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
