Formed in 1980, the group is known for lyrics based on fantasy (particularly sword and sorcery) and mythology (particularly Norse mythology and Greco-Roman mythology), as well as numerous songs celebrating the genre and its core audience. The band is also known for a loud and emphatic sound. In an interview for MTV in February 2007, bassist Joey DeMaio lamented that "these days, there's a real lack of big, epic metal that is drenched with crushing guitars and choirs and orchestras... so it's nice to be one of the few bands that's actually doing that". In 1984, the band was included in the Guinness Book of World Records for delivering the loudest performance, a record which they have since broken on two occasions. They also hold the world record for the longest heavy metal concert after playing for five hours and 1 minute in Bulgaria (at Kavarna Rock Fest) in 2008. They also have been known for their slogan "Death to false metal". The band maintains a strong cult following.

Ojciec
Manowar Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Gdym mały był
Na ręce brałeś mnie
Ojcze, czy już wiesz
Iż wreszcie rozumiem Cię

Co dobre jest co złe
pokazałeś mi
Dałeś największy dar

Wiem jak mam żyć

I nie zawiodłeś mnie
Dodałeś mi sił
Kiedym czynił źle
- uczyłeś mnie

Czasem przez śmiech
Czasem przez łzy
Tyś wiedział o tym dniu
Kiedy rację przyznam Ci

Tyś jest tu
I w każdym słowie mym
Słyszę Cię
I w każdym czynie mym
I w każdym dniu
Żyjesz w sercu mym

Żyłeś tylko dla nas
To był Twój plan
To praca twoich rąk
Dobro niosła nam

Ty wiedziałeś i
Ja teraz wiem
Skąd mam przykład brać
I wiem jak mam żyć

Tyś jest tu
I w każdym słowie mym
Słyszę Cię
I w każdym czynie mym
I w każdym dniu
Żyjesz w sercu mym

Ojcze, ja już wiem

I Tyś wiedział, że
Każde ze słów twych, w końcu sprawdzi się

Overall Meaning

The Polish lyrics of Manowar's song "Ojciec" (Father) express the singer's gratitude to his father for showing him the difference between right and wrong and for teaching him how to live. The song starts with the singer reminiscing about when he was a child and his father took him in his arms. He now understands his father's wisdom and says that he knows how to live according to his father's lessons. He also thanks his father for always being there for him, adding strength to him, and teaching him how to do the right thing when he did wrong.

The song goes on to say that the father is still present in his life, no matter what happens, whether in laughter or tears. He is always with him, in his words and actions, and lives in his heart. The singer acknowledges that his father worked hard to provide for them, and it was his plan to give them a better life. He was a role model for the singer, and now he knows how to live, thanks to his father's teachings. He concludes by thanking his father, saying that he already knows that each of his words will eventually come true.

"Ojciec" is a touching tribute to fathers everywhere and celebrates the powerful influence they have on their children's lives. It highlights the importance of teaching and leading by example in shaping the lives of the next generation. The song is a poignant reminder to cherish the time we have with our fathers and to appreciate them for all they do.
