My mother was a blacksmith, my father was the flame,
[D] My midwife was the [G] goddess [Dm]
giving [G] power with [F] my [G] name,
[Am] And I was [G] born [F] of fury [E]
to [D] avenge [F] my [E] people's shame,
I [Am] am need, I [G] am need, I [Am] am need. _ _ _
There was an ancient _ temple, the goddess pledged it so, _
[D] A holy _ woman's haven [F] where [G] no man should [F] ever [G] go,
[Am] A tyrant [G] came [F] to raid [E] and laid [F#m] its last [F] defender [E] low,
I [Am] am need, I [G] am need, I [Am] am need. _ _ _
He _ slaughtered, raped and plundered, and then went on his way,
[D] And spared no thought for [Dm] any that [G] he hadn't chance [F] to [G] slay,
[Am] Such as [B] the temple's [Am] blacksmith [E] still alive [F] among [E] his prey,

I'll [Am] _ _ [B] throw a [Am] [E] skystone and [D] my soul [F] into [E] the steel,
I [Am] am need, I [G] am need, I [Am] am need. _ _ _ _
And when my work was ended, there stood a mighty _ blade,
[D] That answers only [G] to [Dm] the hand [G] of women _ _ [F] unafraid,
[G] _
[Am] A thing of [B] _ [F] _ [E] magic like [D] no weapon [F] ever [E] made,
I [Am] am need, I [G] am need, I [Am] am need. _ _ _
My student found my body, _ a broken [E] bloody [Am] shell,
She [D] knew this mage's [G] spirit [F]
had [G] fled to the sword [F] to dwell,
[G]
She [Am] took the [G] blade [F] I had [E]
become [F#m] and vowed [F] to use [E] it well,
I [Am] am need, I [G] am need, [D]
I [Am] am need. _ _ _ _
We blooded first a vengeance _ _ against that tyrant's crew,

[Am] I gave [G] her strength [F] and skill [E]
beyond [D] all that [F] she [E] ever knew,
I [Am] am need, I [G] am need, I [Am] am need. _ _ _ _ _
And from that hour _ onward, _ across the world I've gone,
[D] The cause for which [G] my goddess [C]
shaped me [G] ever drives [F] me [G] on,
[Am] Where an _ [G] _ [F] _ [E] abuseless woman, [F#m] there [F] this sword [E] is drawn,
I [Am] am need, I [G] am need, [D]
I [Am] am need. _ _ _ _
I answer need of woman, for her I turn aside, _
[D] I hasten to her rescue [F] and I [G] will not be [F] _ [G] denied,
_ [Am] _ _ [G] _ _ [F] _ [E] Slayers by [D] my edge [F] and point [E] have died,
I [Am] am need, I [G] am need, I [Am] am need. _ _ _ _
