Who am I?

In the beginning of a song, I was extolled for not being afraid to:

1. die
2. be killed in nasty ways
3. be mashed into a pulp
4. have my eyes gouged out
5. have my elbows broken
6. have my kneecaps split
7. have my body burned away
8. have my limbs all hacked and mangled, nor
9. have my head smashed in, my heart cut out, my liver removed, my bowels unplugged, or my bottom burnt off.
