The Sentinel - Live at Long Beach Arena, 1984 [Remastered]

It's, uh
There are something's to picture
Of the future maybe, maybe not
Would like you, uh, to listen to and enjoy this
The Sentinel

Along deserted avenues
Steam begins to rise
The figures primed and ready
There for a quick surprise

He's watching for a sign
His life is on the line

Sworn to avenge condemned to Hell
Tempt not the blade all fear the Sentinel
Dogs whine in the alleys
Smoke is on the wind
From deep inside its empty shell
A cathedral bell begins

Ringing out its toll
A storm begins to grow

Sworn to avenge
Condemned to Hell
Tempt not the blade all fear the Sentinel

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 in 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
Rend 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
Condemned to Hell
Tempt not the blade all fear the Sentinel
Sworn to avenge
Condemned to Hell
Tempt not the blade all fear the Sentinel

Sworn to avenge
Condemned to Hell
Tempt not the blade all fear the Sentinel
Sworn to avenge
Condemned to Hell
Tempt not the blade all fear the Sentinel

Thank you so very much indeed
It might be worth, uh, pointing out at this time
I don't know if you know, uh, but uh
There are live microphones here this evening
And the reason for this is, uh, is very, very special

Tonight we have the pleasure to be working with the
The ABC Rock network
Tonight's show is being broadcast
Throughout the entire United States of America
We have five million, five million people listening to this show tonight
