The African twilights came hot and black
I stare at the ground, I can not turn back
Tomorrow the bullet, tomorrow the mud
Tomorrow somebody will die in hot blood


What if I fail when the battle has come?
The men beside me are hard and cold
I'm just a kid, and I'm not that bold

I ask myself a thousand times
Can I pull the trigger, fire at once?
The old man sees me, sits me down
He's been through this, he knows this town

First blood, first fight, first taste of fear
The night is long, the morning's near
You don't know yourself till the lead flies fast
The first fight is nightmare, but it won't be the last

I do remember my first night too
The same dark sweat, the same doubts grew
I didn't sleep, I prayed for dawn
Then the battle came — and I was torn

The thrill was high, my hands went cold
I fired my rifle, like the olds
I don't know who fell, I don't know who cried
I just stood my ground and didn't hide

The first dead enemy came much later
The hands were steady and I didn't hate him
You get used to the heat, you get used to the cold
You get used to the stories that never get old

First blood, first fight, first taste of fear
The night is long, the morning's near
You don't know yourself till the lead flies fast
The first fight is nightmare, but it won't be the last

So sleep now, boy, sleep while you can
Tomorrow will tell apart chickens from men
The Fate does not care if you're scared or brave
Just don't leave your brothers to the grave

I closed my eyes and soon fell asleep
The old man's words were wise and deep
Tomorrow I'll fight, tomorrow I'll bleed
Tomorrow I'll do whatever I need
