About This Track

"The Pact" is a track by The Divine Comedy, from the album Foreverland (Deluxe Version), released 2nd September 2016. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

The Pact

[Verse 1]

This is our pact

This is our Entente Cordiale

When they attack

And you can be sure that they shall

We shall without delay

Come to each other's aid

And man the barricades together

[Verse 2]

This is our pact

This is the treaty that we've signed

What one may lack

The other party will provide

And everyone must know

You mess with one, you mess with both

And together we'll beat the bastards back

This is our pact

[Bridge]

A bond born of brotherhood

A friendship forged in fire

To benefit the common good

And further our desires

A special relationship

A meeting of the minds

Two proud and sovereign nations sit

Together side by side

[Verse 3]

This is our pact

And we will come when duty calls

No turning back

It's all for one and one for all

And though the world may try

To come between us by and by

Together we'll beat the bastards back

This is our pact

Yeah this is our pact

This is our pact
