Amon Amarth - First Kill

"First Kill" lyrics

First Kill

The first man I killed
was the earl's right-hand man
When he came to take her away
I ran his own sword
straight through his throat
And then I stood there, watching him fade

The first blood I spilled
was the blood of a varg
I had to wipe the smile away
I was not yet a man,
nor was I a boy
But still, I made that bastard pay

So I left him there,
on the stable floor
Bathing in a pool of his own blood
My one and only choice
was to flee this land
To leave this wretched place for good

I am an outcast
All alone
I'm a nomad without home
I am an outlaw
I'm disowned
And I am no man's son


Through the cold midwinter nights
on a southbound winding path
The stars and moon my only light;
and the earl's men closing fast

I swore that I'd return;
that I would see him burn
I will live it in my dreams;
the smell, the blood, his dying screams

To my father I was dead,
he took his hand from me
He drove me away, I was shunned
My one and only choice
was to leave this land
To become the pagan they would hunt

I am an outcast
All alone
I'm a nomad without home
I am an outlaw
I'm disowned
And I am no man's son

I am an outcast
All alone
I'm a nomad without home
I am an outlaw
I'm disowned
And I am no man's son
