Diamond Head - Am I Evil?
Diamond Head are a British heavy metal band formed in 1976 in Stourbridge, England. They were one of the leading members of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) and are acknowledged by later bands like Metallica and Megadeth as an important early influence.
"Am I Evil?" is a song by British heavy metal band Diamond Head and first appeared on their Lightning to the Nations album. The intro to the song is based on the Mars theme of Gustav Holst's The Planets. The lyrics tell of a child whose mother was burned alive because she was believed to be a witch. When he grows up he decides to take revenge on the people who killed his mother and goes on a killing spree.
Outside of the original recording, the song is probably best known among metal fans today for having been recorded and played live many times by the younger band Metallica, who cite Diamond Head as a major influence. The song was part of Metallica's Creeping Death cassette single and on some pressings of the Kill 'Em All album. The song appeared again in 1998 on Metallica's Garage Inc. anthology of covers, as well as on Disc 3 of the Live Shit: Binge & Purge live album.
Am I Evil?
[Harris/Tatler]
My mother was a witch, she was burned alive
Thankless little bitch, for the tears I cried
Take her down now, don't wanna see her face
Blistered and burnt, can't hide my disgrace
27 every one was nice, gotta see them,
Make them 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
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.
27 every one was nice, gotta see them,
Make them 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
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 you, smell so sweet.
27 every one was nice, gotta see them,
Make them 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
I'll make my residence, I'll watch your fire
You can come with me, sweet desire
My face is long forgotten, my face not my own
Sweet and timely whore, take me home
