Vopos

Camel

They woke you in the night

A glare from bright headlights.

Sentry's in a row,

You watched them from a front window.

Through sleepy eyes you saw the scene,

And felt as if a dream...

Had come to life.



Caught by surprise

Protection in disguise.

A high barricade,

The price too high to pay.

The late-night dancers filled the street,

And stopped as if a dream...

Had come to life



A wail and a cry,

Blue lights flashing by

In shadows of the trees,

A zone runs in between.

The young-boy soldiers filled the streets

And moved as if a dream...

Had come to life.



Can it be a nightmare?

Will you wake and still be there?

So you try to run,

Frightened you're the one left inside.
