Dark Avenger

He broke the laws of the elders

So they plucked out his eye,

Took his land and fortune,

Left him to dieBound on the shoreline,

Left for the tide,

See's his life blood leaving...

Circling lower the vultures flyThese bones may be broken

But the spirit can't die

And the Gods see his anguish

And give him a signFrom 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 cryAnd in the world above

The elders sing,

On his land they live

Let death's bell ringHe 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 you not pass abandon return to the world from once you came

And seek payment not only for thy known 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 UnavengedAnd 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 fiercely might and black in colour

That he could stand as one with the darkness

Save from his burning eyes of crimson fireAnd on that night they rode up from Hell

The pounding of his hooves did clap like thunderBurning, death, destruction raping the daughters and wives

In blood I take my payment in full with their livesNo 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 youBurning, death, destruction raping the daughters and wives

In blood I take my payment in full with their livesI spare not land or servants my wake is slow dead 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
