Skrewdriver "Warlord"

 

WARLORD

Spoken intro:
Once upon a time, long ago, or maybe not so, in a land that progress had attempted to destroy. Where many people had lost hope, and the enemy reigned with cruelty and evil. This land where once the people were proud and free, now they cowered in fear and servility. From this desert of destruction and despair, once more to the fore in his nation's hour of need... to the enemy's terror, and his people's elation, came the Warlord...

No one's ever gonna take away his land
Not whilst he has the power in his hands
He appears when his nation is in danger
To all our enemies he's the slayer

(chorus)
Warlord, I'll tell you of his story
Warlord, riding into glory
Warlord, the power's in his hands
Warlord, saviour of this land

Fear no evil, whilst he is at hand
He's been the guardian since time began
Protector of the people and the pride
With him at our head now we shall ride to victory

(chorus)

instrumental break

(chorus)

No one messes with the people when he's around
Heed this warning enemies and get out now
All those traitors out there he knows who you are
Battlecries are sounding warriors near and far, near and far

(chorus)

Warlord!
Warlord!
Warlord!
Warlord!
Warlord!

ONE IN A MILLION II

(Tribute to the Leibstandarte-SS Adolf Hitler)

Into battle, a fearless man
Been around since the struggle began
Saw it all through the worry and pain
Fought hard in every loss and gain
He did it all for his people
He stood and fought against the evil

(chorus)
One in a million, he battled so hard
One in a million, leader of the guard
One in a million, he battled for you
One in a million, his honour is true

'33 was the Order's start
Ten thousand to begin the guard
Clear the streets as the troopers march
Storm columns ready to start now
They marched from tyranny to freedom
The people with the hero there to lead them

(chorus)

instrumental break

(chorus)

Now they're ready to give their all
They can hear their forefathers' call
Death will march at their right hand
Victory will be the black bands'
Marching for a Europe of the people
And at their head their gallant leader

(chorus)

OUT IN THE COLD (BIG DEAL)

Out in the cold
Out in the cold now

The powers say to us now do as you're told
Or you could find yourself out in the cold
They say they'll use their agents to grind us down
They have their puppets everywhere as we have found

(chorus)

Out in the cold
Kicked out of the fold, yeah, now
Out in the cold
Yeah, but we'll never sell-out to you
Out in the cold

They use paid traitors to air their views
They lied and they cheated and they use a ruse
They have their methods, yeah, spreading lies
They'll never crush our spirit, it will never die

(chorus)

instrumental break

(chorus)

I've never seem then use such dirty tricks
They're trying to use a law against guitar licks
And if the law ain't legal well they say "so what"
It's just another erosion in our nation's rot, now

(chorus)

Out in the cold
Out in the cold now
Out in the cold
Out in the cold

THEIR KINGDOM WILL FALL

They came upon our people in the dead of the night
Death and destruction in the morning light
Jail for our fighters, bondage for the strong
They've had their own way for far too long

(chorus)
Their kingdom will fall
Their kingdom will fall

They put the people into debt and slavery
It's not the way a healthy nation should be
They censored what we said, they censored what we thought
But now is the time that we cannot be bought

(chorus)

instrumental break

(chorus)

They tried to put us on a highway to hell
But now we'll wake our people with the toll of the bell
Our land will be ours, our people will be free
Now we're on the road to recovery

(chorus) x2

THE EVIL CREPT IN

They've done it all behind our backs
Took advantage of the feelings we lacked
And now it's coming up to midnight
We're gonna have to stand up and fight

(chorus)
What they've done here is a mighty sin
When the people were sleeping, the evil crept in

When they did one thing, but no-one cared
Then they did another, but no-one was aware
No-one seemed bothered as they planned our fate
They hoped we wouldn't wake up before it's too late

(chorus)

instrumental break

(chorus)

They tried to take it all but now we're awake
We're fighting back for our nation's sake
They'll try and use the traitors to cover their tracks
But the people are aroused, there's no turning back

(chorus) x2

SIMPLE MAN
(written by Rossington/Van Zant)

My mother told me, when I was young
Come sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely, to what I say
And if you do this, it will help you some sunny day

Oh take your time now, don't live too fast
Troubles will come, and troubles will pass
Go find a woman, and you'll find love
And don't forget son, there's someone up above

(chorus)
And be a simple kind of man
Oh be something, yeah, you love and understand
And be a simple, yeah, kind of man
Oh won't you do this for me son, if you can

Forget the lust now, for rich man's gold
All that you need is, is in your soul
And you can do this son, if you try
All that I want for you my son, is to be satisfied

(chorus)

instrumental break

(chorus)

But don't you worry, you'll find yourself
Follow your heart, and nothing else
And you can do this, if you try
All that I want for you my son, is to be satisfied

(chorus) x2

SOAR ALOFT

The country's rugged heathland
See the nation's sea and sand
This our people's pride and joy now
Yeah, this our motherland

(chorus)
Soar aloft you Golden Eagle
High above the sea and sand
High above the dark oak forests now
Hail to you my motherland

Old ancient oak trees
And dark beech groves
Greening birch trees
Frame the meadow-land, soar aloft now...

(chorus)

instrumental break

(chorus)

Farmers and towns-people, of true blood stock
Always hail now to their homeland, in loyalty, soar aloft now
Here motherland, always be our watchword
Our loyalty to the homeland, in all times to come, soar aloft now...

(chorus) x4

BACK IN BLACK
(written by Young, Young, and Johnston)

Back in black, hit the sack
I've been too long I'm glad to be back
Let loose, from the noose, that kept me hanging about
I keep looking at the sky 'cause it's getting me high
Forget the hearse 'cos I'll never die
I've got, 9 lives, cat's eyes
Usin' every one of them and running wild

(chorus)
'Cos I'm back, yeah I'm back
We'll I'm back, Yeah I'm back
Back, back
Back in black
Back in black!

Back in the back of a Cadillac
Number one with a bullet in a power pack
Now, altogether, with the gang
Gotta catch me if they want me to hang
On the track, beat the flack
Nobody's gonna get me on another rap, now
Look at a me now, making my play
Try and push your luck or get out of my way

GLORY

Deutschland erwache!

It took us twelve hours since the journey began
Until we finally came to the Fatherland
Dortmund City was the rendezvous
Proud German comrades doing what they could do, and now...

(chorus)
Bring back the glory of Deutschland
Bring back the glory of Deutschland

We traveled with comrades across the north
We went to do a concert for the people's cause
And now a thousand heart-beats beat as one
German-British friendship it will carry on

(chorus)
Über alles!

instrumental break

(chorus)

And then upon a tour of some German cities
The beer was strong and the girls were pretty
All our German comrades and all our friends
You can rest assured we will be back again

(chorus) x2

EXCALIBUR

It derived from the time of legends
Came Merlin to put claim upon the King
Took him far away from Tintagel
And gave to him the knowledge of many things

(chorus)
Excalibur, it came to Arthur - Excalibur!
The sword that came from the lady of the lake - Excalibur!
And one day as the nation cries in agony - Excalibur!
The king will rise again for our people's sake

As Uther died with Arthur's reign beginning
The nation's dreams became reality
The hopes the people had in the Round Table, at Camelot
The power of the sword slayed enemies

(chorus)

instrumental break

(chorus)

Protector of the future, Merlin took the infant king
And no one saw him 'til he claimed his crown
And since his death his spirit lays in Avalon, in Avalon
Waiting 'til his rebirth comes around

THE WARRIOR'S SONG

Returning home from the battlefields
Take your seat in the hall of kings
Celebrating recent victories
Look to wars the future yet may bring

The warrior is he, fighting for victory!
The warrior is he, fighting for victory!

(chorus)
Let's drink to our mighty warriors
Let's drink to the northern winds
Let's drink to our women's beauty
Let's drink before the war begins.

When you're young you chose the lifestyle of the warrior
To live and die to keep your people free
You had good times, you had bad times, never did a thing by halves
Your life is built around honour and loyalty

The warrior is he, fighting for victory!
The warrior is he, fighting for victory!

(chorus)

Let's drink to the coming battle
Let's drink to the blood-soaked fields
Let's drink to the thrill of combat
Let's drink as our foes all yield

(chorus)

instrumental break

SUDDENLY

We live in changing times
When certain thoughts are now a crime
Power flows through an evil pen
And freedom's light in growing dim

(chorus)
One day if suddenly, I'm forced to take my leave
Will you still carry on, with the things that we believe?
One day if suddenly, they take my life away
Will you still be fighting to win a bright new day?

The people who've stood against us
They seem to be above the law
With the power to listen into private moments in our lives
And the power to come kick down your door

(chorus)

Our strength has come from ideals many years' old
A strength that has survived within our blood
A strength our foe has recognized, and sworn to drag it down
He wants to drag our people through the mud

(chorus) x2
