The Knife Lyrics

Cover art for The Knife lyrics by Genesis

Am i the only one who thinks this song might be connected to the letter written by Marie Antoinette before her execution? I think it's about the French during that time, 18th century, who thought they were doing all of these violent and horrible things for the freedom of the state.

But still this is a great Genesis song. It's one of their heavier songs and it's still beautiful. This just goes to show you that Genesis can write anything.
