Discover the story of the song > Under the Radar – Abney Park

The lyrics are about a protagonist and his crew who are going unnoticed by their enemies as they approach and attack. They are able to sneak up on their opponents without being seen or heard, and surprise them with an attack using cannons and swords drawn. The chorus repeats the phrase "Here we come, on the run, our coal fires are burning" and "under the radar we crept on" to emphasize the stealthy nature of their approach.
