Metallica, originally performed by DiamondHead (Recorded in 1982)
- words and music by Brian Tatler and Sean Lindon Harris
My mother was a witch, she was burned alive,
Thankless little bitch, for the tears I cried.
Take her down now, don't want to see her face,
All blistered and burnt, can't hide my disgrace.
Twenty seven, everyone was nice,
Gotta see 'em, make 'em pay the price.
See their bodies out on the ice,
Take my time.
*Chorus*:
Am I evil? Yes I am.
Am I evil? I am man,
Yes I am.
As I watched my mother die, I lost my head
Revenge now I sought, to break with my bread
Takin' no chances, you come with me
I'll split you to the bone, help set you free
Twenty seven, everyone was nice
Gotta see 'em, make 'em pay the price
See their bodies out on the ice
Take my time
*Chorus*
On with the action now, I'll strip your pride
I'll spread your blood around, I'll see you ride
Your face is scarred with steel, wounds deep and neat
Like a double dozen before ya, smells so sweet
*Chorus*
I'll make my residence, I'll watch your fire
You can come with me, sweet desire
My face is long forgot, my face not my own
Sweet and timely whore, take me home
*Chorus*
My soul is longing for, await my heir
Sent to avenge my mother, sleep myself
My face is long forgot, my face not my own
Sweet and timely whore, take me home
*Chorus*
Am I evil? Yes I fucking am!
Am I evil? I am man, yeah
