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

Warlord Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Our life-giving star has come to an end
Civilization is dying
We deem to survive, we search for a land
And we've explored the galaxies
There is just one place we can live and breathe
So we will overthrow the race of man
His way of woe and hate command
We are Invaders from afar, a dying star
Arise and see, the earth in ashes . . .
We sail through the system Solaris
With thousands of ships in the speed of the light
Hail to our leader we cherish
Our weapons of war prepared for the fight
And we are far beyond his years
Man is just nothing but a beast, atomic spears
So we will make this earth our home, our sphere
This is our destiny so near
Through solemn war, our race it must survive
Yet with remorse, the race of man must die
Through laser forces, with humans we collide
There is no hope for mankind to survive.
We are Invaders from afar, a dying star
Arise and see, the earth in ashes . . .
We are Invaders from afar, a dying star
Arise and see, the earth in ashes . . .
The lyrics of Warlord's song "Invaders" tell the story of a dying alien race who have explored the galaxies and determined that Earth is the only place where they can survive and thrive. The civilization of the invaders has been ravaged by the loss of their life-giving star, and they are left with no other option but to conquer Earth in order to establish their own new home.
The aliens come from Orion's belt, and they travel through the Solaris system in thousands of ships, armed and ready to conquer. They believe that humans are nothing but destructive beasts with atomic spears, and that they have the power to overthrow and destroy the entire human race. There is no hope for mankind to survive, and the invaders must do whatever it takes to ensure the survival of their own race.
Overall, the lyrics of "Invaders" depict an apocalyptic scene of a battle-filled conquest, where one species fights for survival while another faces complete destruction. It's a classic tale of power, dominance, and the struggle for existence.

We descend from the belt of Orion
We come from the constellation Orion
Our life-giving star has come to an end
Our sun has died, and we need a new place to live
Civilization is dying
Our society is collapsing because our planet is dying
We deem to survive, we search for a land
We are determined to survive, so we are searching for a new planet to live on
And we've explored the galaxies
We have searched throughout the universe to find a new home
There is just one place we can live and breathe
We have found only one planet that can support our life
So we will overthrow the race of man
We will conquer the humans who inhabit the planet we want
His way of woe and hate command
We dislike their way of life and will take over to impose our own
We are Invaders from afar, a dying star
We are aliens whose sun has died, and we need a new planet to survive
Arise and see, the earth in ashes . . .
When we conquer, the humans will be destroyed, and the planet will be left in a state of ruin
We sail through the system Solaris
We travel through the Solar System to reach Earth
With thousands of ships in the speed of the light
We have a large armada of fast ships to make the journey
Hail to our leader we cherish
We follow and respect our superior commander
Our weapons of war prepared for the fight
We are armed and ready for battle with the humans
And we are far beyond his years
We have advanced technology that is beyond what the humans possess
Man is just nothing but a beast, atomic spears
We see the humans as unintelligent creatures with primitive weapons
So we will make this earth our home, our sphere
We will take over and live on Earth as our new planet
This is our destiny so near
Taking over the planet is our fate, and it will happen soon
Through solemn war, our race it must survive
We will fight a serious war to ensure our survival
Yet with remorse, the race of man must die
While we are sad to extinguish life, we must do so for our own survival
Through laser forces, with humans we collide
We will use advanced weapons to engage in battle with the humans
There is no hope for mankind to survive.
We are certain we will win the war with the humans, and they will not survive
We are Invaders from afar, a dying star
We are aliens whose sun has died and must take over Earth for our survival
Arise and see, the earth in ashes . . .
When humans see the destruction we cause, they will know they have been defeated
We are Invaders from afar, a dying star
We are aliens who have come to take over Earth
Arise and see, the earth in ashes . . .
Humans will witness the destruction and domination we bring to their planet
