Saxon - Power And The Glory Lyrics






I'm a soldier of fortune I'm trained and I'm ready to kill
Put me to battle I'll follow the sound of the gun
Give me an order, command me I'll fire at will

I've got no emotions I'm living with thunder and steel
I don't hear your lies all I hear are your battle cries
I'm a soldier of fortune I'm trained and I'm ready to die

To the power and the glory
Raise your glasses high
To the power and the glory
Be with me tonight

A cold death awaits me tonight if I stumble or fall
My friends lay around me their bodies all tattered and torn
But mine is not to reason why, mine is just to do or die

To the power and the glory
Raise your glasses high
To the power and the glory
Be with me tonight

Can you feel the power
Can you feel the glory
Can you feel the power
Can you feel the glory
Can you feel the power
Is it with you tonight

I'm fighting for freedom, I'm safe, I've got God on my side
What price in life can you justify your battle hymn
The General says we'll will win the war, just sacrificed a thousand more

To the power and the glory
Raise your glasses high
To the power and the glory
Be with me tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight

To the power and the glory
Raise your glasses high
To the power and the glory
Be with me tonight
Tonight, yaya

  60. J.... P....

    terrible song terrible band.

    J.... P....

    +JASON P. Roberts =stupid douche,weak commentator

    J.... P....

    +JASON P. Roberts why?

    J.... P....

    JASON P. Roberts if you don't like Saxon then you're definitely a boy band lover. Each to their own.

  61. B.... B....

    Obviously a bunch of brain dead Iron Maiden fans were here to trash the best anti war song ever written from the best band ever formed in the world of heavy metal SAXON!!!! You come from Northern England you know what I mean. Maiden outsold Saxon, but they never will outshine them. Unlike Iron Maiden who are Imperialists and right wing fanatic war mongers Biff knew that a lot of soldiers and people were gonna die in disgraceful Falklands War. Biff is a unique vocalist like Phil Mogg in UFO and Jon Deverill in Tygers Of Pan Tang are. You just have to look beneath the success and the masses that popularize horrible bands from Maiden to some of the really low class stuff where they don't even have Maiden's musicianship as lacking in emotion as all their music is. Technically they are good, but they are devoid of any compassion and love violence and bloodshed. This video and this song along with many Saxon songs may disturb war veterans, but this is written for the few enlightened people like myself who know that war solves nothing. There is a line left out of the single version: "I'm a soldier Of Fortune I'm Trained And I'm Ready To Die." That says it. To all who sacrificed their lives in battle- rest in peace.

    B.... B....

    Fuck off this ideological bullshit.

    B.... B....

    Benjamin Blake Mitchner I'm thinking you're taking your metal a little toooo seriously there bra.

    B.... B....

    Everyone should loves their country. If you not, don't criticize whom loves. Maiden is great. Saxon too.
    🇧🇷

    B.... B....

    kinda subjective when you label Iron Maiden as "Imperialists and right wing fanatic war mongers"...being a right wing person isn't necessarily related to be a pro war, it's more of an economic view thing, you know? Another point: remember that throughout the history, communist nations envolved themselves in wars as well...

    B.... B....

    I think that's a bit of a harsh interpretation. Iron Maiden were (are) certainly patriotic but I wouldn't say they're imperialist warmongers! Take for example "2 Minutes to Midnight" (whose opening riff seems to have been copied directly from this song), or "Como Estais Amigos", or the whole "A Matter of Life or Death" album, which see things from the point of view of the ordinary soldier and discuss the horrors of war honestly.


    Some of Iron Maiden's songs do lionise war heroes, particularly British ones from WW2, but this is hardly a niche viewpoint. I wouldn't ascribe any particular ideology to them to be honest - about 60% of their songs are about the last film Steve Harris saw or book he read.



    One of my favourite anti-war songs is "Don't Wake The Lion" by Magnum. If you haven't heard it I'm pretty sure you'll like it. And switching genres but about the same topic, "All Together Now" by The Farm.

  62. r.... ....

    Saxon predicted ghostbusters?

    r.... ....

    Power Rangers!

    r.... ....

    Teenage mutant ninja turtles

  63. R.... K....

    AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  64. G.... ....

    So many Inappropriate crotch shots lol.

  65. b.... ....

    two minutes two midnight

    b.... ....

    The song is called "2 Minutes To Midnight" and it's from 1984.
    This one is from 1983.
    So if you suggest that one band "loaned" from the other, that would be Iron Maiden "loaning" from Saxon.

    b.... ....

    +BigDaddyAEL1964 Iron Maiden doesn't steal their music. Plus Raven's Seek and Destroy is similar. It is the most overused riff in Metal history

    b.... ....

    @Svil Buscus
    There is difference between similar and almost the same.Accept as well have the same riff in one song which I currently can`t recall its name.But I agree,this riff is on every corner of metal history.

    b.... ....

    And Riot swords and Tequila too!

    b.... ....

    Dado Simic flash rockin man

  66. g.... b....

    peut être mon titre préféré avec " midas touch"

  67. R.... ....

    Hmmm that intro is Really Close to "Stand Up and Shout" by DIO.
    Which came first? SUAS.......
    Actually I think the riff is just reversed.

    R.... ....

    +RockChild56 Power and the glory was first demoed in early 1982 and recorded in november 1982 in Atlanta , Georgia. The album was releases march 21 1983.
    Holy Diver was releases 3 months later.
