Last Day Songtext
von Plamenev

Across dusty roads, he followed his track
At an easy pace with a gun on his back
His backpack was thin, he would have just one meal
But he knew that way home was just unreal

All those last days seemed to us like the blazes
We could see the death, it just followed our traces
We wanted to fight to protect our folks
But now on the inside, the cruelty talks

It′s better to burn than to feel humiliation
We've fought for a month being in the isolation
We asked to save us, but nobody heard us
The missiles had fallen ′till the light touched the surface

There was the fragment wound; he tightened his belt
The shadow of the death that time we felt (we knew it)
'Till the end of his life, just one day's left

Trapped in the noose, so we couldn′t hold out there
When the night came, he resolved to regroup them
Bombs have been planted, at dawn they′ll explode
Now we are switched to the breakthrough mode


All those last days seemed to us like the blazes
We could see the death, it just followed our traces
We wanted to burn all that scum to the ground
But all we have brought is more evil around

It's better to burn than to feel humiliation
We′ve fought for a month being in the isolation
We asked to save us, but nobody heard us
We gave up positions 'till the light touched the surface

He covered our backs, wasting all his reserves
He has taken the fire, so an hour is served
The last day for him is our lives preserved

He saw his last daybreak right at the hill
The whisper of leafs and the grass he could feel
He′d lost much of his blood, but he wanted to live
He's fallen asleep, there′s no reason for grief

All his last pain seemed to him like the blazes
It just could be the death, it could call by its glances
His way back home just couldn't be taken
He has fallen asleep, and he can't be awakened

And he hasn′t been burnt and lived in humiliation
And he was the last one in that isolation
Our plan has worked, and we′ve heard the explosions
But we haven't been there, we survived those commotions


And in the East the sun was rising with no haste
Leaves sang their song softly ′round that place
So his soul left the world for the upper spacе
