Lyrics

[00:40.190] Along deserted avenues
[00:42.870] Steam begins to rise
[00:45.500] The figures primed and ready
[00:47.890] Prepared for quick surprise
[00:50.510] He's watching for a sign
[00:55.580] His life is on the line
[01:00.590] Sworn to avenge
[01:03.830] Condemn to Hell
[01:06.380] Tempt not the blade
[01:08.300] All fear the Sentinel
[01:11.100] Dogs whine in the alleys
[01:13.550] Smoke is on the wind
[01:16.060] From deep inside its empty shell
[01:18.370] A cathedral bell begins
[01:21.170] Ringing out its toll
[01:26.060] A storm begins to grow
[01:31.100] Sworn to avenge
[01:34.280] Condemn to Hell
[01:36.860] Tempt not the blade
[01:38.210] All fear the Sentinel
[01:44.050] Amidst the upturned burned-out cars
[01:46.540] The challengers await
[01:49.130] And in their fists clutch iron bars
[01:51.660] With which to seal his fate
[01:54.310] Across his chest is scabbards rest
[01:56.910] The rows of throwing knives
[01:59.430] Whose razor points in challenged tests
[02:01.990] Have finished many lives
[03:11.490] Now facing one another
[03:14.250] The stand-off eats at time
[03:16.940] Then all at once a silence falls
[03:19.490] As the bell ceases its chime
[03:22.240] Upon this sign the challengers
[03:24.720] With shrieks and cries rush forth
[03:27.570] The knives fly out like bullets
[03:30.210] Upon their deadly course
[03:32.850] Screams of pain and agony
[03:35.500] Rent the silent air
[03:38.100] Amidst the dying bodies
[03:40.740] Blood runs everywhere
[03:43.340] The figure stands expressionless
[03:45.840] Impassive and alone
[03:48.660] Unmoved by this victory
[03:51.000] And the seeds of death he's sown
[03:56.980] Sworn to avenge
[03:59.350] Condemn to Hell
[04:01.990] Tempt not the blade
[04:03.700] All fear the Sentinel
[04:06.750] Sworn to avenge
[04:09.570] Condemn to Hell
[04:12.240] Tempt not the blade
[04:14.080] All fear the Sentinel
[04:16.840] Sworn to avenge
[04:19.370] Condemn to Hell
[04:22.370] Tempt not the blade
[04:24.090] All fear the Sentinel
[04:27.000] Sworn to avenge
[04:29.550] Condemn to Hell
[04:32.470] Tempt not the blade
[04:34.090] All fear the Sentinel
