Extremely Violent Man Songtext

von Jackie Leven

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
