Manowar - Swords In The Wind Lyrics






I surrender my soul
Odin hear my call
One day I'll sit beside your throne
In Valhalla's great hall
Like so many before me
I'll die with honor and pride

The right of the warrior
Forever to fight by your side
Send a sign, raise the sail
Wave a last goodbye
Destiny is calling
Immortality be mine

Call the witch to cast the runes
Weave a magic spell
We who die in battle are born
Not for heaven, not for hell

[Bridge:]
We are sons of Odin
The fire we burn inside
Is the legacy of warrior kings
Who reign above in the sky

[Chorus:]
I will lead the charge
My sword into the wind
Sons of Odin fight
To die and live again
Viking ships cross the sea
In cold wind and rain
Sail into the black of night
Magic stars our guiding light

Today the blood of battle
Upon my weapons will never dry
Many I'll send into the ground
Laughing as they die

[Repeat bridge, chorus]

Place my body on a ship
And burn it on the sea
Let my spirit rise
Valkiries carry me
Take me to Valhalla
Where my brothers wait for me
Fires burn into the sky
My spirit will never die

[Repeat chorus to fade]

  11. C.... ....

    All metalheads are brother and sister for me, but manowarriors.... they are more than that

  12. M.... J....

    But Valhall only takes 800 Einhärjar. Warriors of Oden to fight the Ragnarök.

  13. G.... P....

    One of the best songs ever written, but its from Warriors of the world. Not Sign of the hammer
    Take me to Valhalla, where my brothers wait for me

  14. C.... A....

    The lyrics is absolutely amazing. I wish it can be the Swedish national anthem one day ; )

    "I will lead the charge
    My sword into the wind.
    Sons of Odin fight
    To die and live again.
    Viking ships cross the sea
    In cold wind and rain.
    Sail into the black of night
    Magic stars our guiding light."

  21. T.... ....

    Ghost - Cirice is the song that is using thunder, heart, and guiding stars as the symbolism.

  22. T.... ....

    Call of the wind and night, children of wind and rain, its the call of the wild. Underneath thunder, wind and rain. Guided by thunder and rain.

  23. T.... ....

    Great song , Manowar are the Odin of metal

  24. D.... N....

    It's ruining my ears but it's a good way to go.

  51. L.... E....

    As always with Manowar.....the lyrics are Divinely Glorious and Epic

  52. R.... B....

    Who else wants a Viking funeral when they die?

    R.... B....

    Unfortunately the Viking funeral with the burning ship is a Hollywood myth. What would usually happen is that great warriors were buried with their ship, not sent on a lake and burned. Their slaves were usually slaughtered and buried with then so that they can serve the warrior in the afterlife

    R.... B....

    Vinyl Scratch
    Way to ruin a dream bro, it's ruined now. Or maybe on a pyre, that could work.

    R.... B....

    @Rene Branstetter sadly not just a myth not to long ago they found a ship that was burned and holding a corpse so yes hollywood fixed alot of the myth but someplaces it happened

  53. a.... b....

    best song ever

  54. A.... M....

    I just realized that in the song "Sons of Odins" which will appear in their next album Gods of War the lyrics say "let the battle begin, with SWORDS IN THE WIND, hail Gods of war".
    Both songs refers each other!

  55. A.... X....

    Gli scienziati di Mordor hanno dimostrato che se non ti piacciono i Manowar sei superultramegafrocio e pure vegetariano

    K.... D....

    Keith Darby a Norse funeral is a marriage of dissimilars. Water and fire. The sea represents the grave. The spirit rises on holy fire from the mouth of Helheim. It’s beautiful.

  82. j.... s....

    its Hammer of Thor

    j.... s....

    Mjölner

    j.... s....

    Mjölner, the nir ending is a Americanization of the name, its ner in skandinavia with the exception of some parts of England where Hollywood grabbed it.

    M.... \....

    @Patrick Gatt Praise Odin!

  88. I.... a....

    aaaahhh dear Odin....

  89. P.... ....

    Why the pic in the background sounds so fucking nazi?

    P.... ....

    @Andrew "zionist media bubble that hates european culture" sounds alot like neo nazis would say it...

    P.... ....

    @Gandalf for President "Sounds a lot like neo Nazis would say it..." Sounds a lot like you're an indoctrinated cunt.

    P.... ....

    Gandalf for President You're a stupid Cunt who can't think for himself.

    P.... ....

    @Porketz I'm pretty sure, they are with National socialism, their perfection of music can aprove my words, indeed you found a big influence from Wagner. If they are, so what a great and noble thing. Maybe you can search the true history of WW2 and see Patton words are rights "we fought against the wrong enemy"

    P.... ....

    I'm so happy with those comments and found true warriors who know the truth! the world have a light of hope

  90. D.... E....

    Anthem to all German Warriors

    D.... E....

    @smurfvolvo Germans are germanic, the ancestors of the german people came from scandinavia. The German language is a different story

    D.... E....

    @Daniel EDDA yes germans are a part of the germanic people, but german and germanic is still not the same thing...

    D.... E....

    Here here... my bloodline!!!!!

    D.... E....

    @Daniel EDDA thank you for speaking truth...

    D.... E....

    @smurfvolvo depends how far back your blood.goes... but probably impossible to find anything close for.most...
