Manowar - Dark Avenger

Dark Avenger

He broke the Laws of the elder
So they blocked out his eye
Took his land and fortune
Left himto die
Bound on the shoreline
Left for the tide
Sees life blood fleeding
Circuling lower the vultures fly
The bones may be broken
But the spirit can not die
And the Gods sees his anguish
And gi have hima sign
From the floor of the ocean
The ship of the Lost souls arise
And they take himaway, where no one sleeps when the undead cry
Where no one sleeps when the undead cry
And in the world above
The elders sing
On his land they li have
Let death bell ring
Narration:
He was met at the gate of Hades
At the Guardian of the Lost Souls
The Keeper of the Unavenged
And He did say to him:
"Let himnot pass
Abaddon
But return to the world
From whence he came
And seek payment
Not only for thine own anguish
But vindicate the souls
of The Unavenged"
And they placed to his hand
A sword
Made for him
Called: Vengeance
Forged in brimstone
And tempered
By the woeful tears of the Unavenged
And to carry himupon on his journey
Back to the upper world
They brought forth
Their Demon horse
Called: Black Death
A grimsteed
So fierce in might
And black in colour
That he could stand as one in darkness
Safe from his burning eyes
In crimson fire
And that night
They rode up from Hell
The pounding from his hoofs
Did clap like thunder
Chorus:
Burning, death, destruction
Raping the daughters and wives
In blood I take my payment
In full with they 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
A 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 full with they lives
I spare that land of servants
My wake is slow death
I take their wives and daughters
They stand there watching, watching
Hoping to buy their lives
But when Imthrough they know they must pay
Chorus:
Burning, death, destruction
Raping the daughters and wives
In blood I take my payment
In full with they lives
With they lives
With they lives
With they lives
