Enter the Warrior
Manilla Road Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sword and Shield, await thee now
The Time has come, The Hammers crashing down
Ride this night, for the Crown
Take thy place upon the battle ground
Twilight Gleaming
Thou must Fight
For thy Freedom
Tis the Time
Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will Be Done
Is what they say to take the pain away
When will they learn that pain is truth
And God be manifested in thy Youth
Twilight Gleaming
Thou must Fight
For thy Freedom
Tis the Time
Thou shallt pay for all thy Sins
Hel awaits the blood tis thin
Crimes of Gods and Man and Beast
If Thou dost not pay, then Hel shall feast on thee.
So ride, my son, through the snow
If thee be True, then thou shallt feel no blow
For Gods own Grace rides with you
And never underestimate the Fool
Twilight Gleaming
Thou must Fight




For thy Freedom
Tis the Time

Overall Meaning

The song "Enter the Warrior" by Manilla Road is an epic tale of a warrior preparing to go into battle. The opening lines, "Sword and Shield, await thee now, The Time has come, The Hammers crashing down" signify that the warrior is readying himself for battle. The next line, "Ride this night, for the Crown" suggests that he must ride into battle to defend his kingdom and earn his place upon the throne. The phrase "Twilight Gleaming" may be interpreted as a metaphor for the battle itself, with the twilight symbolizing the final moments before the dawn breaks and the battle commences. The lyrics "Thou must Fight, For thy Freedom, Tis the Time" further emphasize that the warrior must fight for his freedom and the freedom of his people.


The song later touches on the theme of sacrifice, with the lyrics "Thou shallt pay for all thy Sins, Hel awaits the blood tis thin, Crimes of Gods and Man and Beast, If Thou dost not pay, then Hel shall feast on thee." This suggests that the warrior must be prepared to sacrifice himself for the greater good of his people, and that there will be consequences for his actions, good or bad. The final lyrics, "So ride, my son, through the snow, If thee be True, then thou shallt feel no blow, For Gods own Grace rides with you, And never underestimate the Fool", suggest that the warrior must ride into battle with confidence, knowing that he is protected by divine guidance.


Overall, "Enter the Warrior" is a powerful and inspiring song about courage, sacrifice, and the will to fight for what is right.
