Lyrics

As two kids
Who always spent
Their time and played
With toy guns in their hands
There you stood
In front of me They taught me that
You’re my enemy
And when our eyes have met
We both set sails to death
With guns of grown up men
I fear it might be my last breath
Eye to eye
Our aim is blinded by the sun
Seeking higher ground
To a safe haven I now run
The night had fell
On no man’s land
This flute was heard
From out there in the dark
I knew the words
And joined in song
This nightly truce
A miracle of hope
We raise our hands and walk
Upright to move towards each other
No guns no death between
The enemies now turned to brothers
Together on this barren earth
I tell him of my son
No pawns or deadly toys-
The morning comes and we are done
We head to base and end the truce
That lasted through this war of liars
A vision of a better life
Where music drowns the toy gun’s fire
Next night I see a shadow
And we both shoot in the name of God
As we fell down our eyes have met-
Our friendship ends now
In this turmoil of blood
