lyrics

(October 1st, 1939. It’s cold. My scope is covered in frost. I’m taking it off. The glare alone could get me killed. I’m better off without it. I can see my breath. Perhaps the enemy can, too. I’ll breathe into a mouthful of snow. I’ve never killed anyone before. But I’ll do what they tell me, as well as I can.
The Russians are here. I have to go.)

Finland’s finest on a Red campaign
Blackest death all dressed in white.
I can see you through the windowpane
And I can wait for you all night

Three for every day here in the snow
Six for every day I hide
Ten for every time the cold winds blow
More, until I change my mind.

(I’ll never change my mind)

Invisible.
Untouchable.
Unbeatable.

You can’t run.
You can’t hide.

Maybe I’m not who they say I am
Maybe you could still survive
Maybe you’re the wrench in Finland’s plans
Or maybe you’re five hundred five.

Invisible.
Untouchable.
Unbeatable.

I can’t miss.
I can’t die.

War’s a game and now you know the score
And now you’ll never turn your back
The only reason there’s not hundreds more
Is cause I’ve stopped keeping track.

Invisible.
Untouchable.
Unbeatable.

You can’t run.
You can’t choose.
You can’t win.
I can’t lose.

Intercontinental Music Lab Cambridge, UK

Since 2008, the Intercontinental Music Lab has produced eight albums. They’ve all been made in the same way. We came up with a concept or theme for an album, then asked people to choose subjects around that theme and compose some music. The theme for our first album was science. The theme for our latest album is Spielberg. Enjoy! ... more
