LINE OF SIGHT
(music: P. Myllynen, A. Creven / lyrics: A. Creven)


Smoke dispersed -
Your duty's served
It's time to pack up your gear and leave
Erase this time
out of your mind
It's just a hole in your timescale

Welcome back, our sons returning!
Oh, how proud your mother must be
now...!
...But do you sleep your nights?

Dim glowing green
night vision screen
is always a center of your nightly dreams
Targets free
over the hostile field
Medal of Honour ...you earned for deeds

"...Push for dive, evading inbound!"
"Lock on goal - releasing my bombs
- now!"
...But did you see those eyes - ?
watching up at you in the sky
A figure of a child
watching up at you in the sky
Waving up to the sky
...Before he realized:
- He's on your line of sight

In all your dreams
same war machine
takes the place of what you have been
For the rest of life
you repeat your flight
Night after night it haunts your mind

...A waving figure in your screen
Two seconds later: a burning field
You still can see those eyes -
watching up at you in the sky
Curious - as a child
Eyes that watch at you in the sky
waving still at you with smile
Too late he realized:
He's got to run for life!
The small world in those eyes
got inside your line of sight
