It Was Cold

It was cold, it was night

I was with you, some time ago

But you were laughing to hide your crying

In shock and dazed, we walked away

You said "be careful", some lights were shining

They came much closer, we started hiding

Then it was silent, I heard you breathing

But far away, someone was screaming

Some dogs were growling, we started running

We kept on running until the daylight

And it was cold, the smoke was heavy

Casualties high, no one was ready

It was cold, it was night

I was with you, some time ago

You said "no, no" in desperation

The world we knew in desolation
