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
