Details for Manowar - Battle Hymns (1982) - Dark Avenger

He Broke The Laws Of The Elders
So They Plucked Out His Eye
Took His Land And Fortune
Left Him To Die
Bound On The Shoreline
Left For The Tide
Sees His Life Blood Leaving
Circling Lower The Vultures Fly

These Bones May Be Broken
But The Spirit Can’t Die
And The Gods See His Anguish
And Give Him A Sign
From 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 Cry

And In The World Above The Elders Sing
On His Land They Live
Let Deaths Bell Ring

He 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 Ye Not Pass Abbadon
Return To The World From Whence Ye Came
And Seek Payment
Not Only For Thine Own Anguish But Vindicate Souls Of The Unavenged
And They Placed In His Hand A Sword Made For Him Called Vengeance
Forged In Brimstone And Tempered By The Woeful Tears Of The Unavenged
And 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 Fearsome In Might And Black In Color
That He Could Stand As One With The Darkness
Save For His Burning Eyes Of Crimson Fire

And On That Night
They Rode Up From Hell
The Pounding Of His Hooves
Did Clap Like Thunder

Burning Death Destruction
Raping Their Daughters And Wives
In Blood I Take My Payment
In Full With Their Lives

No 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 Wait For You

Burning Death Destruction
Raping Their Daughters And Wives
In Blood I Take My Payment
In Full With Their Lives
I Spare Not Land Or Servants
My Wake Is Smoke And Flame
I Take Their Wives And Daughters
They Stand There Watching
Hoping To Gain Their Lives
But When I’m Through
They Know That They Must Pay

Burning Death Destruction
Raping Their Daughters And Wives
In Blood I Take My Payment
In Full With They Lives
With Their Lives
