The first song off of Amon Amarth’s tenth studio album, Jomsviking. The song tells the story of a man who is in love with a girl who is, unfortunately, being married off to a noble. The man, fueled by rage, kills the earl’s assistant when he arrives to take the girl, and he then has to flee from his...
[Verse 1]
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 his smile away
I was not yet a man, nor was I a boy
But still, I made that bastard pay
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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
Oh, I will live it in my dreams
The smell, the blood, his dying screams
[Bridge]
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 prey that they would hunt
[Chorus]
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
