Bilingual
Along deserted avenues steam begins to rise
The figure's found and ready, prepared for quick surprise
He's watching for a sign
His life is on the line
Sword to avenge
And end now
Checkmate the bird of man, the sentinel
Torchlight in the alleys, smoke is on the wind
From deep inside its empty shell a cathedral bell begins
Ringing out its toll
It's calling its toll back
Sword to avenge
And end now
Checkmate the bird of man, the sentinel
Amidst the upturned ruined cars the challenger waits
And in their criss-crossed iron bars awaits to seal his fate
Across his chest in scabbard rest the rules of throwing knives
Which to win some points in challenge tests finished many lives
ย
Now facing one another the standoff eats its time
Then all at once a silence falls as the bell ceases its chime
Upon the sign that charges the seeks 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 his victory on the seeds of death he's sown
Sword to avenge
And end now
Checkmate the bird of man, the sentinel
Sword to avenge
And end now
Checkmate the bird of man, the sentinel
Sword to avenge
And end now
Checkmate the bird of man, the sentinel
Sword to avenge
And end now
Checkmate the bird of man, the sentinel
