Lyrics The Knife - 2008 Digital Remaster - Genesis

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'll 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'll 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
We are only wanting freedom
We are only wanting freedom
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
