The Sentinel Lyrics

The Sentinel lyrics

Along deserted avenues 



Steam begins to rise 



The figures primed and ready 



Prepared for quick surprise 



He's watchin' for a sign 



His life is on the line 



Dogs whine in the alleys 



Smoke is on the wind 



From deep inside its empty shell 



A cathedral bell begins to toll 



A storm begins to grow 



Amidst the upturned burned-out cars 



The challengers await 



And in their fists clutch iron bars 



With which to seal his fate 



Across his chest is scabbards rest 



The rows of throwing knives 



Whose razor points in challenged tests 



Have finished many lives 



Now facing one another 



The stand-off eats at time 



Then all at once a silence falls 



As the bell ceases its chime 



Upon this sign the challengers 



With shrieks and cries rush forth 



The knives fly out like bullets 



Upon their deadly course 



Screams of pain and agony 



Rent the silent air 



Amidst the dying bodies 



Blood runs everywhere 



The figure stands expressionless 



Impassive and alone 



Unmoved by this victory 



And the seeds of death he's sown 



Sworn to avenge 



Condemn to Hell 



Tempt not the blade 



All fear the Sentinel
