Hand of Doom
Manowar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Time to know the pain, but no time to run within
And these hands you see before you will end the light of day
Your ashes will be cast into the wind
Your blood's upon the soil, your body fed to wolves
Not one of you will be left alive
Hear the sound pounding and the army of the night
Tonight we strike, there is thunder in the sky
Together we'll fight, some of us will die
We'll always remember that we made a stand
And many will die by my hand
We are high atop a mountain with hammers in the wind
Lusting for blood and death again
In a flash of lightning strike
Now the house of death invites you, body and soul to come within
I see the fear you have inside you can run but never hide
I will hunt you down and tear you limb from limb
Nothing shall remain not your memory, your name
It will be as though you never, ever lived
Tonight we strike, there is thunder in the sky
Together we'll fight, some of us will die
We'll always remember that we made a stand
Many will die by my hand
They will die
High atop a mountain with hammers in the wind
Lusting for blood and death again
In a flash of lightning strike
Now the house of death invites you, body and soul to come within
I see the fear you have inside you can run but never hide
I will hunt you down and tear you limb from limb
Nothing shall remain not your memory, your name
It will be as though you never, ever lived
Tonight we strike, there is thunder in the sky
Together we'll fight, some of us will die
But we'll always remember that we made a stand
And many will die by my hand
They will die, by my hand, they will die
The lyrics to Manowar's "Hand of Doom" are aggressive, threatening and invoke images of warfare, death and destruction. The song suggests that the "hands of doom" - likely a metaphorical representation of war or an invading army - will crush and destroy all those who stand in their way. The menacing tone of the lyrics is clear, with the suggestion that those who face the hand of doom will either suffer a cruel death, or be forced to flee and live forever with the fear of being hunted down and torn "limb from limb".

This song is the most pure "heavy metal" song there is. After this you can only have sub-genres.
