Note: Please disregard the Patriots logos. I didn't notice them when I made the video, so please quit complaining and enjoy.
4th track off of Judas Priest's 1984 album "Defenders of the Faith". I'm sorry for any mistakes in the lyrics, and make sure to let me know if you notice any. Thanks for watching!
Along deserted avenues
Steam begins to rise
The figures primed and ready
Prepared for quick surprise
He's watchin' for a sign
His life is on the line
Sworn to avenge
Condemn 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
Reading out its toll
A storm begins to grow
Sworn to avenge
Condemn 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 is scabbards rest
The rows of glowing 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
Rent 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
Condemn to hell
Tempt not the blade
All fear the Sentinel

The part starting at 3:08 gives me chills every time. Absolutely brilliant. This is Judas Priest's best song from any album after Stained Class.

I sorta want to say 10 people tempted the blade of the sentinel... but I kinda don't like "insert witty comment here about the dislikes" things.
