Orphaned Land
Let the Truce Be Known
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
