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 love on bed denied He played Jekyll and Hyde Till the day he died Too late for the young gun To live a simple life Too late for the young gun This is, 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 last words Came from the heart of a man I made my bed on love denied Now I ain't gonna sleep tonight 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 (yeah yeah) This is the year of the knife
