Lyrics Blue Öyster Cult

Blue Öyster Cult

Vengeance

See them standing in the foothills

Waiting for the kill

On wings of fear the terror sweeps

Into the city beat

To defend

This is the pact

But when life's scorned

And damage done

To avenge

This is the pact

On wings of vengeance

Taarna finds them

Death for barbarians

To defend

This is the pact

But when life's scorned

And damage done

To avenge

This is the pact

Flying over the oasis

She is captured and they pull her down

Feeling pain

From the air

Close my eyes

And I am there

I feel I'm falling down in a deep dark pit

"pull him down" the soldier said

"i'll put an arrow in his head"

But the bird

Flew off instead

To save his master

On his back she fled

Her time has come

Riding her bird

High in the saddle

She gets her chance to fulfil the pact now

As their leader

Swoops from the clouds

She sticks him with her sword

Then she throws him down

The enemy shrivel and die

The enemy shrivel and die

To defend

This is the pact

But when life's scorned

And damage done

To avenge

This is the pact
