Vengeance Lyrics - Blue Oyster Cult

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's 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's 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 fulfill 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's done 

To avenge, this is the pact
