Nothing Can Stop Ileana

from The Old Gods of New Berlin by Johnny Hollow

/

lyrics

Fathers and lovers make lumbering shadows
(Don’t look away, don’t you look away)
Their frail ambitions can lead to the gallows
But she’s not afraid
Oh, Ileana!



A tangle of traps set to mangle her pride
(Don’t look away, don’t you look away)
But scoundrels and monsters cannot break her stride
She’s not afraid
Oh, Ileana!

Nothing can stop Ileana…

A skip and a hop in a graceful charade
Dodging the dark with a pas de bourre
She’s not afraid
Oh, Ileana!

Nothing can stop Ileana…
