The Final Countdown
Mandowar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But still is farewell
And maybe we'll come back
To Earth who can tell
I guess there is no one to blame
We′re leaving ground
Will things ever be the same again?
It's the final countdown
We're heading for Vinus
And still we stand tall
Cause maybe they′ve seen us
And welcome us all
With so many light years to go
And things to be found
I′m sure that we all miss her so
It's the final countdown
The final countdown
The final countdown
(Final countdown)
Oh, oh!
Oh, oh!
It′s the final countdown
The final countdown
The final countdown
(Final countdown)
Oh, Yeah!
It's the final countdown
We′re leaving together
The final countdown
We'll all miss her so
The final countdown
(Final countdown)
Oh, oh!
It′s the final countdown
We're leaving together
The final countdown
We'll all miss her so
The final countdown
(Final countdown)
Oh, Yeah!
It′s the Final!
It′s the Final!
The song "The Final Countdown" by Mandowar is a dramatic anthem about leaving Earth for an unknown destination. The lyrics begin with the announcement that the group is leaving together, but it is also a farewell. They acknowledge that they may come back to Earth, but in the grand scheme of things, it is unclear where their journey will take them. The singer notes that there is no one to blame for their decision to leave because they are "leaving ground." From here, he questions whether things will be the same again after they leave, which sets the tone for the rest of the song.
The chorus repeats the two lines "It's the final countdown" three times, creating an intense and memorable moment. The singer explains that they are heading towards Venus and still stand tall because maybe their future hosts have seen them and will welcome them with open arms. The singer acknowledges that there are "so many light years to go" before they reach their destination, and there are many things to see and discover. The song concludes with the final chorus, emphasizing the finality of their decision to leave, and how everyone will miss the Earth.

Here our soldiers stand from all around the world
Waiting in a line to hear the battle cry
All are gathered here victory is near
The sound will fill the hall bringing power to us all
We alone are fighting for metal that is true
We own the right to live the fight we're here for all of you
Now swear the blood upon your steel will never dry
Stand and fight together beneath the battle sky!
Brothers everywhere
Raise your hands into the air
We're warriors
Warriors of the world
Like thunder from the sky
Sworn to fight and die
We're warriors
Warriors of the world
Many stand against us but they will never win
We said we would return and here we are again!
To bring them all destruction suffering and pain
We are the hammer of the gods we are thunder wind and rain!
There they wait in fear with swords in feeble hands
With dreams to be a king first one should be a man
I call them out and charge them all with a life that is a lie
And in their final hour they shall confess before they die!!
Brothers everywhere
Raise your hands into the air
We're warriors
Warriors of the world
Like thunder from the sky
Sworn to fight and die
We're warriors
Warriors of the world
If I should fall in battle my brothers who fight by my side
Gather my horse and weapons tell my family how I died
Until then I will be strong I will fight for all that is real
All who stand in my way will die by steel!!!
Brothers everywhere
Raise your hands into the air
We're warriors
Warriors of the world
Brothers everywhere
Raise your hands into the air
We're warriors
