Saboteur - Richard Thompson, Danny Thompson

The song of wheels is in my head and mutiny in my hands

The song of wheels is in my head and mutiny in my hands

I’ll go down to the dark place and kill it where it stands

Be still, be still

My body sings the mill-song but my hammer takes its choice

My body sings the mill-song but my hammer takes its choice

Oh, joy of peace descend upon me as I stop its voice

Be still, be still

Beauty takes my breath, I see the shining of the steel

The hand of man steered by God to make the wondrous mill

Piston, pulley, shaft and spindle, every spool and reel

And I can’t raise my arm to throw my hammer in the wheel

Rules me still, rules me still, rules me still
