Warriors Prayer Lyrics

    Grandfather, tell my a story!
    Alright, go and get your storybook.
    No, no, not one of those, a real story!
    A real story?
    Yes, tell me about when you were a boy.
    Well, then, i shall have to take you back with me,
    A long way in time...

    "it was my thirteenth year on a cold winter's
    Day, as i walked through the enchanted
    Forest, i heard the sound of horses, and men
    At arms, i felt compelled to walk on and
    Find the place of these sounds, and when
    The forest did clear i was standing on a
    Hill before me the armies of the worlds
    Standing, waiting. i thought to myself, for
    Whom or for what are they waiting?
    Suddenly a gust of wind came up from the
    North, there appeared a lone rider, holding
    A sword of steel, then from the south came
    Another, bearing a battle ax, from the east
    Came a third holding a spiked club, and
    Finally from the west, a rider who weilded
    A great hammer of war. with them came
    Their soldiers of death, followed by an
    Army of immortals. they were few in number
    But the look in their eyes told all who
    Beheld them that they would leave this day
    Only in victory or death. and there was a
    Great silence...
    My heart began to pound, storm clouds
    Filled the sky with darkness, rain came, and
    The four winds blew with such anger that i
    Held fast to a tree. i watched the four
    Riders raise their weapons into the air.
    Without warning, screaming their war cry
    They led the attack, down to the battle they
    Rode, they met the armies of the world with
    A mighty clash! i could feel the ground
    Shake, the earth drank much blood that
    Day. each of the four, was unto himself,a
    Whirlwind of doom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    When the smoke did clear, many thousands
    Were dead. there was much blood and gore.
    Their bodies lay broken and scattered
    Across the battlefield like brown leaves
    Blown by the wind. and i saw the four ride
    Together to the top of the hill, while below
    Them the soldiers of death assembled, all
    Those who would now swear allegiance
    To them.

    And the four spoke the words of the
    Warrior's prayer.

    Gods of war i call you, my sword
    Is by my side.
    I seek a life of honor, free from
    All false pride.
    I will crack the whip with a bold
    Mighty hail.
    Cover me with death if i should
    Ever fail.
    Glory, majesty, unity
    Hail, hail, hail.

    And as i stood and looked on, i heard the
    Armies of the world hail them without
    End, and their voices of victory carried
    Long and far throughout the land!"

    Well, that's it, did you like the story?
    Yeah, it was great!
    Oh good, i'm glad. now off to bed with you.
    Grandfather?
    Yes?
    Who were those four men?
    Who were they?
    They were the metal kings!!!!!!!!!!!!
