[Verse 1]
 Am
Along deserted avenues
                    Am7
Steam begins to rise
Am
The figures primed and ready
                           Am7
Prepared for quick surprise
     D    C   F   G Am
He's watching for a sign
Am7    D    C  F  G   Esus4
   His life is on the line

[Chorus]
Am
Sworn to avenge
               F
Condemn to hell
Tempt not the blade
             Dm
All fear the sentinel

[Verse 2]
Am7 Am
    Dogs whine in the alleys
                    Am7
Smoke is on the wind
     Am
From deep inside its empty shell
  G     Am  C    G Am  Am7
A cathedral bell begins
D  C    F   G   Am
Ringing out its toll
Am7  D     C F       Esus4
   A storm begins to grow

[Chorus]
Am
Sworn to avenge
               F
Condemn to hell
Tempt not the blade
             Dm   E  G G#
All fear the sentinel

[Bridge 1]
Am Em
  Amidst the upturned burnedout cars
    C                Bm
The challengers await
    Am
And in their fists clutch iron bars
     Em                    D
With which to seal his fate
 Em
Across his chest is scabbards rest
    C                      Bm
The rows of throwing knives
      Am
Whose razor points in challenged tests
     Em
Have finished many lives

[Bridge 2]
Am
Now facing one another
The standoff eats at time
Then all at once a silence falls
As the bell ceases it is chime
 Am
Upon this sign the challengers
     F                        D
With shrieks and cries rush forth
    Am
The knives fly out like bullets
 F                D
Upon their deadly course
Am
Screams of pain and agony
F                 D
Rent the silent air
 Am
Amidst the dying bodies
F               D
Blood runs everywhere
    Am
The figure stands expressionless
  F
Impassive and alone
D Am
  Unmoved by this victory
        Dm    C  F     G    Esus4
And the seeds of death he's sown

[Chorus]
Am
Sworn to avenge
               F
Condemn to hell
Tempt not the blade
             Dm   E
All fear the sentinel
Am
Sworn to avenge
               F
Condemn to hell
Tempt not the blade
             Dm   E
All fear the sentinel
Am
Sworn to avenge
               F
Condemn to hell
Tempt not the blade
             Dm   E
All fear the sentinel
Am
Sworn to avenge
               F
Condemn to hell
Tempt not the blade
             Dm   E  G G#
All fear the sentinel
