Secrets and Safety

Secrets and safety, prey on your mind Warm honour and valediction, you're biding your time Stepped into colder places, fighting against the crime The lockdown prescription untying the ties that bind

Secrets and safety, play with your time Worn courage and contradiction, will make you unkind Cold shouldered the golden faces, catching up with the final crime Repealing the triumphs of ages, playing against your side

Secrets and safety, way down the line To call out the day-long prediction: no weapons are fine Stepped into older spaces, ambitions are bound in time You back down tradition, it's no way to show your sign

Save me from that fear Save me from my fears, again
