The Ministry of Truth, the Ministry of Peace, the Ministry of Love, and the Ministry of Plenty are the four ministries of the government of Oceania in the 1949 dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, by George Orwell.

Strange streets and stranger eyes
And the giants flying by

I always thought I'd die at home
Until a stranger came my way
Until the sun broke through the grey
And the wind had died away
We ran like light

No skin stuck in the chain
Set loose
We're free
The chill is not so deep
But is it all so bright and violent?
I sang a creaky song that day
To the stillness in your eyes
I try to howl
But it's not enough to drag you back to life
And I don't want you to go
I can't shake you awake
This shell has failed us both
So I ran like light
When you fell like rain
It wasn't long before they had me back in chains
