lyrics
Verse 1
I have always followed
the order to kill
No questions I ask
No mercy I give
Throughout my life
I have been paid
to take a life
for another's gain
I am no fool
I know my worth
For a pile of gold
I’ll reverse a birth
And then one day
I was given a choice
to walk my own path
and sever my chains
Verse 2
My liege had me sent
to a distant land
to kill their king
and all his kin
I was given a fleet
and a hundred men
to pillage the land
and rape the women
But he made a mistake
and he gave me the gold
before I’d left
to leave their bodies cold
I will do no such thing
I will not go to war
I’m a rich man now
I’ll find a new home
Chorus
Now I am hunted throughout the land
I’ll have to run for eternity
Still I would do it all again
If just to change my destiny
My head is worth it’s weight in gold
No prophet can tell what fate unfolds
Still I would do it all again
I would not go back to the old
Verse 3
I will live my life on the run
but a free man nonetheless
The riches I’ve gained in my past life
will have to keep me alive
The tales I could tell if I had someone
to write them down for me
would make my former liege and King
a laughing stock for eternity
Chorus
Now I am hunted throughout the land
I’ll have to run for eternity
Still I would do it all again
If just to change my destiny
My head is worth it’s weight in gold
No prophet can tell what fate unfolds
Still I would do it all again
I would not go back to the old
