TOMORROW WHEN THE WAR BEGAN
The war is here, is on!
They've come to arrogate our land.
They've come to destroy us.

We will fight, I will fight.
I fear no evil for I am brave to endure the bad situation.

I see their ammunition pointing straight to us,
Ready to shoot, but again we will fight to overcome their power, tomorrow and the war has begun.
