[Am]
[A]He broke the laws

[Verse 1]
of the [Am]elders
So [A]they plucked out his [Am]eye,
Took his land [A]and fortune,
[Am]Left him t[A]o die[E]
[Dm]Bound [B]on [E]the shoreline,
[D]Left [B]for the [E]tide,
Sees his [Dm]lifeblood [B]lea[E]ving...
[Dm]Circ[B]ling lower, the [A]vultures f[Am]ly
His bones may [A]be [Am]broken
But the spirit can't [A]die
And the Gods see his [C]anguish
And give him a sign
From the floor of the ocean
[G]The[Dm] ship of the[C] lost souls rise
And they take [Am]him [A]where no one
sleeps [Am]while the [A]undead [Am]cry,
Where no one sleeps while the
[A]un [E]dead [Am]cry.[A]..[E]
And in the world [B]above[E]
The eld[B]ers [E]sing,
On his land [B]they [E]live...
Let [Dm]death [B]bell rin[Am]g
Narration:
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 you not pass
Abandon
Return [Dm]to the world
From whence you came
And seek payment
Not only for thine own anguish
But vindicate the [E]souls
Of the Unavenged"
And they placed in his hands
A sword
Made for him
Called: Ven[Am]geance
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 [Dm]in might
And black in colour
That he could stand as one
with the darkness...
Save for his burning eyes
[E]Of crimson fire
And on that night
They rode up from Hell
The pounding of [C]his hooves[B]
[Am]Did clap like [C]thunder![Am][A][Am][A][Am][C]
[Am][C][C5][C][C5][C][Am]
[C][B][Am][E]
Chorus:
Burning, death, [Dm]destruc[E]tion
Raping the daughters and [Dm]wives[E]
In blood I take my payment
In full with their [Dm]lives[Am]
No one can escape me
On Black [C]Death [C5]I rid[Am]e
When kissed by the sword of Vengeance
Your head [C]lays [C5]there by [C]your side
I take the lives of all that I once [Am]knew
The torn flesh of a slow death
waits for [C]you[B][Am][E]
Chorus:
Burning, death, de[Dm]struc[E]tion
Raping the daughters and [Dm]wives[E]
In blood I take my payment
In full with their [Dm]lives[Am]
I spare not land or servants
My wake [C]is sloathe and [Am]there
I take their wives and daughters
They stand there [C]watch[B]ing, [C]watching
Hoping to get my [C5]life[C][Am]
But when I'm through they know
they must [C]pay[E]
Chorus:
Burning, death, destruction
Raping the daughters and [Dm]wives[E]
In blood I take my [Dm]payment
[E]In full with they lives
[E]With they lives
[E]With they [Am]lives[Am][C]
[C][Am]
[E]With[Dm][E][E][Dm][E][Dm]
[E]the[Dm]y liv[Dm]es
