Lyrics

Hallelujah, the king is dead He said "Love was the knife" And now he'll dream some magic queen Might try and save his life They say his famous final words Came from the heart of the man He made his bed on love denied 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 love denied Too late for the young gun To lead a simple life Too late for the young gun Sun and the moon 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 Too late, much too late Too late for the young gun, this is the year of the knife
