I am the warrior
I serve the death machine
Losers or conquerors
All flash past on my silver screen

Death is no easy answer
For those who wish to know
Ask those who have been before you
What fate the future holds

It ain’t pretty…

I am a messenger
The message here, you must know
I am the warrior
I deliver the fatal blow

So fate will have to wait
Till time can heal the scar
My heart is ruled by Venus
And my head by Mars

About Lyrics and Warriors by Thin Lizzy

When you decide to study the lyrics to Warriors, you're looking at the words, verses and background chorus from the 1976 song by Thin Lizzy. Some of the lyrics to Warriors have clear meanings and some contain metaphorical references. Like most songs, only Thin Lizzy and their collaborators know the full story behind any of the their songs.

You can understand the lyrics to Warriors if you take apart the structure of the words. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Warriors" means the words set to the music of Warriors, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Thin Lizzy. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to Warriors and the lyrics to Warriors are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of Thin Lizzy who came here looking just for the lyrics to Warriors, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
