Lyrics The Levellers

The Levellers

Steel Knife

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
