[Intro]
I knew a man
I knew a man
I knew a man with an x-shaped scar on his cheek
And I wondered how he came to be so marked
[Verse 1]
Maybe he fell
Maybe he fell
Maybe he fell in a well down to hell
And the devil kicked him back to life
It was not his time to die
He marked to remember
Marked him just below his eye
[Chorus]
Ooh you should be aware of dark haired girls
Unless one should cause your d**h
[Verse 2]
A ring of gold
A ring of gold
A ring of gold with a missing ruby stone
On the hand of the man who lost his love
He lost his peace
He lost his wife
Lost them to the man with the scar beneath his eye
[Chorus]
Ooh you should be aware of dark haired girls
Unless one should cause your d**h
[Verse 3]
No peace in d**h
No peace in life
No peace in love
And no peace in this fight
As darkness closes in on its claim of his wicked evil life
[Outro]
All men end the same with a grimace or a smile
And so it ended for the man with the scar beneath his eye
