The Knife lyrics
Tell me my life is about to begin.
Tell me that I'm a hero.
Promise me all of your violent dreams.
Light up your body with anger.
Now, in this ugly world,
it is time to destroy all this evil.
Now, when I give a word,
are you ready to fight for your freedom?
NOW
Stand up and fight, for you know we are right.
We must strike at the lies, that have spread like disease through our minds.
Soon we'll have power, every soldier will rest,
And we'll spread out our kindness to all who our love now deserve
Some of you are going to die,
martyrs of course to the freedom that I shall provide.
I'll give you the names of those you must kill,
All must die with their children.
Carry their heads to the palace of old.
Hang them, hang them, let the blood flow.
Now, in this ugly world, breaking the chains around us.
Now, the crusade has begun, give us a land fit for heroes.
NOW
Stand up and fight for you know we are right. etc.
We are only wanting freedom? . . . . . . .
WE HAVE WON
Some of you are going to die,
martyrs of course to the freedom that I shall provide.
Tell me that I'm a hero.
Promise me all of your violent dreams.
Light up your body with anger.
Now, in this ugly world,
it is time to destroy all this evil.
Now, when I give a word,
are you ready to fight for your freedom?
NOW
Stand up and fight, for you know we are right.
We must strike at the lies, that have spread like disease through our minds.
Soon we'll have power, every soldier will rest,
And we'll spread out our kindness to all who our love now deserve
Some of you are going to die,
martyrs of course to the freedom that I shall provide.
I'll give you the names of those you must kill,
All must die with their children.
Carry their heads to the palace of old.
Hang them, hang them, let the blood flow.
Now, in this ugly world, breaking the chains around us.
Now, the crusade has begun, give us a land fit for heroes.
NOW
Stand up and fight for you know we are right. etc.
We are only wanting freedom? . . . . . . .
WE HAVE WON
Some of you are going to die,
martyrs of course to the freedom that I shall provide.
