Intro

x2

Verse 1

Five in the morning an hour before dawn, they wake her up in her bed

Standing over her body, and holding a gun to her head

She says "why have you come, oh and what have I done"

They'll tell her "it's come to defeat"

Then they kick through her paintings, and drag her out into the street

Chorus 1

Oh my love, don't take any-more

Oh my love, break down the door

Verse 2

By day they take her, and interiogate her

and tell her "she's crude and insane"

but by night the same keepers, will steal in and rape her aain

She can't see who they are, through the thick black bars

That cast shadows over her eyes

And if she resists, they'll beat hear with fists til she cries

Chorus 2

Oh my love, don't take any-more

Oh my love, break down the door

Oh my love, there's a sun in the east

Its your release

x5

Verse 3

So you the dictator, whose choosen to hate her

tellin' ya to listen to me

There are others who'll fight for the right

to be tender and free

If she dies at your hands, just you understand

I've a knife that is sharp and clean

And i'll paint in your blood, til it turns to a flood

Let her be

Chorus 3

Oh my love, don't take any-more

Oh my love, break down the door

Oh my love, there's a sun in the east

It's your release
