather? 

Yes? 

Who were those four men? 

Who were they? They were the Metal Kings
