Manowar - 'El Gringo' (official lyric video)

El Gringo

Don’t look for me in heaven
Don’t look for me in hell
Never taking me alive
I got no soul to sell

Don’t look for me in prison
Don’t try to save my soul
I’m a man without a country
And I got no place to go

You can say I’m just a gringo
You can say I’m just a man
I live outside the law
Doing anything I can

I keep the laws I make
And I break the laws you keep
I’m living on the edge
Living on the street

Don’t look for me in heaven
Don’t look for me in hell
Never taking me alive
I got no soul to sell

Don’t look for me in prison
Don’t try to save my soul
I’m a man without a country
And I got no place to go

Each day I fight to live
I fight to stay alive
Don’t get in my way
Unless you wanna die

One who stands tall
Never stands alone

Don’t look for me in heaven
Don’t look for me in hell
Never taking me alive
I got no soul to sell

Don’t look for me in prison
Don’t try to save my soul
I’m a man without a country
And I got no place to go

You can say I’m just a gringo
You can say I’m just a man
I live outside the law
Doing anything I can

I keep the laws I make
And I break the laws you keep
I’m living on the edge
Living on the street

Don’t look for me in heaven
Don’t look for me in hell
Never taking me alive
I got no soul to sell

Don’t look for me in prison
Don’t try to save my soul
I’m a man without a country
And I got no place to go

Μία δεκαετία πίσω μας γυρίζουν οι Manowar "ανεβάζοντας" στο YouTube κανάλι τους το lyric video του ύμνου "El Gringo" από τον δίσκο "The Lord of Steel" που κυκλοφόρησε το 2012 (σε δύο εκδόσεις, την retail τον Οκτώβριο και την Hammer Edition τον Ιούνιο). Όσον αφορά το τραγούδι "El Gringo" τα "είχαμε πει" αναλυτικά τότε μέσα από ετούτη την ιστοσελίδα...

Δελτίο τύπου: «“El Gringo” from Manowar's 2012 release “The Lord Of Steel” is the theme song for the eponymous action western featuring Scott Adkins ("Expendables 2", "The Bourne Ultimatum") and Christian Slater (“Broken Arrow”, “Interview With The Vampire”).

First released in June 2012 as Hammer Edition in collaboration with Metal Hammer UK, “The Lord Of Steel” is blazing with pure power, untamed energy, and a sound as raw and wild as a force of nature. Track titles like “Annihilation” and “Hail, Kill And Die!” set the tone for a record that is packed with surprises.

“...this album is all about brutality and raw power!” explained Manowar bassist Joey DeMaio.

Known for their adventurous spirit, Manowar tapped into the world of action heroes and their stories for this album, writing their first song for a Hollywood movie, ‘”El Gringo” and another one, “Expendable”, inspired by Sylvester Stallone’s action movie franchise "The Expendables".

The album “The Lord Of Steel” is also available as retail edition, featuring different versions of the songs, different mixes and master and spectacular new cover art by fantasy artist Ken Kelly.»
