Verse: 1 
A5 
Along deserted avenues 
A5                C5 
Steam begins to rise 
A5 
The figures primed and ready 
A5                     C5 
Prepared for quick surprise 


Pre-Chorus: 
  D5          C/E F  G  A5      C5 
He's watchin'    for a sign 
     D5 C/E F  G5   Esus4 
His life is on the line 



  A5 
Sworn to avenge 
          G   A5 
Condemned to hell 
 F                                  D5         C5 G/B 
Tempt not the blade, all fear the sentinel 



Verse: 2 
 A5 
Dogs whine in the alleys 
                 C  A5 
Smoke is on the wind 
 A5 
From deep inside its empty shell 
   G5  A5  C5  G5  A5  C5 
A cathedral bell begins to ringing 


Pre-Chorus: 
  D5          C/E F  G  A5      C5 
He's watchin'    for a sign 
     D5 C/E F  G5   Esus4 
His life is on the line

Sworn to avenge 
          G   A5 
Condemned to hell

Tempt not the blade, all fear the sentinel 



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

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         F5     D5 
Upon this sign the challengers 
   A5         F5     D5 
With shrieks and cries rush forth 
   A5         F5     D5 
The knives fly out like bullets 
   A5         F5     D5 
Upon their deadly course 
   A5         F5     D5 
Screams of pain and agony 
   A5         F5     D5 
Rent the silent air 
   A5         F5     D5 
Amidst the dying bodies 
   A5         F5     D5 
Blood runs everywhere 
   A5         F5     D5 
The figure stands expressionless 
   A5         F5     D5 
Impassive and alone 
   A5         F5     D5 
Unmoved by this victory 
         D5  C/E  F5   G5  Esus4 
And the seeds of death he's sown 


 
  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
