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
Dogs whine in the alleys
Smoke is on the wind
From deep inside its empty shell
A cathedral bell begins to toll
A storm begins to grow
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 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
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 Sentinelsince youv'e been gone I've lived my life
in dreams of used to be
and I wonder if I'll ever love again? I don't know
I'm gonna lock my heart today
and throw away the key
and I wonder if I'll ever love again?
I wonder if I will ever love this way again
walking a straight line through the sunshine and the rain
makin' a vow and seein' it through
doing the things that lovers do
I wonder if I will ever love this way again
I take your picture from my wall
and gently lay it down
oh, and I wonder if I'll ever ease this pain, I don't know
now as the rain begins to fall
and there's darkness all around
that's when I wonder if I'll ever love again
I wonder if I will ever love this way again
I can survive by staying alive every now and then
but that's not the way that I want it to be
I want it back the way it was with you and me
I wonder if I will ever love this way again
instrumental solo
I wonder if I will ever love this way again
I'm willing to try but I don't know that I can stand
the hurt and the pain
but just as I am sure that there's a heaven above
I know there can be no life if there is no love
I wonder if I will ever love this way again
