The Knife |
| 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 |
