Manowar - Dark Avenger Lyrics

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 lifeblood 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's 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 ye not pass 
Abandon 
Return to the world 
From whence ye came 
And seek payment 
Not only for thine own anguish 
But to 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 
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 colour 
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 ! 
Chorus: 
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 wait for you 
Chorus: 
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 sloathe and 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 their daughters and wives 
In blood I take my payment 
In full with they lives 
With their lives 
With their lives 
With their lives
