Originally performed by Venom

Across infernal wastelands

Many miles of sunburnt Hell

Tribes are scattered limbs

And dust all laying as they fell

Open lies the challenge to all

Warriors now men

Let the spirits guide the winds

Until Manitou ascends



Manitou

Manitou

Manitou

Manitou



Watch the unseen burial

Eclipse the blazing skies

Feast the wings of death

With Manitou the soul shall vie

Distant beats the wardance

Echo screams out liberty

Patience stalks the crow

White man's scalp brings victory



Manitou

Manitou

Manitou

Manitou



Mighty be the powers

Of the old medicine man

Whispers of his raindance

Flow across the desert sands

Guardian of the elder spirit

Summoning the storm

Awaiting his arrival

Manitou of flesh is born



Manitou

Manitou

Manitou
