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 
And strangers cry for me 
I´m prepared to meet the Gods 
I wish 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
