[Verse I]
They know my name
But not what I've lived
They didn't see me starve
They don't know how much I suffered
I can explain to you
But they will never understand
What it's like to see your mother die
Because there's nothing to eat
I would be next
If it wasn't for Kenny
A wanted murderer
Made me his student
Put a knife in my hand
Said there was no other option
To survive
In this underworld
I grew up as a bandit
I only had two friends
Farlan and Isabel
Who were always with me
We had a dream
To see the surface
To realize it
I would kill even an innocent
Suddenly
An old man summons us
The mission was to kill a lieutenant
And freedom was the gift
In the Exploration Troop
I would infiltrate
I only had an idea
Of what would happen

[Bridge I]
In the middle of the fog
I saw a sea of bodies
They made a massacre
My friends are dead
In front of me
A titan eats Farlan and it's so cruel
And at my feet
Isabel's head
After that
How does a person stay sane?
Those I loved
Won't see tomorrow
That's when I woke up
The fury of an Ackerman
And I swore to exterminate
One by one, each titan

[CHORUS]
So look closely
At the face of someone
Who lost everything
In this world
I've already stained my hands with blood
There's no going back
I will never regret
What I chose
Death is the only option
For those who confront me
The strongest of humanity
Captain Levi

[Verse II]
Years pass
From a mission we return
We find our home
Destroyed and invaded
Now there's this boy
Who transforms into a titan
And they don't know if his strength
Is friend or foe
Eren, know that each of the blows
That I gave you
Was to teach
Because only pain can lead to discipline
I agree to train you
But if I suspect you
Know that I will not hesitate for a second
In taking your life
I only trust myself
And my squad
We will fight to the end
I don't accept that they die in vain
Ahead in each mission
I make the decision
So if they die
Their deaths are in my hands
In the heart of a conspiracy
Is where we are
The Government and the Church
Are deceiving us
Titans from inside the wall
Watching us
I can't believe these things
Are human

[Bridge II]
And they still say
That I am a monster
And they still say
That I don't care
But it's not them
Who return from each mission
And have to give the news to the families
That their relatives are dead
And they still say
That I am a monster
And they still say
That I don't care
But it's not them
Who went through hell
And saw right in front of them
Death with their own eyes

[CHORUS]
So look closely
At the face of someone
Who lost everything
In this world
I've already stained my hands with blood
There's no going back
I will never regret
What I chose
Death is the only option
For those who confront me
The strongest of humanity
Captain Levi

[Verse III]
I've always been a genius
Even at a young age
I was born with talent
It's in my lineage
I hardly needed training
And with the Wings of Freedom
I proved more than once
The strongest of humanity
Unmatched skill
Unreachable speed
Unsurpassable agility
Incalculable capacity
With the blades in reverse
Dancing in the sky and cutting their necks
Flying so high that I feel like a bird
Passing the sword on the sons of...
Some would say
That I am sadistic
I just consider myself
Practical
Because unlike me
They don't have the courage
To torture and mutilate
If necessary
Don't touch me
With that dirty hand
I don't take orders from anyone
Besides Commander Erwin Smith
It's because I was
Raised on the street
And only he didn't treat me like scum
Here on the surface
And they told you
That they built the walls
To protect us
But it wasn't like that
And today I tell you
That they built the walls
But to protect
The titans from me
