what was it like before the fight
what was it like before the daybreak turned into night
what was it like before the darkness hid the light
before the wrongs seemed right

what was it like before the ruins
what was it like before these arguments and open wounds
what was it like before this paradise was drowned in sand dunes

in the cool of the day
in the cool of the day
we walked together
in the cool of the day


what was it like before the lie
what was it like before the first tear from a mother's eye
what was it like before the fires in the sky
fell down from on high

what was it like before the war
what was it like before the use of force
before the great divorce
what was it like before the curse began to takes it course - to takes it's course

in the cool of the day
in the cool of the day
we walked together
in the cool of the day
