"“Evil is evil, Strebor,' said the witcher seriously as he got up. 'Lesser, greater, middling, it's all the same. Proportions are negotiated, boundaries blurred. I'm not a pious hermit, I haven't done only good in my life. But if I'm to choose between one evil and another, then I prefer not to choose at all. Time for me to go. We'll see each other tomorrow.'”
(from "The Lesser Evil", by Andrzej Sapkowski)

On market day
he came around
with a hint of a smile
didn't make any sound.

A bloody sun
stood high in the sky 
he sharpened his swords
the children started to cry

This is the deed of the Butcher of Blaviken
the deed of the Butcher of Blaviken

Hide in your house
don't make a noise
move away from the window sill
When the Butcher finally appears
the town falls silent and still
the town falls silent and still.

On market day
he came around
the square was all red
when the victims were found

His white hair
glinted in the sun
when he killed the townsfolk,
one by one.

This is the deed of the Butcher of Blaviken
the deed of the Butcher of Blaviken

Hide in your house
don't make a noise
move away from the window sill
When the Butcher finally appears
the town falls silent and still
the town falls silent and still.

09. Butcher of Blaviken
