The Knife

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Tell me my life is about to begin
Tell me that I am 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 the word
Get ready to fight for your freedom
NOW

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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, break all the chains around us
Now, the crusade has begun, give us a land fit for heroes
NOW

[Chorus]
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

[Interlude]
We are only wanting freedom?
We are only wanting freedom?
We are only wanting freedom?
We are only wanting freedom? (“Freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom…”)
We are only wanting freedom? (“Things are getting out of control here today”)
We are only wanting freedom? (“OK, men – fire over their heads!”)
We are only wanting freedom? (Ahh! Ahh! Ahh!)

[Guitar Solo]

[Interlude]
WE HAVE WON

[Outro]
Some of you are going to die
Martyrs of course to the freedom that I shall provide
