about

This song is about confronting your demons, and starting a new life with your lover. It uses themes of fleeing the Eastern Bloc as an allegory for leaving your old life behind, and features distorted shoegaze guitars, surf punk drums, and a tension filled air raid siren. A triumphant love song about overcoming adversity with the one you love.

lyrics

Who'll help out now that we've been found out
Two steps from the borderline
And they'll say
Soldat allez
Alle armi
Conflit arme
Pour la victoire
Ferro mata
Ferro morre
You'll take my hand
We'll leave this party now
Free us from this war of mine
And they'll say
Soldat allez
Alle armi
Conflit arme
Pour la victoire
Ferro mata
Ferro morre

We're thick as thieves
They're sharp as knives
We're on the run to save our lives
Stuck underground, no time to grieve
Twisted terror, empty streets
Words and weapons
There's a long way to heaven, yeah
Our cross to bear
Hold my hand, my dear
Our future's unclear
There's no stopping here
Our love takes shape
On the run to escape
Words and weapons
There's a long way to heaven, yeah
Our cross to bear
Hold my hand, my dear
Our future's unclear
There's no stopping here
Don't be afraid
Down goes the barricade

Clear skies ahead
We found our way out
Hearts intact
Just you and I
And they'll say
Soldat allez
Alle armi
Conflit arme
Pour la victoire
Ferro mata
Ferro morre
Your skin on mine
Babe, pull me closer now
Smiling, crooked teeth collide
And they'll say
Soldat allez
Alle armi
Conflit arme
Pour la victoire
Ferro mata
Ferro morre

We're thick as thieves
They're sharp as knives
We're on the run to save our lives
Stuck underground, no time to grieve
Twisted terror, empty streets
Words and weapons
There's a long way to heaven, yeah
Our cross to bear
Hold my hand, my dear
Our future's unclear
There's no stopping here
Our love takes shape
On the run to escape
Words and weapons
There's a long way to heaven, yeah
Our cross to bear
Hold my hand, my dear
Our future's unclear
There's no stopping here
Don't be afraid
Down goes the barricade
Words and weapons
There's a long way to heaven, yeah
Our cross to bear
Hold my hand, my dear
Our future's unclear
There's no stopping here
Our love takes shape
On the run to escape
Words and weapons
There's a long way to heaven, yeah
Our cross to bear
Hold my hand, my dear
Our future's unclear
There's no stopping here
Don't be afraid
Down goes the barricade
