In the quiet of the night, where the war drums fade,
Soldiers gather 'round, in the barricade.
Seeking solace from the violence of the day,
In this fleeting moment, enemies find a way.
In the stillness of the night, we're players in this scene,
Keeping the peace, in the space in between.
Afraid to break the spell, and shatter the serene,
As competitors, in this game unforeseen.
Amidst the quiet, where echoes cease to ring,
Soldiers share stories of a world before the sting.
No uniforms, no flags, just souls laid bare,
In this fleeting respite, we find we truly care.
In the stillness of the night, we're players in this scene,
Keeping the peace, in the space in between.
Afraid to break the spell, and shatter the serene,
As competitors, in this game unforeseen.
But with the dawn's first light, the magic starts to fade,
Back to our trenches, our roles are remade.
As the game draws to a close, we cling to what's been,
Knowing tomorrow, we'll be enemies again.
In the stillness of the night, we're players in this scene,
Keeping the peace, in the space in between.
Afraid to break the spell, and shatter the serene,
As competitors, in this game unforeseen.
