Am I Evil? '86 Songtext
von Metallica

My mother was a witch
She was burned alive
Thankless little bitch
Oh, 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

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
Taking 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

Am I evil?
Yes I am
Am I evil?
I am man, yes I am

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


Am I evil?
Yes I am
Am I evil?
I am man

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

Am I evil?
Yes I am
Am I evil?
I am man

My soul is longing for
Await my heir
Sent to avenge my mother
Sweep myself
My face is long forgot
My face not my own
Sweet and timely whore
Take me home

Am I evil?
Yes I am
Am I evil?
I am man
Am I evil?
Yes I fucking am
Am I evil?
I am man, yeah
