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 |
