Album Lyrics: Sign of the Hammer SIGN OF THE HAMMER - MANOWAR "All Men Play On Ten" I made a rock'n'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 to 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 hey, hey, hey, can you hear me say... "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 holding back, let's 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 Tere's somethings you just can't hide Oh, you're getting wet, you're working up a sweat Your hair's standing up on end Your skin is screaming, glad we met? Tonight's one night you won't forget "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 that died that day He hehd 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 We'll 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 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 this mortal world "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 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 I have no fear Death and Glory Both draw near "Sign Of The Hammer" 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 "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 I've sworn the oath "Guyana - The Cult of The Damned" 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 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 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 meet 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
