about

The song weaves a tale of survival against a backdrop of desolation and conflict. It paints a scene of determined resilience as a group navigates through a post-apocalyptic landscape, driven by the hope of reunification. The lyrics capture the tension between the remnants of the past and the uncertainty of the future, symbolized by the steel beams and the harrowing challenges faced. Amid chaos, the song conveys a poignant message of love and remembrance, portraying a struggle to preserve humanity's essence in the face of turmoil. The composition evokes a sense of urgency and commitment, echoing the refrain that there's only "one way" forward, resonating with the theme of unity and fortitude in the midst of chaos.

lyrics

In the darkness we will make our way
Past the ruins of the old highway
To the meeting place we hope to find
If any one of us should fall behind
The devastation of our old landscape
Is the secret to our planned escape
The tangled briars made from steel beams
Should help us keep from ever being seen

Reason left too long ago
And madness came to stay
If we hope to live our lives
There can only be one way

Air raid sirens break the silent dawn
It gives me comfort that they're not yet gone
The shockwave ripples with concussive force
It will take more than that to change our course
If we never reach the meeting place
Tell my darling that I saw her face
And by her side is what my heaven means
Whatever's waiting past the steel screen

We can't hope to stay
Don't look back again
There can be one way
Onward through the day

On the precipice of breaking free
The kamikaze's flying over me
It tears the sky up with a shrieking sound
But it's nothing til it hits the ground
Glass is shattering and melted steel
Inferno blazing up what we concealed
To the memory of those who've gone
I know I'll see you where our hearts live on
