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
The day before the war
Our hands across the water, 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
The day before the war, the day before the war
The day before the war, 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
The day before the war
Our hearts across the water, 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
The day before the war, the day before the war
The day before, the day before the war
