"Why?" lyrics

"Why?"

Slowly nears the night
Silence fills the air
The afterglow of the fading day - twinkles in magic light

The weapons are silent now
Ours is the victory
The darkness of night – covers the sight of the fallen on the battlefield

Far from the distance we hear a sound
The cathedral bells announce a glorious day

Finally we cross the town
The virgin at our side
The battle is won – joy everywhere – we see an elated crowd

But still there's something, decreasing her joy and hurting her heart
Her only thought is "why?"

Inwardly torn – she implores the saints with tears in her eyes - asking for the reasons "why?"
