Ross The Boss - "Heart Of Steel" (Manowar cover)

Build a fire
A thousand miles away
To light my long way home

I ride a comet
My trail is long to stay
Silence is a heavy stone...

I fight the world and take all they can give
There are times my heart hangs low
Born to walk against the wind
Born to hear my name
No matter where I stand I'm alone

Stand and fight
Live by your heart
Always one more try
I'm not afraid to die
Stand and fight
Say what you feel
Born with a heart of steel

Burn the bridge behind you
Leave no retreat
There's only one way home
Those who laugh and crowd the path
And cut each other's throats
Will fall like melting snow
They'll watch us rise with fire in our eyes
They'll bow their heads
Their hearts will hang low
Then we'll laugh and they will kneel
And know this heart of steel was
Too hard to break
Too hard to hold

Stand and fight
Live by your heart
Always one more try
I'm not afraid to die
Stand and fight
Say what you feel
Born with a heart of steel

Το "Heart Of Steel" αποτελεί ένα από τα ωραιότερα (και εμβληματικότερα) τραγούδια όχι μόνο των Manowar, αλλά και γενικότερα του heavy metal σύμπαντος. Πρόκειται για το τρίτο κομμάτι της πρώτης πλευράς (του βινυλίου) του δίσκου "Kings of Metal" που κυκλοφόρησε τον Νοέμβριο του 1988. Σύνθεση του Ross "the Boss" Friedman και του Joey DeMaio. 32 έτη μετά ο Ross the Boss με το προσωπικό του συγκρότημα αποδίδουν ακουστικά τον ύμνο για λογαριασμό του Six String Salute Virtual Concert 2020...
