The Knife

from The Dusty Dream Hole by Bannerman

/

lyrics

Once there was a knife roaming folds of flesh like lightning
My scars improve, when I’m underneath the moon they shine.

Radiant like angels lit from behind
Warm is the knife
And slowly it reveals all it knows
No will can ever stop the knife.

I’ve seen the rage foaming as the wound lies open
And as I swoon there ain’t anything that I can do.

Caught up in the wheels as murder cries
Warm is the knife
And slowly it compels me to grow
No will can ever stop the knife.

The witching foretold pain and death
Watch the cattle take their final breath.
