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 this evil. Now, when I give the word are you 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, Have them on stakes let the blood flow. Now, in this hate-filled world we must break all the chains that have bound us. Now, the crusade has begun we shall make this a land fit for heroes. Stand up and fight, for you know we are right We are only wanting freedom. 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.
