The Ascension
Manowar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Did sire a Son
He was baptised
By Fire, Water, Earth and Sky
From Darkness
He rose up in Triumph
And he alone
Shall Forever be Known
As the King of Kings
I Enter this World
Born under a Sign
Of infinite Light
And here I shall Dwell
I now Understand
All that I am
Shall live in Thy command
The lyrics of Manowar's song The Ascension draw on themes of fantastical heroism and divine power. The first two lines speak of the creation of a son by the forces of the cosmos, imbuing him with a cosmic importance. The next two lines describe his baptism by the four classical elements, casting him as a figure of profound significance. The following line speaks of his triumph over darkness, before rising up to take the throne of light, which solidifies his status as a figure of great power and authority.
The final lines of the song speak of the singer's own place in the world, as someone born under the auspices of infinite light, who understands that their existence is subject to a higher command. Overall, these lyrics are a celebration of larger-than-life heroes – figures who have risen above the darkness of the world to take their place on the throne of greatness.

The whole album is one big epic song, it should have no cuts at all.
Metall at it's best

15 years I've known this song, I never knew it had like an intro-part before the actual song... That explains why it just sort of starts without any opening
