Hard times are ahead of me
Through hard times I have walked
And I guess that dreams I will never see

Even death won't bring me peace

I think I've been tired all of my life

And you've already guessed that I'll never die
They say there's no rest for the wicked
And I sure have an evil eye


No rest for the wicked, no rest for me
No rest for the wicked, evil never sleep


You know I've died so many times


That I've grown tired of the church-bell's chime
The earth can't bury the sins that I've done
Though living's my only crime


Cast him aside, don't cross his path
Is what you'll hear when you ask about my name

And I guess that it's true, that I'd also kill you
And I would even do it without shame


No Rest for the Wicked, no rest for me
No Rest for the Wicked, evil never sleep
