David Thomas Broughton - Plunge of the Dagger lyrics

Such a token is a rather brittle device, to say “I won't take you of my sight”. I recognize all that I cannot provide, worthless whimsy if you like. And protectionism is hard to pull off. We are at risk every moment of being taken. It all ends with the plunge of the dagger. There are waves of content that crash ashore, and a simplicity that is blackness creeps over all.
