Manowar - 'Swords In The Wind' (Live At Hell & Heaven Metal Fest)

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

Τον Ιούλιο του 2002 οι Manowar υποδέχθηκαν (δισκογραφικά) τον νέο αιώνα και την νέα χιλιετία με την κυκλοφορία του album "Warriors of the World", έξι χρόνια μετά το "Louder than Hell". Ανάμεσα στα τραγούδια και το μπαλαντοειδές "Swords In The Wind" (το οποίο βρίσκεται και στην λίστα με αγαπημένα μας Manowar τραγούδια του 21ου αιώνα). Σήμερα θα το απολαύσουμε (σε βίντεο) από την παρθενική εμφάνιση των Manowar στο Μεξικό. Αυτό έγινε στις 14 Μαρτίου 2020 στο πλαίσιο του μουσικού φεστιβάλ "Hell & Heaven Metal Fest", στο οποίο οι Manowar είναι headliners...

Δελτίο τύπου: «Two years ago today Manowar made metal history by playing their first ever show in Mexico. Thanks to the faith and persistance of our Mexican Manowarriors, Manowar was finally able to experience the magic of playing in Mexico. “Our fans never gave up hope that we would come. We made a promise to our fans that when we came it would be with all our power and they promised to never lose their belief in Manowar!” said Joey DeMaio. To honor this historic day we have released the first video from this show.»
