Small children And scars on my right hand Remind me I am an extremely violent man Undone now And dying in a foreign land Have no pity For an extremely violent man Fear in others Is something I understand At least it enters me And takes the violent man Now I'm coming To the end of my energy Extremely violent man Is frightened of the sea I have no photos Of people I have loved I have loved no-one The violence was enough The violence warmed me And yes, it was extreme I saw no warnings In sleep that has no dreams Except one dream Of a bush when I was young It lived alone by a bridge If you touched it you got stung And I held it Till I nearly cried But in the dream The stinging bush had died How I got here You don't need to know But I can tell you I've dealt my final blow People feared my Because I loved to slay Even my mother Had to turn away Small children And scars on my right hand Remind me I am an extremely violent man
