Manowar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The Power To Be Free To Die And Live Again
This Power's Like Fire, Fire Loves To Burn
Make The World A Grave Of Ashes In A Urn
The Power In The Darkness To See Without My Sight
The Power Of The Magic The Power Of The Spell
Not To Serve In Heaven But One Day Rule In Hell
This Power's Greater Than Love And Of Hate
This Is The Power Of Will And Of Fate
The Power Of Blood The Triumph Of Steel
Greater Than The Power Of A Priest Or A Sinner
The Power To Defy To Fight And Be The Winner
The Power Of The Demons Spirits I Command
Always By My Side To Serve The Master's Plan
Power The Power The Power
None Can Fight The Power None Can Fight The Wind
Secrets Of All Life And Death Are Carried There Within
Call Out To The Power Of The Darkness And Light
Have Dominion Of The Earth Be Lord Of All The Night
Kill All Those Who Stand Against You Look Into Their Eyes
Drink Their Blood And Laugh As They Pay For All Their Lies
Piss Upon Their Grave Then Cast A Final Spell
Fly Into The Night One Day Meet In Hell
Power The Power The Power
The lyrics to Manowar's song The Power portray a dark and powerful force that overcomes all other human emotions such as love and hate. The song talks about the ability to fly into the wind, be free to die and live again, and the strength to create a world of ashes in an urn. The references to fire burning and the power to see without sight allude to the idea of an otherworldly entity that can control and manipulate the natural elements. This powerful force is also likened to the magic of spells that can enable one not only to serve in heaven but also to rule in hell.
The lyrics imply that this power is not something to be taken lightly but is greater than the power of a priest or a sinner, and the power to fight and emerge victorious. The source of this power is not from humans but from the demons' spirits, which the singer commands, as it rejoices in the darkness and its power. The song suggests that one should call out to the power of darkness and light and have dominion of the Earth and be the Lord of all the night. The song's energy is relentless as it describes destroying anyone who dares to stand against the power with a final casting of a spell and flying into the night.
