day before the war

standing on the border

waiting on the line. silence is a stranger

in these troubled times. i recall a better place

where i controlled my mind. we had no fears at all. the day before the war. hands across the water

the sun is in the east. who will feed the famine

after lions feast?

in the name of jesus

in the name of god

you took it all in vain. the day before the war. standing on the border

waiting on the line. feet in bloody water

deafened by the crime. i recall the beauty

young will never see. we had no fears at all. the day before the war. hearts across the water

the sun is in the east. ships arrived this morning

from the burning sea. take away the glory

take away the pain. you were a friend of mine. the day before the war.
