Wishbone Ash - Warrior Lyrics






I'm leaving to search for something new,
Leaving everything I ever knew.
A hundred years in the sunshine
Hasn't taught me all there is to know.

In the valley, we will gather there,
Helpless in our surrender.
Tomorrow the plow becomes the sword -
Make us stronger in our danger.

Time will pass away,
Time will guard our secret.
I'll return again
To fight another day.

I'd have to be a warrior -
A slave I couldn't be -
A soldier and a conqueror,
Fighting to be free.
[x3]

    I'm leaving to search for something new
    Leaving everything I ever knew
    A hundred years in the sunshine
    Hasn't taught me all there is to know
    In the valley, we will gather there
    Helpless in our surrender
    Tomorrow the plow becomes the sword
    Make us stronger in our danger
    Time will pass away
    Time will guard our secret
    I'll return again
    To fight another day
    [Chorus x3:]
    I'd have to be a warrior
    A slave I couldn't be
    A soldier and a conqueror
    Fighting to be free

    YEAHHHH ..Still Loving after so many years. Bonus info: I was born way back in 1949 !

  4. J.... S....

    I saw Wishbone Ash live two weeks ago. What a band! Great musician, great songs! I will always remember them

  5. a.... n....

    YES !!!!!!!

  6. B.... W....

    ASs tight as King Crimson?!

  7. B.... S....

    Im probably the youngest person on the planet at the age of 28 that jams to this, im an old soul and this track hits me like a ton of bricks. There isnt a band playing today i feel is even worth seeing. This was the golden era of music, and it passed before i was even born. So as a guitarist, musically i bring myself back in time and just think to myself what happened to music....wtf happened....we havnt progressed weve taken 3 steps back. What a shame

  8. c.... n....

    I first heard this song when I
    was 20 years old. 38 years ago. And I still love🥰🥰🥰

  9. c.... n....

    最高‼️‼️‼️👍✨

  10. G.... a....

    KA- I wish

  11. P.... V....

    Argus, a obra prima do Wishbone Ash !!!

  12. A.... S....

    Fighting to be free!!!!!💯

  13. A.... S....

    I used to fantasize I was the "warrior" on the Argus cover, surveying my kingdom....back in the 70's.....first band I ever saw live, Chicago, 71'

  14. k.... H....

    I remember this great album well.
    Back in the day I worked in a factory in the north of England.
    Quite a few of the lads were buying and raving over it, the album cover is fantastically iconic too.

  15. D.... B....

    This...….One of the best! At a party I lifted my head up and said "What.....is.....this.....?" Most triumphant tune in this, right here.

  16. B.... M....

    A properly constructed album. You have to play it all the way thru. so good, classis

  17. S.... Y....

    This is the heaviest folk /rock of all time. Prog rock before the term was invented.

  18. t.... S....

    the album ARGUS with fantastic songs, Today they don't make such music anymore

  19. T.... M....

    Dio used this bass in from warrior in holy diver. Wishbone Ash has had a lot "borrowed" from them. My favorite band of all time most definitely. Their first album came out in 70 on the day I was born.

  20. t.... d....

    I got a big smile when I seen the poster Wishbone Ash, been a while.cool

  21. �.... �....

    Amazing song

  22. S.... K....

    I've never heard of these guys til I stumbled across an article about Iron Maiden's main influences and holy shit, this is just the best

  23. R.... B....

    Sonsera hein

  24. T.... M....

    love these guys with a vengeance....Nuff said!!!!!

  25. V.... K....

    Singing searing beautiful guitar work at it's best. Excellent !

  26. s.... ....

    my favourite waking up tune

  27. F.... E....

    Looking over the comments...yes I also wonder why they weren't more popular. I wonder if it wasn't in part because they were overshadowed by the other groups of the time, The Who, Pink Floyd, Zep, Black Sabbath, to name a few. Great group for sure. I only knew one other guy from my neighborhood that even knew about Wishbone Ash--and he liked them as did I.

    great tune. Never gets old.

  36. R.... ....

    Epic and awesome.

  37. A.... X....

    il finale di quest'album mi distrugge

  38. K.... P....

    An epic masterpiece, so emotional and monumental.
    Argus is a truly gem of the '70s.
    Greetings.

  39. D.... C....

    'Argus' was without doubt one of the most unusual albums ever made. In that, the English band employing deeply Anglo Saxon lyrics combined with progressive rock made the album stand out from all that has come before and frankly since. In western European music this track stands out, echoing the British historic statement of strongly-held, cultural mores and further, intent. Essentially, having defeated all invaders the tiny island gazed out into the world and hated what it saw and at that moment, decided that their hard won freedom was worthless without making all mankind free. Subsequently, the Royal Navy ended slavery across the globe. In closing, no matter what you think of Britain, balancing good and bad, the sum total of their great deeds weighs heavily in their favour.....

    I'm leaving to search for something new,
    Leaving everything I ever knew.
    A hundred years in the sunshine
    Hasn't taught me all there is to know.
    In the valley, we will gather there,
    Helpless in our surrender.
    Tomorrow the plow becomes the sword 
    Make us stronger in our danger.
    Time will pass away,
    Time will guard our secret.
    I'll return again
    To fight another day.
    I'd have to be a warrior 
    A slave I couldn't be 
    A soldier and a conqueror,
    Fighting to be free

  48. V.... S....

    The best song and best album ever!

  49. S.... ....

    I came here from game grumps

  50. D.... V....

    One of the best band!!

    D.... V....

    Check out this band you will love them! https://youtu.be/qasgKb4jk78

  51. L.... S....

    This is heavy metal

    L.... S....

    It is POETRY

    L.... S....

    De hecho es una de las bandas favoritas de Steve Harris.

  52. M.... A....

    Any time of day this is awesome !!!

  53. B.... P....

    I haven't forgotten the words...it's forty years since I heard this!

  54. A.... N....

    Sublime.

  55. m.... p....

    lead unsatisfactoraly evaluated remember

  56. N.... ....

    Hard to believe that one of the best guitarists in ‘73 was named Ted Turner.

    N.... ....

    Any relation to Nick Turner's Hawkwind x

  57. R.... S....

    This song reminds me of the Lebanese Civil War 1975-1976.

  58. S.... S....

    I was lucky to see this band in concert in '74 or '75. Their technical excellence impressed me a great deal. They were amazing. Returning Vietnam Vets. turned me on to them. Those were halacious days. Those memories are special and strong. Most music today lacks substance and soul. I wish the '70's never ended.
    Peace.

    S.... S....

    Check out this band you will love them! https://youtu.be/qasgKb4jk78

  59. J.... M....

    Estoy impactado con este grupo!....la verdad nunca lo había escuchado, me fui con las corrientes de las masas que escuchaban a ciertos grupos sin saber que existía musica tan sublime como esta!!...que brutal musica!!!!

  60. o.... b....

    listening to this makes me want to check on e-bay for a wishbone ash tee shirt

    o.... b....

    orson boggs me too !

  61. V.... ....

    Found this song through World of Warcraft TradeChat, by asking people's favourite song. Awesome.

  62. N.... ....

    My second favourite album of all time. Every song a killer. The original epic twin guitar band

    N.... ....

    Try some Uriah Heep, Anon, that's THE original twin guitar band (I recommend High Priestess for a good appreciation of early twin guitar work)

    N.... ....

    @Lorenzo Giani No way , Uriah Heap has never been considered a "twin guitar" band. Guitarist Mick Box, a fine player, doubled his leads in the studio. Ken Hensley was more of a keyboardist, a very good one but not much of a guitarist. No way are they THE original twin guitar band.

    N.... ....

    @John Dickey Ok maybe I exaggerated a little bit lol. But yet, they have some pioneering work with twin guitar, studio or not

    N.... ....

    As a matter of interest what is your FIRST favourite album?

  63. J.... A....

    Tendré que ser un guerrero
    Un esclavo no podría ser
    Un soldado y un conquistador
    Luchando por ser libre

  64. p.... d....

    67 now, but boy am I lucky to know what great music I experienced over all those years

    p.... d....

    Me, too, 67 years of age! Remember when the Beatles KICKED ASS; I was 13 years then...

  65. s.... b....

    this was the best album they produced I was 12 when introduced to them by my two older brothers and been hooked ever since now 54 still sounds excellent I love the sound of the guitars the sound is such a pure sweet sound

  66. c.... ....

    Ka - I Wish (Death Poem)

  67. N.... ....

  69. A.... Z....

  70. A.... M....

    I Wish (Death Poem)

    A.... M....

    And Revelations (Iron Maiden)

  71. m.... ....

    spinal tap. wicked cover though. reminds me of roxy's avalon. theres something here thats really good. don't tell anybody...

  72. C.... M....

    Was in SEA when I heard this the first time. 1972 I think. Blew me away.

  73. B.... J....

    Debbie Feherty - do you remember this?

  74. A.... W....

    that solo is mind melting

  75. S.... R....

    I bought his album when I was in high school. Still have it...45 years later.

    S.... R....

    Find any other classics?

    S.... R....

    I still play my original vinyl copy when I need to unwind.

    S.... R....

    Steve Robinson, the same with me

  76. B.... O....

    Semper Fi.. Do or Die.. Our time may come again..!!

  77. M.... E....

    Intro is great. Did my earbuds let me down?... left channel rapes suddenly. Yes...

  78. M.... E....

    This band was superior to some of the mainstream bands that had a long and successful run.

  79. F.... r....

    I love this band

  80. P.... ....

    Alguien tendria que traducir este temazo.

  81. P.... ....

    Muy bueno.

  82. w.... ....

    Has to be a toss-up between this and Steve Hunter/Dick Wagner intro to Sweet Jane on Rock N'Roll Animal for best dual guitar intros

    w.... ....

    +whisky2roxy I saw that act at the Rainbow, Lou Reed was incredible and that tune was the opener, it was 73 the band were pure rock, all hair and flares, Lou Reed came on stage with cropped hair, plastic sunglasses and plastic leather jacket and brought the house down!!

  83. g.... m....

    The only band back in the early 70s that i said would be super stars and never was.

    g.... m....

    they are to me and my soul

    g.... m....

    my fav eva

    g.... m....

    Pastor Rex Cat Well it didn't work did it? Sadly.

    g.... m....

    along with budgie and triumph are my picks for 70's band who didn't get the public recognition they deserved.

    g.... m....

    Maybe just as well, as I still listen to them regularly. They just dont go out of date.

  84. E.... G....

    My first time travelling outside Canada was 1971. I was in England, read in MME that they were playing in Manchester, so I went up there to their concert--brilliant. I also saw them back in Canada years later in Toronto. I think both them and Gentle Giant were the two best rock bands I ever saw.

    E.... G....

    funny, they never opened for Led Zeppelin, back in 71, both bands were getting to be popular then. look how they are, now.

  85. T.... C....

    This is a very powerful song!

  86. S.... ....

    Oh man, I've searched for this song everywhere. I remember I had it on a casette tape, when I was like 11. My dad sold most of his old discs so I was hopeless to find it,since I had no idea of what band this song was from. And look! I'm listening to it after 21 years of hiatus.. feels good!

    S.... ....

    I remember, my brother, listening to led Zeppelin, back in the day, though I had no idea, who they were. now I'm older, (and wiser) I'm beginning to like their music, and remember seeing wishbone ash, playing, on "don kirshner's, rock concert, on TV, back in the day when I was younger. then.

  87. D.... M....

    Simply timeless; human nature repeats, this exemplifies our existence; will ever learn... thank you WA for this succinct piece of music.

  88. S.... L....

    If I ever go to War this is the tune I will march to!

    S.... L....

    the marines, should have used this song, in one of their commercials. it would've be fitting.

    S.... L....

    I listened to this song everyday my son was in bootcamp. I think the same as you do. Perfect for the Marines. My son though said it would be better if someone like Metallica sang it though.

  89. D.... D....

    warrior for greece meens die for me till the end continue from the time of your brain and when happens that you feel the God before he come too you but for him come and how many time of continue for him has the pain?greetings

  90. D.... P....

    excellent guitar work <3

  91. G.... T....

    Such a shame the band never really moved on from Argus . Apart from a couple of tracks on There's the Rub , that was it , various splits and changes in line up , they could never re-create or move on from there zenith that was and is Argus

    G.... T....

    All the music I listened to in 60s and 70s, I somehow missed this. I remember hearing about them but never actually heard them. Sad that I missed out then but making up for it now. Real masterpiece!

    G.... T....

    I have to disagree, I think New England is Amazing

    G.... T....

    Gary Tarr
    Well Gary if you listen a bit harder

    You might surprise yourself

    G.... T....

    Gary
    They did more in said album than
    Thousands of facile bands could ever hope to achieve

  92. J.... S....

    when your dad permentley plays all their songs in the car you get to know them and im 15

    J.... S....

    Josh Sacre they didn't sound like Frank Sinatra did they?

  93. J.... H....

    I'll have to be a warrior
    A slave I couldn't be
    A soldier and a conqueror
    Fighting to be free <3

    @DNA Cowboy Well, well, there's still some overlap with continental Europe though. According to FTDNA's My Origins 2.0 I'm 41% British - though my paper trail says 0%!
