1) Warlord is one of those little known bands who should have earned much more fame. Their first album "Deliver us" was published in the early '80s (1983) and it was enough, along with "And The Cannons Of Destruction Have Begun" that followed with only few more new songs, to make them a historical metal band of the early US power metal scene. The style is progressive, melodic heavy metal of exceptional inspiration and great musical talent. Standout tracks are "Winter Tears", "Child of the Damned", "Black Mass", and the monumental "Lucifer's Hammer". The vocals are very melodic which contrasts with the heavy rythym and guitar riffs. Guitar playing is very solid with technical solos. Songs are well constructed and carry a deep, strong feeling. It is a shame that they never really got the attention that they deserved. Nevertheless, their drummer, Thunder Child, made a great career-he is actually, Mark Zonder of Fates Warning. Metal fans who appreciate epic and early power scene should not miss them!
Recently, in the year 2002, Destroyer (guitarist W.Tsamis) returned with M.Zonder (drums, of course) and J.Cans (vocals) and published Warlord's "Rising Out From The Ashes". And the legendary Warlord proved again the dark power of epic metal...
2) Warlord came along in the mid to late 90's and only had two releases on Solid State Records. The first was a self titled EP containing four songs released in 1997.
The second was titled Rock The Foe Hammer and was released in 1999. They broke up shortly after the second release. Their musical style has been labeled as "doomcore".
3) Warlord is a Finnish chiptune/demoscene/metalscene artist Warlord (1997->).
4) Warlord were active in the 1970's. They were from the UK, and they played heavy doom metal with progressive and psychedelic elements. Their only official release is a self-titled compilation album from 2002.
5) Warlord is a rapper from the West Coast and rode with Death Row Records

Enemy Mind
Warlord Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's sorrow and tears and death
An abode of hell
My living hell . . .
Tomorrow I fear my breath
Will forever fail
Life, a moment in time
Into shades of night
The shades of night . . .
I fear my soul will be banished
To the realm of sighs
And who will descend to show me the light?
And who will remember me in my plight?
The sins of the soul will rise
The alien lie is in you
Forever you will fight
The Enemy Mind within you
Lie . . . in the fields where carrion dine
We are the Enemy Mind
We are thee, Enemy Mind
We are thee, Enemy . . . MIND!
The Warlord song "Enemy Mind" is a bleak and introspective reflection on life, death, and the existential struggle of the human soul. The first verse establishes a tone of hopelessness and despair, describing life as an "abode of hell" filled with "sorrow and tears and death." The singer fears that his breath will fail him and that his soul will be banished to the "realm of sighs," a metaphorical afterlife of sadness and regret.
The second verse extends this meditation on mortality, emphasizing the fleeting nature of existence and the inevitability of death. The years of a man vanish "into shades of night," representing the darkness that awaits in the afterlife. The singer frets that his soul will be lost forever in this realm, without anyone to show him the light or remember him in his time of need.
The chorus introduces the concept of the "Enemy Mind," which appears to be an internal demon or source of conflict within the singer's psyche. He is filled with "sins of the soul" and an "alien lie," which keep him in a perpetual state of struggle and conflict. The final lines, "Lie in the fields where carrion dine / We are the Enemy Mind," suggest that this demon is a shared experience among all humans, and that we are all struggling with this internal enemy.
Overall, "Enemy Mind" is a song that explores the dark corners of the human experience and the struggles that we all face in our daily lives. It is a powerful and haunting reflection on mortality, fear, and the human condition.

Life, I know it so well
I am familiar with the nature of life
It's sorrow and tears and death
Life is filled with sadness, crying, and death
An abode of hell
It is like being in hell
My living hell . . .
My life feels like a hell on earth
Tomorrow I fear my breath
I am afraid that I will not be able to breathe tomorrow
Will forever fail
I will die tomorrow
Life, a moment in time
Life is a brief period
The years of a man they vanish
A person's years pass quickly
Into shades of night
The years fade away like the darkness of night
The shades of night . . .
My years are disappearing like the darkness of night
I fear my soul will be banished
I am afraid that my soul will be sent away
To the realm of sighs
To a place of despair and sadness
And who will descend to show me the light?
I wonder who will come to guide me towards hope
And who will remember me in my plight?
I wonder who will think of me in my time of need
The sins of the soul will rise
The things I have done wrong will come to light
The alien lie is in you
You are harboring a foreign deception
Forever you will fight
You will always be in conflict
The Enemy Mind within you
You have an inner enemy
Lie . . . in the fields where carrion dine
Lay down in a place where dead animals feast
We are the Enemy Mind
We ourselves are the internal enemy
We are thee, Enemy Mind
We are your inner enemy
We are thee, Enemy . . . MIND!
We are the one you must fight within yourself
