Call to Arms
Manowar Lyrics

When they see us they will run for their lives
Upon encountering us, our foes will flee in fear of their lives

To the end they will pay for their lies
Their lies will bring them to their ultimate demise

So long did we wait, now we are home
After a prolonged absence, we are finally back in our own element

Here once again there is a battle to fight
There exists another conflict, that we must overcome

Gathered together for the sound and the might
We have coalesced for the sake of the stirring spirit and overwhelming might of our united front

Now we will fight for the kingdom fighting with steel
We will engage in a war to defend our realm with metal weaponry

Kill all of them, their blood is our seal
We shall eliminate all opposing forces, signifying our strength through their liquidation

Fight till the last of the enemy is dead
We shall persist in combat until every last foe has fallen

Ride through the blood that we gladly have shed
We shall triumphantly traverse the aftermath of our victory, basking in the remnants of our violent success

I now issue the call, are you ready to fight
I am now calling upon you, asking if you are equipped and prepared to engage in battle

Fight all together as one for the right to be free once again
En masse, we shall unilaterally combat for the liberty we have been deprived of

Tonight we will win
This very night will manifest our triumph over our foes

I can see by the look that you have in your eyes
I can perceive the unyielding fortitude and determination expressed within your eyes

You came here for metal to fight and to die
You arrived here seeking savage and lethal combat, anticipating the possibility of death

Defenders of steel, now we are home
We, the guardians of metal weaponry, have returned to a place of great significance to us

Fight for the kingdom bound for glory
We are to fight valiantly for our kingdom, bound for the prestige of victory

Armed with a heart of steel
We are endowed with the unyielding will and fortitude of a warrior

I swear by the Brothers who stand before me
I make a solemn oath, enshrined by the example set by my fellow brethren

To no man shall I kneel
I shall not bow nor submit to any individual

Their blood is upon my steel
Their destruction and defeat shall be inflicted by the might of my metal weaponry
