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
