The title track from Manowar’s fourth album, Sign of the Hammer is about riding into glory, prepared to win the battle, because it is your time to win.
The spell has been broken
The curse has been lifted
Black is the wind
On the heels of the gifted
Four sworn to vengeance
See the hate in our eyes
Called by the Gods and given a sign
Onward pounding into glory ride
Sign of the hammer, be my guide
Final warning, all stand aside
Sign of the hammer, it's my time
Pounding, pounding
We're back from the dead
Those who denied us, are delivered instead
Into the hands of four sworn to ride
Now the people will triumph
And live by the sign
Onward pounding into glory ride
Sign of the hammer, be my guide
Final warning, all stand aside
Sign of the hammer, it's my time
The spell has been broken
The curse has been lifted
Black is the wind
On the heels of the gifted
Four sworn to vengeance
See the hate in our eyes
Called by the Gods and given a sign
Onward pounding into glory ride
Sign of the hammer, be my guide
Final warning, all stand aside
Old men and young boys, it's my time
Sign of the hammer, it's my time
Sign of the hammer, be my guide
Sign of the hammer, be my guide
Sign of the hammer, it's my time
