Manowar - Battle Hymns lyrics

[R. Friedman/J. DeMaio] By moonlight we ride Ten thousands side by side With swords drawn held high Our whips and armours shine Hail to thee our infantry Still brave beyond the grave All have sworn the eternal vow The time to strike is now [Chorus:] k**, k**, Oh ! k**, k**, Oh ! k**, k**, Oh ! k**, k**, Oh ! Gone are the days when freedom shone Now blood and steel meet bone In the light of the battle's way The sands of time will shade How proud our soldiers stand With mace and chain in hand Sound the charge into glory ride Over the top of the vanguished pride [Chorus:] Victory, victory, Oh ! Victory, victory, Oh ! Victory, victory, Oh ! Victory, victory, Oh ! To the battle we ride We crossed a starlit sky No space no time We'll catch the wind Strange losses, men died We crossed a starlit sky And still no space or time We'll catch the wind [Chorus:] k**, k**, Oh ! k**, k**, Oh ! k**, k**, Oh ! k**, k**, Oh ! Sound of charge into glory ride Over the top of the anguished pride By moonlight we ride Ten thousand side by side [Chorus:] k**, k**, Oh ! k**, k**, Oh ! k**, k**, Oh ! k**, k**, Oh !
