(Downes/Payne)
|
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.
