Manowar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Touching all our lives
As if he lived and died
In a single moment
Great were his deeds
All his words were true
He lived and died
He paid with his life
For his life was the price
To pass the gates immortal
Thy journey begins
With sword in the wind
Stay thy hand rest thy command
For odin's call was heard above them all
Thy name shall never die!
Long shall we remember
He who walked the road of danger
Master of revenge
Death's no stranger
Blood and death lived on his sword
The god of war his only lord
Into the depths of hell
Go all he fell
Take thy shield take thy sword
All thy weapons to the sky
Ye shall need them when odin bid thee rise
For none but the brave
Shall rise up from the grave
To see the valkyries fly
And so it was by the hand of odin
Did the immortal warrior pass through
The gates of valhalla and into legend.
Rise brother rise pass valhalla's gates
Here great warriors await
Reborn from thy steel
All thy wounds be healed
From the earth to the sky
Now the son of odin rise!
Take thy place among the kings
For thy soul shall never die!
The lyrics of Manowar's Hymn of the Immortal Warriors are a tribute to a fallen hero, a courageous warrior whose life may have been short-lived, but his deeds were grand and inspiring. The song is emotional, reflecting on the honor and bravery of the departed warrior, who gave his life to pay the ultimate price, to enter the immortal realm. The lyrics describe his journey, his struggles, and his victories - he walked the road of danger, he mastered revenge, and he was never afraid of death or blood. Although he fell into the depths of hell, his spirit never died. Instead, it rose up, and he made his way through the gates of Valhalla, to be remembered forever as a legend, as a true immortal warrior.
The song tells a story of courage, determination, and perseverance, urging the listener to never give up and to fight for what they believe in. The imagery is powerful, depicting the warrior's sword in the wind, his weapons raised to the sky, and his shield at the ready. The song is a call to arms, a reminder that only the brave shall rise up from the grave to see the Valkyries fly, and to take their place among the kings.
