The figures primed and ready

Prepared for quick surprise

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

Sworn to avenge
G A5
Condemned to hell

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
