I am outside
And I've been waiting for the sun
With my wide eyes
I've seen worlds that don't belong

My mouth is dry
With words I cannot verbalise
Tell me why
We live like this

Keep me safe inside
Your arms like towers
Tower over me, yeh

Cause we are broken
What must we do to restore
Our innocence
And all the promise we adored?
Give us life again
Cause we just wanna be whole

Lock the doors
Cause I'd like to capture this voice
It came to me tonight
So everyone will have a choice

And under red lights
I'll show myself it wasn't forged
We're at war
We live like this

Keep me safe inside
Your arms like towers
Tower over me

Cause we are broken
What must we do to restore
Our innocence
And all the promise we adored?
Give us life again
Cause we just wanna be whole

(Ahh...Ahh...)
Tower over me... (Ahh...)
Tower over me...

And I'll take the truth at any cost

Cause we are broken
What must we do to restore
Our innocence
And all the promise we adored?
Give us life again
Cause we just wanna be whole

The Internet Key Exchange (IKE) is an IPsec (Internet Protocol Security) standard protocol used to ensure security for virtual private network (VPN) negotiation and remote host or network access. Specified in IETF Request for Comments (RFC) 2409, IKE defines an automatic means of negotiation and authentication for IPsec security associations (SA). Security associations are security policies defined for communication between two or more entities; the relationship between the entities is represented by a key. The IKE protocol ensures security for SA communication without the preconfiguration that would otherwise be required.

* Eliminates the need to manually specify all the IPSec security parameters in the crypto maps at both peers.
* Allows you to specify a lifetime for the IPSec security association.
* Allows encryption keys to change during IPSec sessions.
* Allows IPSec to provide anti-replay services.
* Permits Certification Authority (CA) support for a manageable, scalable IPSec implementation.
* Allows dynamic authentication of peers.

There are commercial implementations of the IKE from many companies. SSH Communications Ltd is licensing their implementation as a source form for the other companies. SSH's IKE is amongst the first implementations.

The `Oakley Key Determination Protocol` is a key-agreement protocol that allows authenticated parties to exchange keying material across an insecure connection using the Diffie-Hellman key exchange algorithm. The protocol was proposed by H. Orman in 1998, and formed the basis for the more widely used Internet key exchange protocol. The Oakley protocol has also been implemented in Cisco Systems' ISAKMP daemon.
