Genesis
The Knife (Live From The Lyceum Theatre, London, 7th May 1980)
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, when I give the word
Ready to fight for your freedom
Now, when I save the word
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 lives
Soon we'll have peace, every soldier will rest
We'll spread out our kindnеss to all who our love now deservе
Some of you are going to die
Martyrs of course to the freedom I will provide
Well, 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, when I give the word, ready to fight for your freedom
Now, when I give the word, ready to fight for your freedom
Now, now, now, now
Stand up and fight, for you know we are right
We must strike at the lies, that have spread like disease through our lives
Soon we'll have peace, every soldier will rest
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 I will provide
[Guitar Solo]
WE HAVE WON
WE HAVE WON
Some of you are going to die
Martyrs of course to the freedom and I will provide
I
I
