The day before the war there was mortal silence
The people near liberation was near
For peace could not enter the minds
Except for the mines, gunfires, trenches, and grenades
The day before the war there were sleepless minds
An agitated father tucks his only son to bed
For it could be the last time he and his son and reads him his favourite book
For it could be the only time he and his son could laugh together
The day before the war darkness roamed the town
