Lyrics
I promised her to keep her save and give her everything,
And sealed that vow when on her hand I placed our wedding ring,
And three blissful years on our homestead we tended to the fields
And darkness fell, as the stone grows dead
Black shadows on the horizon, they were three and I was one,
They swept up on our farmhouse and killed my only son
Then they forced themselves upon my wife before they shot her down
I shook them loose, and they left me for dead
Upon that grave tarnished with blood
I made a vow to God above
I kissed her lips, and here I spell
I'd hunt them down and send them straight to hell
For forty days and nights, through the desert did I ride
When on the eve of forty-one their campsite did I find
Well, I perched up on a ridge like a buzzard up in a tree
And darkness fell, as the stone grows dead
Upon that grave tarnished with blood
I made a vow to God above
To take from them which now is mine
To leave their corpses swingin' on a line
I bound their wrists, their cries of mercy were in vain
Only a man that's broken can inflict such nasty pain
Well the wind blew, the rain poured, the night was black and cold
The game of blood and gold
Upon that grave tarnished with blood
I made a vow to God above
To hunt them down and ring the bell
A tall dark avenger from hell
