Diamond Head - 'Am I Evil?' (Rock Hard Festival 2018)
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.
Am I evil, yes I am
Am I evil, I am man
My soul is long gone before me, I'm awaiting my hell
Sent to avenger my mother, sweeten myself
My face is long forgotten, my face not my own
Sweet and timely whore, take me home
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, your spirits dance
Like a double dozen before ya, no romance
Am I evil, yes I am
Am I evil, I am man

"Am I evil", ένα από τα εμβληματικότερα τραγούδια στα σκονισμένα κιτάπια της Heavy Metal μυθολογίας. Το πρωτοσυναντήσαμε στο (μυθικό) ντεμπούτο των Diamond Head "Lightning to the Nations" (1980) και -επανεκτελεσμένο- δύο χρόνια αργότερα στον (καταπληκτικό) δεύτερο δίσκο της Βρετανικής μπάντας "Borrowed Time" (1982). Ηχογραφήθηκε το 1980. Στίχοι - μουσική Sean Harris και Brian Tatler. Στην σημερινή ανάρτηση θα παρακολουθήσουμε τους Diamond Head να το αποδίδουν "ζωντανά" προ οκταετίας (το 2018) στο μουσικό φεστιβάλ Rock Hard Festival...
