6. Vengeance (The Pact) (4:40)
[Verse 1: Joe Bouchard]
See them standing in the foothills
Waiting for the kill
On wings of fear the terror sweeps
Into the city beat
[Chorus: Joe Bouchard & Eric Bloom]
To defend
This is the pact
But when life's scorned
An' damage done
To avenge
This is the pact...
[Verse 2: Joe Bouchard]
On wings of vengeance, Taarna finds them
Death for barbarians
[Chorus: Joe Bouchard & Eric Bloom]
To defend
This is the pact
But when life's scorned
An' damage done
To avenge
This is the pact...
[Verse 3: Joe Bouchard]
Flying over the oasis
She is captured an' they pull her down...
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge: Joe Bouchard]
Feeling pain (ahhh)
From the air (ahhh)
Close my eyes (ahhh)
An' I am there (ahhh)
I feel I'm falling down in a deep... (ah ah ah ah ah ah)
Dark... pit
[Verse 4: Eric Bloom (& Joe Bouchard)]
"Pull him down," the soldier said (the soldier said)
"I'll put an arrow in his head" (in his head)
But the bird (the bird)
Flew off instead (off instead)
To save his master on his back she fled (back she fled)
Her time has come (her time has come)
Riding her bird (her bird)
High in the saddle (high in the saddle)
She gets her chance to fulfill the pact now (now)
As their leader (their leader)
Swoops from the clouds (swoops from the clouds)
She sticks him with her sword
Then she throws him down (throws him down)
[Bridge]
The enemy shrivel and die
The enemy shrivel and die
(And die, and die, and die, and die, and die)
[Chorus: Joe Bouchard & Eric Bloom]
To defend
This is the pact
But when life's scorned
An' damage done
To avenge
This is the pact...
[Outro]
(Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ahhh)
See them standing in the foothills
Waiting for the kill
On wings of fear the terror sweeps
Into the city beat
[Chorus: Joe Bouchard & Eric Bloom]
To defend
This is the pact
But when life's scorned
An' damage done
To avenge
This is the pact...
[Verse 2: Joe Bouchard]
On wings of vengeance, Taarna finds them
Death for barbarians
[Chorus: Joe Bouchard & Eric Bloom]
To defend
This is the pact
But when life's scorned
An' damage done
To avenge
This is the pact...
[Verse 3: Joe Bouchard]
Flying over the oasis
She is captured an' they pull her down...
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge: Joe Bouchard]
Feeling pain (ahhh)
From the air (ahhh)
Close my eyes (ahhh)
An' I am there (ahhh)
I feel I'm falling down in a deep... (ah ah ah ah ah ah)

[Verse 4: Eric Bloom (& Joe Bouchard)]
"Pull him down," the soldier said (the soldier said)

An' damage done
To avenge
This is the pact...
