The Cleaver

lyrics

Remember
Human life is worthless
Don't forget it, don't forget
The fight for justice will turn into disaster
Life flashes so quickly
And death will come even faster

Spirit will be broken by the red wave
In a cage of despair
Two prison terms to shut your mouth
Two prison terms so couldn't get up anymore

I see the light through the bars
This is my single picket
A picket that no one will ever see
The taste of blood on the tongue is a sign that I'm free

They say "Confess
Sign the paper or life is over"
And I don't care anymore
The heart is still beating, but the thoughts are no longer here
Only echoes in my head -
"Face down! Don't move!"

Please, forgive me, my dear
Give this book of madness, rebellious sadness
This native naive Russian truth
Which is disgusting to everyone

I see the light through the bars
This is my single picket
A picket that no one will ever see
The taste of blood on the tongue is a sign that I'm free

Here are empty souls, empty eyes
And no more strength
The barbed wire hung like a crown
And you feel maybe this is the end
But do you know what's the worst thing?
When they put you in a black car
And you know you may never come back
And you just sink into the black
You're becoming it
Nobody will believe the dead
Rest in peace, no one will believe
Rest in peace, no one will check
