[Instrumental] [THE OLD MAN HAS BEEN RETURNING EVERY NIGHT SINCE NOVEMBER PLAYING HIS MUSIC, AS IF TO PROVE THAT THE SOUL OF HIS COUNTRY, OF HUMANITY, WAS NOT DEAD]
WHEN THE SHELLS HAD CEASED THEIR FALLING THE YOUNG MUSLIM AND THE SERB LISTENED FOR THE OLD MAN'S MUSIC BUT NOW NOT A NOTE WAS HEARD
AND FEARING WHAT HAD HAPPENED EACH DID, WHAT SHOULD NOT BE DARED AND MADE THEIR WAY THROUGH NO MAN'S LAND TO THE OLD MEDIEVAL SQUARE
THEY ARRIVED AT THE SAME MOMENT IN THE COLD DECEMBER AIR BUT NEITHER PULLED A WEAPON FOR EACH KNEW WHY THEY WERE THERE
AND THEY WALKED OVER TO THE FOUNTAIN AND FOUND HIM LAYING THERE IN DEATH THERE WAS BLOOD UPON HIS FACE THE SMASHED CELLO ON HIS CHEST
BUT THEN A SINGLE DROP OF LIQUID FELL FROM OUT THE CLOUDLESS SKY AND IT FELL UPON THE CHEEK OF THE MAN WHO HAD JUST DIED
AND THE SOLDIER FELT A SHUDDER FOR THE WORST HAD COME HE FEARED WHEN THE ONLY SING OF PITY WAS A SINGLE GARGOYLE'S TEAR
HE TURNED TO THE YOUNG WOMAN AND HE SAID LET'S LEAVE THIS WAR BUT A SOLDIER AND HIS UNIFORM WAS ALL THAT SHE NOW SAW
