Lyrics Levellers – Steel Knife
Text:
I dreamt I felt a steel knife
Slide smooth across a throat
The blood that came forth
Well it ended all the hope
This was the passion and this was the pain
This was a beginning and this was the end
This was a beginning and this was the end
Don’t tell me that it’s over
Take me out of this sun
Let this darkness carry on
Take me out of this sun
I woke to find this whole world
Weary in its fight
Searching for the mercy
Left fumbling in the night
A moments liberation
When the world is done
The gentle touch of lovers
And this whole things begun
So don’t tell me that it’s over
That it’s over…
I dreamt I felt a steel knife
Slide smooth across a throat
A moments hesitation
Before you kill the hope
Is this the passion is this the pain
Is this the ending or do we start again
Just don’t tell me that it’s over
That it’s over
Take me out of this sun
Let this darkness carry on
Take me out of this sun
