1) Warrior is a heavy metal band based in Southern California. Formed in 1982 by San Diego, CA natives Parramore McCarthy (vocals) and the guitar duo of Joe Floyd and Tommy Asakawa, the band quickly made inroads on the L.A. scene when local radio station KMET started to play a demo of the band's soon-to-be signature song, Fighting For The Earth This led to a contract with MCA Records in America and Virgin subsidiary, 10 Records, in Europe. Warrior's debut album, Fighting for the Earth, was issued in 1985 and although it failed to attain mainstream success it became what it is still hailed by many as one of the greatest heavy metal albums of all time. Plagued by record company problems and internal turmoil, Warrior was all but history by early 1987, with Parramore McCarty briefly fronting Rough Cutt before teaming up with former Billy Idol axeman Steve Stevens while Joe Floyd formed Cold Fire with future Megadeth drummer Nick Menza.
Warrior reformed in 1991 with a line-up that included original members Floyd and McCarty as well as guitarist Roy Z (later to join Bruce Dickinson and Halford) but the band's comeback album, Ancient Future, did not surface until 1998. 2001's The Code of Life was the first Warrior album not to feature McCarty on vocals who had declined to take part in the recording. His replacement was Rob Rock (ex-M.A.R.S., Impellitteri) who had earlier recorded his solo debut album, Rage of Creation, at Joe Floyd's Silver Cloud studio. Roy Z (Day of Reckoning) and Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickinson (We Are One) both feature as co-writers on the album. With Rob Rock off tending to his fledgling solo career, Warrior was once again in need of a vocalist for their next album and legendary Maltese born singer Marc Storace of Krokus fame was brought in to lend his pipes to 2004's The Wars of Gods and Men.
In 2008, Floyd reunited with original vocalist Parramore McCarty who brought along San Diego guitarist AC Alexander, with 'The Wars of Gods and Men' rhythm section, bassist Rob Farr and drummer Dave DuCey, remaining on board. Warrior played their first live show in nearly a decade in April 2008 in San Diego and announced plans for a new album studio album which has yet to materialize but is expected for an early 2010 release.

We Are One
Warrior Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Humanity has lost its way
The power is within us to turn back the tide
And liberate ourselves if we can unite
This is the war that we must fight!
The old way is dead; the past must be left behind
We can never be the same again
We will be free when we can see we hold the key
Reach for the light, children of the sun
And open your eyes revolution has begun
Reach for the light, children of the sun
It's our battle cry - we are one!
Ten thousand years of war and tears, a legacy of fear
Killing in the name of God never asking why
Can we rise above the lies, can we break the chains
The flame that burns inside will show us the way
Reach for the light, children of the sun
And open your eyes, now is the time
Reach for the light, children of the sun
It's our battle cry - we are one!
We are one!
We can never look back
We must never be enslaved again
Reach for the light, children of the sun
And open your eyes, we must believe
Reach for the light, children of the sun
The time is now - we must unite!
We are one!
We are one!
The lyrics of "We Are One" by Warrior's song address the loss of direction in human society and the need to unite against it. The song talks about how humanity has ignored the signs of its wrongdoings and has lost its way. However, it is not too late to turn back the tide; the power lies within us to liberate ourselves, but only if we can unite. The song talks about the war that must be fought to achieve this unity.
The lyrics also talk about leaving the past behind as the old ways are dead. It is time for a new beginning, where there are no more lies to hold us down. The song inspires people to reach for the light and open their eyes to the revolution that has begun. The battle cry is "we are one," and it is time for children of the sun to unite and break the chains that have held them back for so long.
The song refers to the legacy of fear and 10,000 years of war and tears that have plagued humanity. Killing in the name of God has been justified, and the flames that burn inside us will show us the way to rise above the lies and break the chains of fear. The song's message is clear – it's time to unite and fight against the wrongdoings that have plagued us for centuries.
