Manowar, the over-the-top barbarian metal band known for their tacky hyper-masculine sword and sorcery outfits and lyrics, has been pummeling audiences with their unique brand of warrior rock for over three decades.

The themes touched on in Manowar’s lyrics typically include blood and swords and power and hammers and magic. The timeless cliches make it almost too easy to parody the act, who almost seem a parody of themselves already. Though, if Manowar is a parody, they’ve never let on—they’ve managed to keep up the facade since 1980.

Programmer Douglas Matoso, obviously seizing upon the common themes throughout Manowar’s lyrical oeuvre, has created the “Manowar lyrics generator,”  which does exactly what the title says. Click “generate a new song” and get pure gold like:

Attack power
Burn their mighty fire
Fight the heavy hammer
Feel all the screaming battle
Attack your master and metal
They ride my master

Behold their heavy fire and the bloody wind
Attack my heavy hammer
Behold their heavy fire and the bloody wind
Burn the death and wind

Fight kings
Ride my master
Behold brave steel without power against the horse
We behold your sword

Behold their heavy fire and the bloody wind
Behold their heavy fire and the bloody wind
Behold their heavy fire and the bloody wind
Behold their heavy fire and the bloody wind

I just wasted an hour of my life on this brutally awesome lyrics generator.

Follow the link above to make your own. Perhaps the members of Manowar will discover this and use it to write their next album? I don’t think anyone would even notice.
