about

A tribute to the classic early Genesis. The Knife was originally from the bands 1970 album Trespass. It also appeared on their 1973 Live Album, and was used as an encore for many of the bands early live shows.

Our version is more based on the live version being slightly faster with more of an harder edge drive to it all.

lyrics

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 -

(Chorus)
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
things going to change all around us,
Now, the crusade has begun
give us a land fit for heroes,
Now -

(Repeat Chorus - Break)

We are only wanting freedom, we are only wanting freedom, we are only wanting freedom
We are only wanting freedom, we are only wanting freedom, we are only wanting freedom
We are only wanting freedom---

(Break)

--- WE HAVE WON ---

Some of you are going to die,
Martyrs of course to the freedom that I shall provide.
