about

Dedicated to Ulrike Meinhof (1934 - 1976)

lyrics

in the kingdom of the dead
we don’t talk about the weather
when their vision is your prison, there’s no surrender
who listens now
you’ve run yourself to ground

arms and arson, broken hearts
heavy weight, sins of your fathers
come to life, trouble the waters
they knew you’d drown
or run yourself to ground
all dreams of breaking out
will end in breaking down

welcome to the present tense
let’s put your theory into practice
tear up those criminal commandments
here and now
we only go to ground
all dreams of breaking out
will end in breaking down

salamander, salamander
step into the fire when you can’t see another way
toward a brighter day
