We're Away Lyrics

The headlines drip with horror
Beware, beware, beware!
The news says no tomorrow
But how can I be scared...

...In her arms?
World do your worst
She and I have closed our eyes
And lifted every curse

We're away....

In-caving concave military light
Is merely rain against the glass
For lovers in the night.

Such a beautiful song. This is essentially about the power of love, the bond and beauty that can happen between two that is unshakable. It captures that moment when time is lost because you are so connected towards one another, where nothing matters.

Isn't it "concrete, military light", surely?

Yes! Every site has the wrong lyrics for this song. It's clearly 'concrete military might', as the lyrics given don't make sense in the context. Beautiful song.

Basically, he's so, so happy that he feels that anything could happen - the whole world could be blown up, but he wouldn't care, because he's with someone he truly loves.

Isn't it "craven, concrete, military light"?
