These three are all played with little improvisation several times,
until finally they ring out and fade
IV. Armor of the Gods
This song is a drum solo, and while I could take the time to devise a
method of TABbing it for drums,
is there actually anyone out there that listens to this song?
V. Hector's Final Hour
The song is directly linked to Armor of the Gods, and this Intro may
actually be considered part of
Armor of the Gods, you'd have to ask Manowar to be sure

(N.C.)Bm                                                  A5
Cowards in the grip of fear no valor to uphold
Cut into the earth with honor long been sold
For all shall come to know me as they fall unto their knees
Zeus the thunderer control my destiny
When the cards of life were dealt my hand a ruthless fate
To avenge and bringeth fury Hector feel my hate
A bloodbath I was born to bring my life I'm an assassin
To cut the cord of life and death ties to earth unfasten
w/Rhy.Fig.1 (2 Times)

Verse 2 (over Riff A 8 Times)
(N.C.)Bm
Hector's blood lies on the battlefield his body's mangled wounds
The Gods who once protected him are now his Gods of doom
Like a tower standing tall steadfast in direction
I fall upon your bringing death the Gods give no protection
Coward in the grip of fear no valor to uphold
Cut into the eart, with honor long been sold
For all shall come to know me as they fall unto their knees
Zeus the thunderer control my destiny
w/Rhy.Fig.1 (2 Times)
