I remember watching Jason and the Argonauts a few years after I first heard this song and then upon seeing the skeletons scene, I ended up yelling out OMEN!!! loud upon realising that this was the very scene that inspired the last verse. Then I sang out the verse: Ohh...Our battle has come And I fear to run But with my blade of steel the serpent is done From his teeth on the ground With an evil sound Grow skeletons of death Wanting my soul..... This is the greatest thing about heavy metal/power metal, the bands wrote songs as epic as the films and fictional works such as books etc that inspired them and I felt a lot during that scene.
I grew up listening to Omen, Warlord, Crimson Glory. The few, the proud. This music is truely awesome. Thank you for this video. J.D. K. ....r.i.p. you are missed.
Has anyone ever experienced having a 32GB thumbdrive full of music in the car, and then this song comes on and you end up playing it on repeat every time you drive for the next month? Then you realise a 5mb thumbdrive is all you actually needed
I remember seeing their ad in the back of a metal magazine promoting BATTLE CRY Ordered the vinyl and cassette tape , still have it at home to this day , they should have left the L.A. area and headed to the Bay area , that's were it was happening ... The album cover was skeletons in Armour resembling the band members killing knights in shining Armour ....
This song still gives me goosebumbs all these years after! m a s t e r p i e c e \,,/ Oh, and super quality upload, I enjoyed the video very much. Thanx :D

One of the best, most powerful vocal performances ever! Gives me the chills every time!
Songs like this aren't written nowadays!!🤟
This song was my every day Hymn when I was going to school and still I can't stop listening it !!!!🤘🤘🤘
The only singer that stands close to the embodiement of manliness and heroism that is KING Eric Adams..REST IN GLORY J.D KIMBALL.
J.D. Kimball had a powerful voice! Rest in Power eternal warrior of metal!
Omen 1984-1987 one of the best periods of true heavy metal ever
Can't agree more! Still got that album btw. Lucky me I lived that period :) \,,/
R.I.P. J.D. Kimball. Best line up Omen ever had.
Going to look them up live. Thanks to JoseTormentor for the info.
This song is the ultimate madness, can't stop listen to it
