Night of Long Knives Lyrics
You wont see us come X4You wont see us come
In the night
With these knives
And these bloodstains on our hands X2
Paint the walls
Taste the blade
On the night of long knivesMidnight we KILLIn summer of 69, there came a prophet
His words were used to profit off the minds of the weak
He spoke of rules deep within the desert
His followers would convert into the belly of the beast
Don't look into his eyes
Burning with malice past the point of no return
They're piling bodies one by one
Fulfilling all the dreams to come
The prophecy of war that Charles Manson had begun in the hills..........of Hollywood tonightCity of the angels
Sanity deprived
The family fatal
They bring the night of long knives
Deserts and the devil
Rapist of the mind
The family fatal
Pitch blackYou wont see us come
In the night
With these knives
And these bloodstains on our hands
Paint the walls
Taste the blade
On the night of long knives
Midnight we killThe hills were echoing with their laughter
Happily ever after was a faded memory
Rosemary and the baby of Polanski
6 people dead and bloodying the hill's of Beverly
They're screaming for their lives
Begging and pleading for lives of babies unborn
The slaughter that had just began
The horror of the splitting skin
Ropes are tied around their necks
to breathe their dying breaths
In the hills..........of Hollywood tonightCity of the angels
Sanity deprived
The family fatal
They bring the night of long knives
Deserts and the devil
Rapist of the mind
The family fatal
They bring the night of long knivesWe have been so wrong
We will fall X2
No tomorrowWe'll fall away tonightDon't look into his eyes
Burning with malice past the point of no return
They're piling bodies one by one
Fulfilling all the dreams to come
The prophecy of war that Charles Manson had begun in the hills........of Hollywood tonightCity of the angels
sanity deprived
the family fatal
they bring the night of long knives X2
deserts and the devil
rapist of the mind
the family fatal
they bring the night of long knivesyou wont see us come
in the night
with these knives
and these bloodstains on our hands X2
paint the walls
taste the blade
on the night of long knivesyou wont see us come
in the night
with these knives
on the night of long knives
