[Verse 1]
A5              G5     Bb5  A5                   G5
My mother was a witch,      she was burned alive
A5               G5    Bb5  A5                    G5
Thankless little bitch,     for the tears I cried
A5            G5       Bb5  A5                         G5
Take her down now,          don't want to see her face
A5                      Bb5                        G5
All blistered and burnt,    can't hide my disgrace
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
       D5        E5            F5 E5
Twenty-seven, everyone was nice
       D5            E5                F5 E5
Got to see them make them pay the price
          D5         E5         F5 E5
See their bodies out on the ice
    D5  E5
Take my time
 
 
[Chorus]
G5    A5   Bb5  G5    A5
Am I evil?      Yes I am
G5    A5   Bb5 A5  G5        Bb5    A5
Am I evil?         I am man, yes I am
 
 
[Verse 2]
A5                  G5    A5 Bb5   A5        G5    A5   Bb5
As I watched my mother die,        I lost my head
A5              G5      A5   Bb5   A5               G5    A5  Bb5
  Revenge now I sought,            to break with my bread
          G5       Bb5    A5               G5     A5   Bb5    A5
Taking no chances,           you come with me
               G5          A5  Bb5 A5                 G5      A5
I'll split you to the bone,              help set you free
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
       D5         E5            F5   E5
Twenty-seven, everyone was nice
       D5    E5                         F5   E5
Got to see them make them pay the price
          D5         E5          F5   E5
See their bodies out on the ice
    D5  E5
Take my time
 
 
[Chorus]
G5   A5     Bb5  A5  G5    A5    Bb5  A5
Am I evil?           Yes I am
G5   A5    G5   A5   Bb5   A5
Am I evil? I am man, yes I am
 
 
[Verse 3]
                       D5                       D5
On with the action now,    I'll strip your pride
                             D5                       D5
I'll spread your blood around,    I'll see you writhe
                                D5                       D5
Your face is scarred with steel,    wounds deep and neat
                                D5                     D5
Like a devil dancin' before you,       smells so sweet
 
 
[Chorus]
A5          G5 D5 A5           C5 G5
Am I evil?            Yes I am
A5          G5 D5 A5            C5 G5
Am I evil?            I am man,
 
 
[Verse 4]
                      D5                     D5
I'll make my residence, I'll watch your fire
                    D5            D5
You can come with me, sweet desire
                      D5                   D5
My face is long forgot, my face not my own
                      D5            D5
Sweet and timely whore, take me home
 
 
[Chorus]
A5           G5 D5 A5             C5 G5
Am I evil?              Yes I am
A5            G5 D5 A5                      E5 G5 A5
Am I evil?              I am man,                 Go!
 
 
[Verse 5]
                       D5                 D5
My soul is longing for,     await my heir
                        D5                D5
Sent to avenge my mother,   sweep myself
                       D5                       D5
My face is long forgot,     my face not my own
                       D5                D5
Sweet and timely whore,     take me home

A5        G5 D5 A5           C5 G5
Am I evil?          Yes I am
A5        G5 D5 A5            C5 G5
Am I evil?          I am man

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.

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.
