Road Warriors
Ironsword Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's in our blood we live to fight
We quench our hunger with loot and war
And crave the realms of evermore
We are road warriors
We are road warriors
To raging battles with death we ride
Show no mercy and kill at will
Victor warlords praise only steel
We are road warriors
We are road warriors
Make us your kings, none shall defy
For we shall never let metal die
Bow to the masters, heirs to the throne
We grasp the power of fire and brimstone
We are road warriors
We are road warriors
The song "Road Warriors" by Ironsword is an anthem for those who are born to conquer and rule the night. The lyrics describe a group of warriors who live for the fight and thirst for loot and war. Their desire for power and domination is insatiable, and they crave the realms of evermore. They are road warriors, and they ride into raging battles with their brothers by their side, showing no mercy and killing at will. These warriors are warlords who praise only steel, and they are determined to make everyone bow to them.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "We are road warriors" which emphasizes their identity as a group of warriors who rule the roads, dominating all who stand in their way. The lyrics suggest they are driven by some kind of an other-worldly force, perhaps the "blood" that "lives to fight" within them. They see themselves as the heirs to the throne, grasping the power of fire and brimstone. In essence, the song suggests that these road warriors are unstoppable, and they will not back down until they have conquered all.
