The Sentinel |
Along deserted avenues |
Steam begins to rise |
The figures primed and ready |
Prepared for quick surprise |
He's watching for a sign |
His life is on the line |
Sworn to avenge |
Condemn to hell |
Tempt not the blade |
All fear the sentinel |
Dogs whine in the alleys |
Smoke is on the wind |
From deep inside its empty shell |
A cathedral bell begins |
Ringing out its toll |
A storm begins to grow |
Sworn to avenge |
Condemn to hell |
Tempt not the blade |
All fear the sentinel |
Amidst the upturned burned-out cars |
The challengers await |
And in their fists clutch iron bars |
With which to seal his fate |
Across his chest is scabbards rest |
The rows of throwing knives |
Whose razor points in challenged tests |
Have finished many lives |
Now facing one another |
The stand-off eats at time |
Then all at once a silence falls |
As the bell ceases its chime |
Upon this sign the challengers |
With shrieks and cries rush forth |
The knives fly out like bullets |
Upon their deadly course |
Screams of pain and agony |
Rent the silent air |
Amidst the dying bodies |
Blood runs everywhere |
The figure stands expressionless |
Impassive and alone |
Unmoved by this victory |
And the seeds of death he's sown |
Sworn to avenge |
Condemn to hell |
Tempt not the blade |
All fear the sentinel |
Sworn to avenge |
Condemn to hell |
Tempt not the blade |
All fear the sentinel |
Sworn to avenge |
Condemn to hell |
Tempt not the blade |
All fear the sentinel |
Sworn to avenge |
Condemn to hell |
Tempt not the blade |
All fear the sentinel |
