Often viewed as the low point of New Order’s second album, “Power, Corruption, & Lies”, We All Stand is about some kind of war, presumably the Vietnam War, based on the timing of the song’s release. On most releases of the album, We All Stand is track 2, after Track 1: Age Of Consent.
Three miles to go
Three miles to go
At the end of the road
There's a soldier waiting for me
I've got three miles to go
Three miles to go
At the end of the road
There's a soldier waiting for me
At the end of the road
At the end of the road
At the end of the road
Life goes on and on in this real life fantasy
Forever to be still, breath held tight inside of me
Life goes on and on in this real life fantasy
Forever to be still, breath held tight inside of me
Life goes on and on
It's a red sky tonight
It's a red sky tonight
At the end of the road
Where all futures go
At the end of the road
There's a soldier waiting for me
He's got three miles to go
Three miles to go
At the end of the road
At the end of the road
There's blood on shore
Life goes on and on in this real life fantasy
Forever to be still, breath held tight inside of me
Life goes on and on in this real life fantasy
Forever to be still, breath held tight inside of me
