GENESIS - The Knife (live version) lyrics

rate me

Tell me my life is about to begin,

Tell me that I'm a hero,

Promise me all of you violent dreams,

I guarantee all you will need them

Now, in this ugly world,

get ready to fight for your freedom

Now, when I give the word,

get ready to destroy all this evil

Now -

Stand up and fight, for you know we are right

We will strike at the lies

That have spread like disease through our minds.

Soon we'll have won and we'll treasure this worth

With our winnings and kindness

To all who our love now deserve

Some of you are going to die -

Martyrs, of course, to the freedom I will provide.

I'll give you the names of those you must kill

Then have all burned and quickly

Cover them up in Trafalgar Square

Hurry to see, you'll see them dead

In this ugly world,

ready to fight for your freedom

Now, when I give a word

hang 'em on high, let the blood flow

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 won and we'll treasure this worth

With our winnings and kindness

To all who our love now deserve

Some of you are going to die -

Martyrs of course, to the freedom I will provide

We are only wanting freedom...

--- WE HAVE WON ---

Some of you are going to die,

Martyrs, of course, to the freedom I will provide
