On The Border Line

about

A man living in a war-torn land gains freedom at a high cost and sacrifices his family to cross over the border line to safety. They're cutting down the wire on the border line. They'll burn the midnight fire on the border line.

lyrics

In a desolated town on the border line,
Where peasants lead their lives in poverty,
Another world waits around the winding bend,
No chains or irons where everyone is free.

They’re cutting down the wire,
On the border line,
They’ll burn the midnight fire,
On the border line.
On the border line.

A friendly face beckons from the other side,
Holding a cross of peace and prosperity,
The souls clench crumpled vouchers for the promised land,
The worthless paper a bogus guarantee.

They’re cutting down the wire,
On the border line,
They’ll burn the midnight fire,
On the border line.
On the border line.

Petro made it to the other side,
He had to leave his family behind,
His town eroded all to dust,
The crimes of war are so unjust.
Aah, Aah, Aah, Aah.

Persecution breeds desperation,
The power-hungry rats never change,
They ship them out like cattle at market price,
Five ounce of gold gets it all arranged.

They’re cutting down the wire,
On the border line,
They’ll burn the midnight fire,
On the border line.
They’re cutting down the wire,
On the border line,
They’ll burn the midnight fire,
On the border line.
On the border line.
