🎵 Battle Hymn // by Manowar

12 Contributors Battle Hymn Lyrics This song is about getting ready for a battle and then fighting for your life. [Verse 1] By moonlight, we ride Ten thousand side by side With swords drawn, held high Our whips and armor shine Hail to thee, our infantry Still brave beyond the grave All have sworn the eternal vow The time to strike is now [Chorus 1] Kill, Kill, oh-oh-oh-oh Kill, Kill, oh-oh-oh Kill, Kill, oh-oh-oh-oh Kill, Kill, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh [Verse 2] Gone are the days, when freedom shone Now blood and steel meet bone In the light of the battle's wake The sense of time will shake How proud our soldiers stand With mace and chain in hand Sound the charge into glory ride Over the top of the vanquished pride [Chorus 2] Victory, victory, oh-oh-oh-oh Victory, victory, oh-oh-oh Victory, victory, oh-oh-oh-oh Victory, victory, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh [Bridge] To the battle, we ride We crossed a starlit sky No space, no time We'll catch the wind Strange losses, men die We crossed a starlit sky And still, no space and time We'll catch the wind [Chorus 1] Kill, Kill, oh-oh-oh-oh Kill, Kill, oh-oh-oh Kill, Kill, oh-oh-oh-oh Kill, Kill, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh [Verse 3] Sound the charge into glory ride Over the top of the vanquished pride By moonlight we ride Ten thousand side by side [Chorus 1] Kill, Kill, oh-oh-oh-oh Kill, Kill, oh-oh-oh Kill, Kill, oh-oh-oh-oh Kill, Kill, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh [Outro] Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh
