Dark Avenger - Manowar

[00:43.55]He broke the laws of the elders
[00:48.04]So they plucked out his eye
[00:53.16]Took his land and fortune
[00:57.60]Left him to die
[01:02.96]Bound on the shoreline
[01:04.58]
[01:07.43]Left for the tide
[01:11.61]Sees his life blood leaving
[01:15.42]
[01:16.73]Circling lower the vultures fly
[01:24.03]
[01:24.77]These bones may be broken
[01:29.45]But the spirit cant die
[01:34.01]And the gods see his anguish
[01:38.83]And give him a sign
[01:43.32]From the floor of the ocean
[01:47.06]The ship of the lost souls rise
[01:53.60]And they take him where no one sleeps
[02:00.87]While the undead cry
[02:06.61]Where no one sleeps while the undead cry
[02:11.19]
[02:16.74]And in the world above
[02:21.98]The elders sing
[02:25.80]
[02:26.48]On his land they live
[02:30.10]
[02:30.98]Let deaths bell ring
[02:35.56]
[02:37.37]He was met at the gate of hades
[02:39.99]By the guardian of the lost souls
[02:42.99]The keeper of the unavenged
[02:43.99]
[02:44.74]And he did say to him
[02:48.17]Let you not pass abandon return to the world from once you came
[02:56.22]And seek payment not only for thy known anguish
[02:59.47]
[03:00.97]But vindicate the souls of the unavenged
[03:04.79]
[03:06.45]And placed they in his hands a sword made for him called vengeance
[03:12.26]Forged in brimstone and tempered by the woeful tears of the unavenged
[03:17.71]And to carry him up on his journey back to the upper world
[03:21.58]They brought forth their demon horse called black death
[03:27.81]A grim steed so fiercely might and black in colour
[03:33.43]That he could stand as one with the darkness
[03:37.91]Save from his burning eyes of crimson fire
[03:41.35]And on that night they rode up from hell
[03:46.41]The pounding of his hooves did clap like thunder
[03:56.71]
[04:24.73]Burning death destruction raping the daughters and wives
[04:29.85]In blood I take my payment in full with their lives
[04:35.79]No one can escape me on black death I ride
[04:40.91]When kissed by the sword of vengeance
[04:43.53]Your head lays there by your side
[04:47.21]I take the lives of all that I once knew
[04:51.34]The torn flesh of a slow death waits for you
[04:57.25]
[04:57.98]Burning death destruction raping the daughters and wives
[05:03.34]In blood I take my payment in full with their lives
[05:08.75]I spare not land or servants my wake is slow dead there
[05:14.30]I take their wives and daughters
[05:17.11]They stand there watching watching
[05:19.77]Hoping to get my life but when Im through they know they must pay burning death distruction raping the daughters and wives in blood i take my payment in full with their lives with their lives with their lives
