Year Of The Knife

Hallelujah, the king is dead

He said, "Love was the knife"

And now he'll dream of some magic queen

Who might try and save his life

They say his famous final words

Came from the heart of the man

He made his bed, on a lovely night

Played Jekyll and Hyde till the day he died

Too late for the young gun

To lead a simple life

Too late for the young gun, I said

"This is the year of the knife, this is the year of the knife

This is the year of the knife, this is the year of the knife

This is the year of the knife, this is the year of the knife"

See the mountains crumble, feel the fire go cold

Summer will turn to winter, love will turn to stone

They say his famous final words

Came from the heart of the man

I made my bed on a lovely night

Too late for the young gun

To lead a simple life

Too late for the young gun

The sun and the moon

The sun and the moon

The wind

And the rain

This is the year of the knife, this is the year of the knife

This is the year of the knife, this is the year of the knife

This is the year of the knife, this is the year of the knife

This is the year of the knife, this is the year of the knife

This is the year of the knife, this is the year of the knife

This is the year of the knife, this is the year of the knife

This is the year of the knife, this is the year of the knife

It's too late, much too late

Too late for the young gun

This is the year of the knife
