Don't go walking out alone (it's cold dear)
cold as lead and sharpened steel (but you're safe here)
staring through this blackened eye (I squint through)
men muscled in shadow wish (to take you)
When the war first started
I looked in your eyes and saw
all my duties neglected
but no more
I'll barricade you in my arms
I'll mount our escape at sunrise from
humiliating, dehumanizing lands
they won't sap the strength from us
If they break in before the sun does
I'll fight if I have to but you have to run
If they get me they'll cut off my hands
they'll slit my throat
things you shouldn't see
but if they get you they'll take you as theirs
so take this gun and run
Darling focus your mind now
they've broken the door down
there's not too much time
Over, our days spent so sweetly
I love you completely
there's no more time
I'm sorry it took so long for me
to see that the enemy was me, was me
