1
He broke the laws of the elders
2
So they plucked out his eye,
3
Took his land and fortune,
4
Left him to die
5
Bound on the shoreline,
6
Left for the tide,
7
Sees his life-blood leaving...
8
Circling lower, the vultures fly
9
These bones may be broken
10
But the spirit can't die
11
And the Gods see his anguish
12
And give him a sign
13
From the floor of the ocean
14
The ship of the lost souls rise
15
And they take him where no one sleeps while the undead cry,
16
Where no one sleeps while the undead cry...
17
And in the world above
18
The elders sing,
19
On his land they live...
20
Let death's bell ring
21
[Narration:]
22
He was met at the gate of Hades
23
By the Guardian of the Lost Souls,
24
The Keeper of the Unavenged
25
And He did say to him:
26
"Let ye not pass, Abbadon
27
Return to the world
28
From whence you came
29
And seek payment
30
Not only for thine own anguish
31
But vindicate the souls
32
Of the Unavenged"
33
And they placed in his hands
34
A sword made for him
35
Called 'Vengeance'
36
Forged in brimstone
37
And tempered
38
By the woeful tears of the Unavenged
39
And to carry him up on his journey
40
Back to the upper world
41
They brought forth
42
Their Demon horse
43
Called 'Black Death'
44
A grim steed
45
So fearsome in might
46
And black in colour
47
That he could stand as one with the Darkness...
48
Save for his burning eyes
49
Of crimson fire
50
And on that night
51
They rode up from Hell
52
The pounding of his hooves
53
Did clap like thunder!
54
[Chorus:]
55
Burning, death, destruction
56
Raping their daughters and wives
57
In blood I take my payment
58
In full with their lives
59
No one can escape me
60
On Black Death I ride
61
When kissed by the sword of Vengeance
62
Your head lays there by your side
63
I take the lives of all that I once knew
64
The torn flesh of a slow death waits for you
65
[Chorus:]
66
Burning, death, destruction
67
Raping their daughters and wives
68
In blood I take my payment
69
In full with their lives
70
I spare not land or servants
71
My wake is smoke and flame
72
I take their wives and daughters
73
They stand there watching
74
Hoping to gain their lives
75
But when I'm through they know that they must pay
76
[Chorus:]
77
Burning, death, destruction
78
Raping their daughters and wives
79
In blood I take my payment
80
In full with their lives
