Steel Knife

The Levellers

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
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

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
Take me out of this sun
Let this darkness carry on
Take me out of this
