My Name Is Man
Warlord Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My name is Man, from dust I stand,
A newborn song, a story.
Upon this land, Almighty hands,
Hath filled my eyes with glory.
The life I breathe, a Force unseen,
Reveals all that I am . . .
My Name is Man, My Name is Man, My name is Man . . .
Behold the crystal rivers feed the oceans
Celestial sphere of solar fire drinketh from the sea
And the fountains in the sky pour life on every seed.

Behold the womb of earth brings forth the mountains
The canyon walls so grand they stand, before the valley floor,
And the face of land and sea, they meet on seven shores

We are earth, we are heaven
We are flesh, we are blood
We inherit Thy kingdom
We are all, we are One . . .

We are earth, we are heaven
We are flesh, we are blood




We inherit Thy kingdom
We are all, we are One . . .

Overall Meaning

The song "My Name Is Man" by Warlord speaks to the idea of humanity as a divine creation formed from the earth and stars. The opening lines, "My name is Man, from dust I stand, a newborn song, a story" suggest that humanity is both ancient and new, formed from the same elements as the earth and imbued with a spirit that is unique and vital. The phrase "Almighty hands" suggests that there is a higher power that has both created and guided humanity, filling us with a sense of wonder and awe. The repetition of the line "My Name is Man" suggests a pride in this fact, as well as a recognition of our own mortality and the importance of leaving behind a legacy for future generations.


The second stanza of the song refers to some of the natural wonders of the world, such as the crystal rivers and the solar fire of the sun. It suggests that these elements are connected and interconnected, with the rivers feeding the oceans and the celestial sphere drawing its energy from the sea. The lines "And the fountains in the sky pour life on every seed" speak to the idea of growth and renewal, suggesting that there is a cyclical nature to life on earth.


The final stanza speaks to the connection that humanity has with the earth and the wider universe. The repeated lines "We are earth, we are heaven, we are flesh, we are blood" suggest that we are both physical and spiritual beings, with a connection to the divine that is rooted in our very existence. The phrase "We inherit Thy kingdom" suggests that this connection is not just a gift, but a responsibility, as we are tasked with caring for the earth and each other, creating a better future for all.


Overall, "My Name Is Man" is a powerful tribute to the resilience and beauty of humanity, celebrating our connection to the wider world and acknowledging our own mortality while also instilling a sense of pride and purpose.
