(DownesPayne)

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
