Lyrics Machine Head

Machine Head

Night of Long Knives

You won't see us come

You won't see us come

You won't see us come

You won't see us come

You won't see us come

In the night

With these knives

And these bloodstains on our hands

And these bloodstains on our hands

Paint the walls

Taste the blade

On the night of long knives

Midnight we KILL

In summer of '69, there came a prophet

His words were used to propel the minds of the weak

He sprawled them balls deep within the desert

His followers into the belly of the beast

Don't look into his eyes

Buried with knowledge past the point of no return

The pride of the work he'd done

The family all the dreams they could

The prophecy of Charles Manson and what had been done in the hills

Of Hollywood tonight

Sing of the angels

Sanity deprived

The family fatal

They bring the night of long knives

Deserts and the devil

Rapist of mind

The family fatal

Pitch black

You won't 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 kill

The hills were echoing with their laughter

Happily ever after was a faded memory

Rosemary and the baby of Polanski

6 people dead and bloody

In the hills of family

Now screaming for their lives

Praying and pleading for lives of babies unborn

The spawn of hell they just begin

The horror of the splitting skin

Noose tied around their necks

To beat their dying breaths

In the hills

Of Hollywood tonight

Sing of the angels

Sanity deprived

The family fatal

They bring the night of long knives

Deserts and the devil

Rapist of mind

The family fatal

They bring the night of long knives

We have been so wrong

We will fall

We will fall

No tomorrow

We'll fall away tonight

Don't look into his eyes

Buried with knowledge past the point of no return

The pride of the work he'd done

The family all the dreams they could

The prophecy of Charles Manson and what had been done in the hills

Of Hollywood tonight

Sing of the angels

Sanity deprived

The family fatal

They bring the night of long knives

They bring the night of long knives

Deserts and the devil

Rapist of mind

The family fatal

They bring the night of long knives

You won't see us come

In the night

With these knives

And these bloodstains on our hands

And these bloodstains on our hands

Paint the walls

Taste the blade

On the night of long knives

You won't see us come

In the night

With these knives

On the night of long knives
