When war came so close
The rivers of the cities rose
With the colour shifting to crimson
And the spirits of deceased had arisen
Their revengeful agonising groans
Sent deep shivers through your bones

When war comes so near
And the love we hold dear
Scatters away into nothing
Leaving the people still clutching
The last shred of peace
As the joy and laughter ceases

When war will approach nearby
And the loss of a lovers sighs
Will become so apparent
And the longing to not feel transparent
Takes over the soul
As the loss takes a great toll
