Lyrics[edit | edit source]

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's 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 done
To avenge, this is the pact

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
