The Sentinel Lyrics
Along deserted avenuesSteam begins to riseThe figures primed and readyPrepared for quick supriseHe's watching for a signHis life is on the lineSworn to avengeCondemned to hellTempt not the bladeAll fear the sentinelDogs whine in the alleysSmoke is on the windFrom deep inside its empty shellA cathedral bell beginsRinging out its tollA storm begins to growAmidst the upturned burned out carsThe challengers awaitAnd in their fists clutch iron barsWith which to seal his fateAcross his chest in scabbards restThe rows of throwing knivesWhose razor points in challenged testsHave finished many livesNow facing as anotherThe standoff eats at timeThen all at once the silence fallsAs the bell ceases its chimeUpon this sign the challengersWith shrieks and cries rush forthThe knives fly out like bulletsUpon their deadly courseScreams of pain and agonyRent the silent airAmidst the dying bodiesBlood runs everywhereThe figure stands expressionlessImpassive and aloneUnmoved by this victoryAnd the seeds of death he's sown
