The Last Night

Don’t go, my love!

Not today, not this night

Remember your promise?

How can this be right

                 Times are indeed cruel

                Oh God give us courage

                But I still don’t get it -

                Why all the killer rage

Torn by this nasty war

The nation lost its beauty

You must go rather far

Be bound by your duty

                The mind accepts it

                Being, after all, shrewd

                The heart vetoes it

                There in comes the feud

I am lost, totally speechless

With you gone, why this life

I am pained by distress

To get through this strife

                Journey to battlefield

                To fight them; to attack

                But what would it yield

                If you did not come back

We will win this war

I am sure about it

But what of me?

Did you think a bit

            Promise me, my love

On this very last night

Our love for each other

It always be bright
