we didn’t see the blade
on an unlit night
no time to be afraid
when on an unlit night
knife wound
a new kind of love
is happening to us
a new kind of trust
we’ll never understand
what points us to a place
the evil side of man
what points him to a place
knife wound
where on the spot we stand
I’m reaching for your hand
a new kind of man
are we really cut
or is it just a dream
two rivers red with blood
or is it just a dream
knife wound
I want to memorize
the way I feel inside
the look in your eyes
I don’t want to be with anyone else
but you
if this is the end then
I’m satisfied with love
