The Levellers Steel Knife lyrics

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 moment's 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
