The Knife

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's time to destroy all this evil
Now, when I give a 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
