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
