He broke the laws of the elders
So they blocked out his eye,
Took his land and fortune,
Left him to die

Bound on the shoreline,
Left for the tide,
Seizes life, blood leaving...
Circling lower, the vultures fly

His 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 death bell ring

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 to the world
  From once you came
  And seek payment
  Not only for thy known anguish
  But vindicate the souls
  Of the Unavenged"

  And they placed in his hands
  A sword
  Made for him
  Called: Vengeance
  Forged in brimstone
  And tempered
  By the Wolf in 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 fiercely might
  And black in colour
  That he could stand as one: Darkness...
  Save from his burning eyes
  of grims and fire

  And on that night
  They rode up from Hell
  The pounding of his hooves
  Did clap like thunder !

Chorus:
  Burning, death, destruction
  Raping the daughters and wives
  In blood I take my payment
  In foul 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 waits for you

Chorus:
  Burning, death, destruction
  Raping the daughters and wives
  In blood I take my payment
  In foul with their lives

I spare that land of servants
My wake is slow dead there
I take their wives and daughters
They stand there watching, watching
Hoping to get my life
But when I'm through they know they must pay

Chorus:
  Burning, death, destruction
  Raping the daughters and wives
  In blood I take my payment
  In foul with they lives
  With they lives
  With they lives
  With they lives
