Lyrics

[00:40.46] Along deserted avenues
[00:42.90] Steam begins to rise
[00:45.15]
[00:45.71] The figures primed and ready
[00:47.59]
[00:48.09] Prepared for quick surprise
[00:49.96]
[00:50.59] He's watching for a sign
[00:54.03]
[00:56.08] His life is on the line
[00:59.89]
[01:01.01] Sworn to avenge
[01:02.70]
[01:04.01] Condemn to Hell
[01:05.32]
[01:06.51] Tempt not the blade
[01:08.34] All fear the Sentinel
[01:11.22] Dogs whine in the alleys
[01:13.71] Smoke is on the wind
[01:15.47]
[01:16.09] From deep inside its empty shell
[01:18.85] A cathedral bell begins
[01:20.78]
[01:21.40] Ringing out its toll
[01:24.41]
[01:26.41] A storm begins to grow
[01:30.23]
[01:31.36] Sworn to avenge
[01:33.73]
[01:34.60] Condemn to Hell
[01:36.10]
[01:37.04] Tempt not the blade
[01:38.33] All fear the Sentinel
[01:40.90]
[01:44.27] Amidst the upturned burned-out cars
[01:46.77] The challengers await
[01:49.27] And in their fists clutch iron bars
[01:52.03] With which to seal his fate
[01:54.52] Across his chest is scabbards rest
[01:57.14] The rows of throwing knives
[01:59.58] Whose razor points in challenged tests
[02:02.36] Have finished many lives
[02:04.42]
[03:12.15] Now facing one another
[03:13.71]
[03:14.46] The stand-off eats at time
[03:16.21]
[03:17.15] Then all at once a silence falls
[03:19.77] As the bell ceases its chime
[03:21.65]
[03:22.40] Upon this sign the challengers
[03:24.59] With shrieks and cries rush forth
[03:27.84] The knives fly out like bullets
[03:30.40] Upon their deadly course
[03:32.34]
[03:32.96] Screams of pain and agony
[03:35.34] Rent the silent air
[03:38.03] Amidst the dying bodies
[03:40.14]
[03:40.89] Blood runs everywhere
[03:42.64]
[03:43.45] The figure stands expressionless
[03:45.95] Impassive and alone
[03:47.58]
[03:48.89] Unmoved by this victory
[03:51.21] And the seeds of death he's sown
[03:54.89]
[03:56.51] Sworn to avenge
[03:58.76]
[03:59.51] Condemn to Hell
[04:01.08]
[04:02.08] Tempt not the blade
[04:03.70] All fear the Sentinel
[04:05.55]
[04:06.68] Sworn to avenge
[04:08.55]
[04:09.75] Condemn to Hell
[04:11.18]
[04:12.37] Tempt not the blade
[04:13.86] All fear the Sentinel
[04:15.97]
[04:16.85] Sworn to avenge
[04:18.97]
[04:20.03] Condemn to Hell
[04:21.28]
[04:22.85] Tempt not the blade
[04:23.84] All fear the Sentinel
[04:26.22]
[04:27.16] Sworn to avenge
[04:29.59]
[04:30.34] Condemn to Hello
[04:31.84]
[04:32.71] Tempt not the blade
[04:33.63] All fear the Sentinel
