Dark Avenger R Friedman J Demaio lyrics

------------------------------------

He broke the laws of the elders

So they blocked out his eye,

Took his land and fortune,

Left him to die



Bound on the shoreline,

Left for the tide,

Seizes life, blood leaving...

Circling lower, the vultures fly



His bones may be broken

But the spirit can`t die

And the Gods see his anguish

And give him a sign



From the floor of the ocean

The ship of the lost souls rise

And they take him where no one sleeps while the undead cry,

Where no one sleeps while the undead cry...



And in the world above

The elders sing,

On his land they live...

Let death bell ring



Narration:

He was met at the gate of Hades

By the Guardian of the Lost Souls,

The Keeper of the Unavenged

And He did say to him:

`Let you not pass

Abandon

Return to the world

From once you came

And seek payment

Not only for thy known anguish

But vindicate the souls

Of the Unavenged`



And they placed in his hands

A sword

Made for him

Called: Vengeance

Forged in brimstone

And tempered

By the Wolf in tears of the Unavenged



And to carry him up on his journey

Back to the upper world

They brought forth

Their Demon horse

Called: Black Death

A grim steed

So fiercely might

And black in colour

That he could stand as one: Darkness...

Save from his burning eyes

of grims and fire



And on that night

They rode up from Hell

The pounding of his hooves

Did clap like thunder !



Chorus:

Burning, death, destruction

Raping the daughters and wives

In blood I take my payment

In foul with their lives



No one can escape me

On Black Death I ride

When kissed by the sword of Vengeance

Your head lays there by your side

I take the lives of all that I once knew

The torn flesh of a slow death waits for you



Chorus:

Burning, death, destruction

Raping the daughters and wives

In blood I take my payment

In foul with their lives



I spare that land of servants

My wake is slow dead there

I take their wives and daughters

They stand there watching, watching

Hoping to get my life

But when I`m through they know they must pay



Chorus:

Burning, death, destruction

Raping the daughters and wives

In blood I take my payment

In foul with they lives

With they lives

With they lives

With they lives
