GENESIS - The Knife lyrics

rate me

For Those that Trespass against us

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 -

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 high, 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 -

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.

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

--- WE HAVE WON ---

Some of you are going to die,

Martyrs of course to the freedom that I shall provide.
