Lyrics

Kings of Metal

[Verse 1]

Manowar, Manowar, living on the road

When we're in town, speakers explode

We don't attract wimps

'Cause we're too loud

Just true metal people

That's Manowar's crowd

[Chorus]

They wanna keep us down

But they can't last

When we get up

We're gonna kick your ass

Gonna keep on burning

We always will

Other bands play, Manowar kills

Other bands play, Manowar kills

[Verse 2]

We like it hard, we like it fast

We got the biggest amps

Man, they blast

True metal people wanna rock, not pose

Wearing jeans and leather

Not Cracker Jack clothes

[Chorus]

They wanna keep us down

But they can't last

When we get up

We're gonna kick your ass

Gonna keep on burning

We always will

Other bands play, Manowar kills

Other bands play, Manowar kills

[Guitar Solo]

[Interlude]

Now listen to me

[Verse 3]

We are the kings of metal

Coming to town

When we light up

Have the roof nailed down

Don't try to tell us that we're too loud

'Cause there ain't no way

That we'll ever turn down

[Chorus]

They wanna keep us down

But they can't last

When we get up

We're gonna kick your ass

Gonna keep on burning

We always will

Other bands play, What?

(Manowar kills!)

[Outro]

We're the kings of metal

Kick your ass

Kick your ass

Manowar kills

Coming to town, we're gonna

Kick your ass

We're the kings of metal

Manowar kills

Coming to town, we're gonna

Kick your ass

We're the kings of metal

Manowar kills

Kick your ass

Manowar kills

We're the kings of metal

Kick your ass

Coming to town

Manowar kills

Coming to town, we're gonna

Kick your ass

Kings of metal

Manowar kills

Kick your ass
