Machine Head - The Sentinel Lyrics
Along deserted avenues
Steam begins to rise
The figures primed and ready
Prepared for quick surprise
He's watching for a sign
Sworn to avenge
Condemned to Hell
Tempt not the blade
All fear the Sentinel
Dogs whine in the alleys
Smoke is on the wind
From deep inside its empty shell
A cathedral bell begins
Ringing out its toll
Sworn to avenge
Condemned to Hell
Tempt not the blade
All fear the Sentinel
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, in scabbards rest
The rows of glowing 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
Racks 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
Condemned to Hell
Tempt not the blade
All fear the Sentinel

Maybe you can lynch me but it's better than jp's ’ to me.
Wow amazing! Hell yeah machine head perfect cover
This is a nice tribute. Nothing's gonna touch the original, even with Holland's processed sounding drums lol. Halford's phrasing is funkier and more wild, and the KK/Tipton solos aren't up for competition. I can see how it would be super rewarding to add this song to a setlist.
Obrigado Canal Barbonico

my favourite Judas priest song
Sings the lyrics clearer than Halford. Good job!
Grande cover
The original is a classic! Long live Judas Priest... but this Machine Head cover is BADASS!
They played the Instruments better than the Original song writers LUL
MentalScraps you wish
sad troll is pathetic
The original is my favorite song, and I'm glad to see that this cover does it justice (not as good, but still great)
Decent cover, but the downtuning is excessive.
to be fair, trying to hit the highnotes of Rob Halford is pretty hard.
This is the normal tuning used by Machine Head
alternative//post-grunge 📬📯
Don’t forget Priest often tuned down to D when playing live so I’m pretty used to it.
Great, good to see respect for The Priest! He's no Rob Halford though.
Nobody is.
Wow. This is an awesome cover.
me like
this cover is absolutely fantastic.
MONSTROUS i think is the right word, awesome..
Love the guitar work, Demmel rips those solos
