I ask thee
Raise thy hand
We! the sons of Odin!
Await thy command
Born!
Under the sign
Of the hammer we stand
Our blood on the ground
The battle horns sound!
Let thy Valkyries fly!!
[Chorus:]
Down from the sky into the fight
Clutched full of rage!!
Full of thunder
And glory
Swords in the wind
Crossing the sky
Lords of doom bring an end to their story
Today is the day we Die in the fight
None shall remain..
Till last one for night
Now Valhalla's calling us immortal
We are gods immortal!
We are Gods Of War!!
Odin
Hear the fallen wait
To join thee
By thy side
Let Valhalla's gates
Open wide.....
Born! under the sign of the hammer
They lived
And here they fought and died!
There blood on the ground..
The battle horns sound!!
Let thy Valkyries fly!!!
[Chorus:]
Down from the sky into the fight
Clutched full of rage!!
Full of thunder
And glory
Swords in the wind
Crossing the sky
Lords of doom bring an end to their story
Today is the day we Die in the fight
None shall remain..
Till last one for night
Now Valhalla's calling us immortal
We are gods immortal!
We are Gods Of War!!
[Chorus]
Woooooa!
Wooooooa!
Woooooooa!
Wooooooooa!
Woooooooooa!
Woaaaa!
Wooooa!!!!

The lyrics to Manowar's song "Gods of War" speak of the honor and glory in battle and the belief that those who die fighting will join Odin in Valhalla, becoming gods of war themselves. The song begins with a plea to Odin, asking for his guidance and raising of his hand in command. The sons of Odin stand ready to fight and die for their cause, knowing their blood may be spilled on the ground. The battle horns sound, calling forth the Valkyries to bring the fallen to Valhalla.
The chorus speaks of the violent and thunderous nature of the battle, with swords crossing in the wind and the lords of doom bringing an end to their enemies' story. The day of battle is the day of death for the warriors, with none remaining until the last one falls into the night. Valhalla calls out to the warriors, offering them immortality as gods of war.
Overall, the lyrics of "Gods of War" reveal a deep reverence for battle and the belief in an afterlife where fallen warriors will become immortal gods. The song's message is one of courage, honor, and the willingness to die for what one believes in.

The truth is:
we ought to be wretched and we are so.
The chief source of the serious evils which effect men is man himself.
One man must be the devil of another.
For this, one is certainly more fitted than another.
An Archfiend is indeed more fitted than all others,
appearing in the form of a conqueror
who places several hundred thousand men opposite each others and says to them:
to suffer and die as your destiny,
now shoot each other with guns and cannons
and they do so.
