The song is about how people judge someone by the one good deed that they did and died for. This is an evil man, who probably raped and killed many innocents, as was expected in mercenaries of that time, who was then hired by a man to defend a town of "old and weak" people. He obviously died doing this, and shuns the use of the word "hero" to describe, because, even though he died protecting innocents, he is still an "evil man" who did terrible things.
