Hail and Kill Lyrics
Brothers I am calling from the valley of the kings
with nothing to atone
A dark march lies ahead, together we will ride like
thunder from the sky
May your sword stay wet like a young girl in her
prime
Hold your hammers high
Blood and death are waiting like a raven in the sky
I was born to die
Hear me while I live
As I look into your eyes
None shall hear a lie
Power and dominion are taken by the will
By divine right hail and kill
Hail, Hail, Hail and Kill, Hail and Kill
Hail, Hail, Hail and Kill, Hail and Kill
My father was a wolf
I'm a kinsman of the slain
Sworn to rise again
I will bring salvation, punishment and pain
The hammer of hate is our faith
Power and dominion are taken by the will
By divine right hail and kill
Hail, Hail, Hail and Kill, Hail and Kill
Hail, Hail, Hail and Kill, Hail and Kill
Rip their flesh
Burn their hearts
Stab them in the eyes
Rape their women as they cry
Kill their servants
Burn their homes
Till there's no blood left to spill
Hail and Kill
Power and dominion are taken by the will
By divine right hail and kill
Hail, Hail, Hail and Kill, Hail and Kill
with nothing to atone
A dark march lies ahead, together we will ride like
thunder from the sky
May your sword stay wet like a young girl in her
prime
Hold your hammers high
I was born to die
Hear me while I live
As I look into your eyes
None shall hear a lie
Power and dominion are taken by the will
By divine right hail and kill
Hail, Hail, Hail and Kill, Hail and Kill
I'm a kinsman of the slain
Sworn to rise again
I will bring salvation, punishment and pain
The hammer of hate is our faith
Power and dominion are taken by the will
By divine right hail and kill
Hail, Hail, Hail and Kill, Hail and Kill
Burn their hearts
Stab them in the eyes
Rape their women as they cry
Kill their servants
Burn their homes
Till there's no blood left to spill
Hail and Kill
Power and dominion are taken by the will
By divine right hail and kill

best pump up song in the history of mankind
First and foremost, it's one of the most brutal songs...ever.
That being said, it's not about Nazis, Neo-Nazis, the racist skinhead movement (not all skins are racists, mind you). It's just a song about killing. I do love the lines "May your sword be wet like a young girl in her prime" and "Rape their women as they cry." Brutal. But it's not racists. If you can tell me that this band is racist, keeping in mind they recorded in their 1992 album "The Triumph of Steel" the song "Spirit Horse of the Cherokee" the lyric "Have to sing with pride, Let the white man die." in a song that praises the warrior spirit of the Cherokee (as well as other Native Americans such as the Sioux and Apache) and speaks quite negatively about white people/America imposing the Trail of Tears...if you can still tell me that the band is a racist band, I've got some ocean-front property in North Dakota that I'd like to sell you for real cheap.
True metal, at it's finest.
Really, what utter bullshit.
It's just about killing people.
you don't know then ManOwar you should respect the band and never say the are bullshit
dodaren has no clue, this is clearly a reference to Ragnorok
Any Manowar fan knows that the band is really into their Norse mythos. They are not Nazi's or any kind of skinheads. That comment about WWII and Hitler was completely inane.
I agree with the first poster, just an incredible song about death and combat, fierceness and ferocity. Nothing more, nothing less.
Actually, this song is just fucking sweet.
i agree with nassler
May your sword stay wet like a young girl in her prime!
This line says it all.
