The Hero - Amon Amarth

The blade I swing is black as night

Black as my soulless heart

It bears the burden of many lives

But I don’t feel remorse

I lent my sword to anyone

Willing to pay the price

No regrets for what I’ve done

A mercenary’s life

But there I was, on Battleground

Until I felt the jaws of death

Cut into my flesh

Defending old and weak

But I did not retreat

Now, here I lie in my own blood

As strangers cry for me

I’m prepared to meet the gods

I wished they’d let me be

I don’t deserve their sympathy

I know who I am

My soul is death and misery

I am an evil man

I rest in my blood

Soon I will face the gods

Strangers cry for me

I wish they’d let me be

Show no sympathy

Shed no tears for me

I know who I am

I am an evil man

I know who I am, I am an evil man

I know who I am, I am an evil man
