Dark Avenger
Lyricist:Joseph Demaio, Ross Friedman
He broke the laws of the elders So they plucked out his eye Took his land and fortune Left him to die
Bound on the shoreline Left for the tide Sees his life-blood leaving Circling lower, the vultures fly
These 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 Ad 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's bell ring
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 ye not pass, Abbadon Return to the world From whence you came'
'And seek payment Not only for thine own 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 woeful tears of the unavenged Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com 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 fearsome in might and black in color That he could stand as one with the darkness
Save for his burning eyes of crimson fire And on that night they rode up from hell The pounding of his hooves Did clap like thunder
Burning, death, destruction Raping their daughters and wives In blood I take my payment In full 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
Burning, death, destruction Raping their daughters and wives In blood I take my payment In full with their lives
I spare not land or servants My wake is smoke and flame I take their wives and daughters They stand there watching
Hoping to gain their lives But when I'm through They know that they must pay
Burning, death, destruction Raping their daughters and wives In blood I take my payment In full with their lives
With their lives With their lives
