The Sentinel Lyrics by Judas Priest

The Sentinel Lyrics

    Along deserted avenues
    Steam begins to rise
    The figures primed and ready
    Prepared for quick surprise
    He's watchin' for a sign
    His life is on the line
    Dogs whine in the alleys
    Smoke is on the wind
    From deep inside its empty shell
    A cathedral bell begins to toll
    A storm begins to grow

    Amidst the upturned burned-out cars
    The challengers await
    And in their fists clutch iron bars
    With which to seal his fate
    Across his chest is scabbards rest
    The rows of throwing knives
    Whose razor points in challenged tests
    Have finished many lives

    Now facing one another
    The stand-off eats at time
    Then all at once a silence falls
    As the bell ceases its chime
    Upon this sign the challengers
    With shrieks and cries rush forth
    The knives fly out like bullets
    Upon their deadly course
    Screams of pain and agony
    Rent the silent air
    Amidst the dying bodies
    Blood runs everywhere
    The figure stands expressionless
    Impassive and alone
    Unmoved by this victory
    And the seeds of death he's sown

    Sworn to avenge
    Condemn to hell
    Tempt not the blade
    All fear the sentinel
