Vopos lyrics

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.
