Year of the knife

Hallelujah, the king is dead,
He said, "Love was the knife",
And now he'll dream some magic queen,
Might try and save his life.

They say his famous final words
Came from the heart of the man,
He made his bed on love denied,
Played Jekyll and Hyde till the day he died.

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,
Ooh, ooh, ooh.

Too late for the young gun
To lead a simple life,
Too late for the young gun.

I say
This is the year of the knife,
This is the year of the knife,
This is the year of the knife,
This is the year of the knife,
This is the year of the knife,
This is the year of the knife.

See the mountains crumble,
Feel the fire go cold,
Summer will turn to winter,
Love will turn to stone.

They say his famous final words
Came from the heart of the man,
I made my bed on love denied.

Too late for the young gun
To lead a simple life,
Too late for the young gun.

The sun and the moon,
The sun and the moon,
The wind and the rain.

This is the year of the knife,
This is the year of the knife,
This is the year of the knife,
This is the year of the knife,

This is the year of the knife,
This is the year of the knife,
This is the year of the knife,
This is the year of the knife,

This is the year of the knife (Yeah, yeah, yeah),
This is the year of the knife (Yeah, yeah, yeah),
This is the year of the knife (Yeah, yeah, yeah),
This is the year of the knife (Yeah, yeah, yeah),

This is the year of the knife (Too late),
This is the year of the knife (Too late),
This is the year of the knife (Too late),

Too late, too late,
Too late, much too late,
Too late for the young gun:
This is the year of the knife.
