Wikipedia article
'Close (We Stroke the Flames)' is the second single from German synthpop group Camouflage's fourth album 'Bodega Bohemia', released in 1993. The song was remixed for single release, adding a much more radio-friendly drum and synth track to the mostly-acoustic album version.
Lyrics
The text refers to the resurgent Neo-Nazism in Germany at that time with sentences like "They're marching on with torches....The tale is told again" and the warning
"And if we don't care, we end up all the same. We stroke the flames, we never quenched all those years. We should have learned. from things which may come close."[https://genius.com/Camouflage-close-we-stroke-the-flames-lyrics Close (We Stroke the Flames)] Camouflage Lyrics genius.com, retrieved 4 December 2017
