- The Evil That Men Do Lyrics / with translationsLove is a razor and I walked the line on that silver blade
Slept in the dust with his daughter, her eyes red with
The slaughter of innocence
And I will pray for her
I will call her name out loud
I would bleed for her
If I could only see her now
Living on a razor's edge
Balancing on a ledge
Living on a razor's edge
Balancing on a ledge
Balancing on a ledge
Living on a razor's edge
Balancing on a ledge
You know, you know
The evil that men do lives on and on.....(4x)
Circle of fire my baptism of joy at an end it seems
The seventh lamb slain, the book of life opens before me
And I will pray for you
Someday I may return
Don't you cry for me
Beyond is where I learn
Living on a razor's edge
Balancing on a ledge
Living on a razor's edge
You know, you know
The evil that men do lives on and on.....(4x)
Living on a razor's edge
Balancing on a ledge
Living on a razor's edge
You know, you know
The evil that men do lives on and on.....(4x)
The evil, the evil, the evil that men do
The evil, the evil, the evil that men do
Slept in the dust with his daughter, her eyes red with
The slaughter of innocence
And I will pray for her
I will call her name out loud
I would bleed for her
If I could only see her now
Living on a razor's edge
Balancing on a ledge
Living on a razor's edge
Balancing on a ledge
Balancing on a ledge
Living on a razor's edge
Balancing on a ledge
You know, you know
The evil that men do lives on and on.....(4x)
Circle of fire my baptism of joy at an end it seems
And I will pray for you
Someday I may return
Don't you cry for me
Beyond is where I learn
Living on a razor's edge
Balancing on a ledge
Living on a razor's edge
You know, you know
The evil that men do lives on and on.....(4x)
Living on a razor's edge
Balancing on a ledge
Living on a razor's edge
You know, you know
The evil that men do lives on and on.....(4x)
The evil, the evil, the evil that men do
The evil, the evil, the evil that men do
