lyrics

About to be caught by a world beating wave
The kind that destroys the proud and the brave
No escape routes and nowhere to run
He's filled with the knowledge of what must be done
Singing "Johnny draw back the knife
Johnny draw back the knife
take back what you know that you must let go of
Johnny draw back the knife"

So he did what he had to and plunged forth the blade
Brightness shone forth destroying all shade
The blade stood deep in her quivering breast
She uttered these words as he stared at her chest
Singing "Johnny draw back the knife
Johnny draw back the knife
take back what you know that you must let go of
Johnny draw back the knife"

Many years later sat by the sea shore
He'd tell the story of what happened before
And how he'd always be tied to the land
And the vicious death that the seabed had planned
Singing "Johnny draw back the knife
Johnny draw back the knife
take back what you know that you must let go of
Johnny draw back the knife
Johnny draw back the knife
take back what you know that you must let go of
Johnny draw back the knife"
