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
He 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
This is the Year of Knife
See the mountains crumble
Feel the fire go cold
Summer will turn to window
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
Now I ain't gonna sleep tonight
Too late for the young gun
To lead a simple life
Too late for the young gun
This is a Year of Knife
The lyrics YEAR OF THE KNIFE of TEARS FOR FEARS is also present in the album The seeds of love (1989)
Tears for Fears è un duo musicale britannico formatosi a Bath nel 1981 da Roland Orzabal (chitarra, voce) e Curt Smith (basso, voce). Il loro sound, caratterizzato da atmosfere synth-pop introspettive e testi che esplorano temi come l'ansia, la depressione e la solitudine, li ha catapultati al successo internazionale negli anni '80. Shout (1985) e Everybody Wants to Rule the World (1985) sono diventate hit planetarie, consacrando il gruppo come uno dei pilastri della new wave. Dopo un periodo di pausa, Tears for Fears ha fatto ritorno con successo negli anni '90 e 2000, pubblicando album come *Elemental* (1993) e *Everybody Loves a Happy Ending* (2004). Tra i brani più rappresentativi del loro repertorio figurano anche *Mad World*, *Pale Shelter* e *Advice for the Young at Heart*.
