Along deserted avenues

Dogs whine in the alleys

Smoke is on the wind

From deep inside its empty shell

A cathedral bell begins to ringing

[Instrumental] D5 E5 G5 G#5 A5 [Bridge]
 E5
Amidst the upturned burned-out cars

      C5             G/B
The challengers await

    A5
And in their fists clutch iron bars

     E5                    D5
With which to seal his fate

  E5
Across his chest is scabbards rest

     C5
The rows of throwing knives

       A5
Whose razor points in challenged tests

  E5
Have finished many lives
[Instrumental] A5 F5 D5 F5 C5 A5 G5 A5 G5 A5 D5 C/E F5 E5 (x2) [Guitar Solo] A5 G5 A5 G5 A5 D5 C/E F5 E5 (x4) F5 D/F# G5 E/G# A5 G5 A5 G5 A5 D5 C/E F5 E5 F5 D/F# G5 E/G# A5 G5 G#5 A5 C5 G F F5 G5 D5 D7 [Interlude]
  D5    C5       G5    A5  C5  G5
Now facing one another

     F         F5      G5    D5  D7  G5
The stand-off eats at time

      A5   C5   G5  A5      C5
Then all at once a silence falls

 G5     F     F5     G5     A5  C5  G5
As the bell ceases its chime

   A5         
Upon this sign the challengers

       F5                   D5
With shrieks and cries rush forth

   A5         
The knives fly out like bullets

       F5                   D5
Upon their deadly course

   A5         
Screams of pain and agony

       F5                   D5
Rent the silent air

   A5         
Amidst the dying bodies

  F5               D5
Blood runs everywhere

   A5         
The figure stands expressionless

  F5               D5
Impassive and alone

   A5         
Unmoved by this victory

         D5  C/E  F5   G5  Esus4
And the seeds of death he's sown
[Chorus]
  A5
Sworn to avenge

          G   A5
Condemned to hell

 F                                  D5         C5 G/B
Tempt not the blade, all fear the sentinel

  A5
Sworn to avenge

          G   A5
Condemned to hell

 F                                  D5         C5 G/B
Tempt not the blade, all fear the sentinel

  A5
Sworn to avenge

          G   A5
Condemned to hell

 F                                  D5         C5 G/B
Tempt not the blade, all fear the sentinel
