The banners of our army are still hidden behind the horizon,
But those who see far ahead, see a red gleam on their skin.
The gray banners of love are flying above us, blocking out the sky,
But those who see far ahead, are laughing at love's victory.
Run, run while I can't see you; hide, hide,
But I will know, I will recognize all of you and find you all.
Breathe, breathe while I can't hear you; repent, repent,
But don't get your hopes up: I will come for you, my darling. I love you.
You won't notice this moment, but tomorrow morning
Open your eyes and see for yourself: there will be banners fluttering in the wind.
Run, run while I can't see you; hide, hide,
But I will know, I will recognize all of you and find you all.
Breathe, breathe while I can't hear you; repent, repent,
But don't get your hopes up: I will come for you, my darling. I love you.
