these past few nights we've slept with skin warm on skin    and the sirens in the hours before dawn    the weak grey light too much to keep me from thinking    your hand in mine enough to keep me feeling strong    and if they come for us by morning    with that knock knock on the door    i'll hold you a little closer as they reach the second floor    and if i have to give my name    you know i won't be giving yours    i'll run my hands through your hair    and say it's them who's really scared    cuz they know our love is stronger    than their bars could ever be    that afternoon we sat cross legged in the backyard    as the smoke erased our pictures dates and names    took just one match to burn this poetic evidence    and just one glance to see our fear reflected in the flames    and if you called me up past midnight    you hear that clicking on the line?    i would try to reassure you that everything is fine    and if you have to give your name    i know you won't be giving mine    you'll run your hands through my hair    and say it's them who's really scared    cuz they know our love is stronger    than their bars could ever be    sometimes you give em hell    and sometimes there's hell to pay    but they know damn well    that we are not going away    we may be lying through our teeth    but we'll still sing we are not afraid    and friends i swear that i'll keep singing    if they take you away    when they come for us by sundown    black steel glints in vacant eyes    we'll shake our heads and link our arms    and ask how many more must die?    in defense of earth and freedom    in defiance of the lies    we've been fighting for so long    and i just can't believe you're gone    still i know our love is stronger    than their guns could ever be
