Текст песни
[ Verse]
Listen to me, think back to when we were young
I wanted to heal, you to the stars had clung
But time went by, my dream fell apart
I became a cop, this life of law from the start
But you, since school, were always loose and wild
A quick fist to the face, saying "I'm the unrivaled child!"
When school was done, with a gang you threw your lot
Life became a thrill - cash, vodka, bars you'd slot
You got your ink, you ran the streets, talked tough
"Why'd the Caucasians cross our line? That's rough."
Settling scores with no one there, you'd make them fall
And that's how you'd walk away, with no trouble at all
They gave me a case, a tangled, twisted thread
A sea of corpses, robberies, a nameless dead
I never thought that all of this would lead to you
And that this sea of death, your own hand had grew!
[Chorus]
Oh, how cruel is life, the hand that we're dealt,
Stepping on each other, the way that we've felt.
Pulling apart the friends who were one,
We're ending this now, as our hearts come undone!
[Verse]
And then you slipped up, a trace I finally found
The lead I'd been searching for on all this ground
I checked the file, it all pointed to you
(It all fits, my God, could it be true?)
I started my hunt, I had to find your track
To interrogate, to never let you turn back
Why did you do it? I wanted to help you, man
You're a friend to my heart, though on the dark path you ran
And then I met you, you never saw it coming
"Hands up! You're under arrest!" my voice was drumming
And I aimed my Makarov pistol right at your face
But you aimed yours at my heart, in that very place
("Why did you do it, brother?") I asked you there
You just looked in my eyes with a silent, desperate stare
A double shot rang out, two bodies hit the floor
An ending like this, we hadn't planned for, for sure
[Recitative]
So little I understood, I understood so little,
I thought of our friendship, right from the middle.
Your pale, pale face, I'll never let it fade
We fell into the abyss, (two ghosts that we made)
[ Chorus]
Oh, how cruel is life, the hand that we're dealt,
Stepping on each other, the way that we've felt.
Pulling apart the friends who were one,
We're ending this now, as our hearts come undone!
[Recitative]
So little I understood, I understood so little,
I thought of our friendship, right from the middle.
Your pale, pale face, I'll never let it fade
We fell into the abyss, (two ghosts that we made)
[End]
