he broke the laws of the elders so they plucked out his eyes took his land and fortune left him to die bound on the shoreline left for the tide sees his lifeblood 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 s bell ring 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 whence you came and seek payment not only for thine own 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 woeful 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 fearsome in might and black in colour that he could stand as one with the darkness save for his burning eyes of crimson fire and on that night they rose up from hell the pounding of his hooves did clap like thunder  burning death destruction raping the daughters and wives in blood i take my payment in full 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 i spare not land or servants my wake is smoke and flame i take their wives and daughters they stand there watching watching hoping to get their lives but when i m through they know they must pay with their lives with their lives2
