The Knife (2007 Stereo Mix)

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, hang them, 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! (Okay, men, fire over their heads, ahh!)

We have now!

(Some of you are going to die)

(Martyrs, of course, to the freedom that I shall provide)
