This is the year of the knife, this is the year of the knife
See the mountains crumble
Came from the heart of the man
I made my bed on love denied
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
They say his famous final words
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
Sun and the moon
Too late, much too late
Too late for the young gun I said
Sun and the moon
To lead a simple life
Played Jekyll and Hyde till the day he died
This is the year of the knife, this is the year of the knife
Too late for the young gun
Too late for the young gun
Feel the fire go cold
This is the year of the knife, this is the year of the knife
Too late for the young gun
Might try and save his life
They say his famous final words
He made his bed on love denied
And now he'll dream some magic queen
Came from the heart of the man
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
To lead a simple life
Love will turn to stone
Summer will turn to winter
