They can't take their eyes off the road
The finger on the trigger's guarding the border
Exactly like the commander said:
"You are to wait until the enemy comes."
Guns are like ice in one's hands
Then came an order to hold fire
It changes the men a lot
When they leave the fortification
When the great flag is being lowered from the pole
Lay down your arms! Go away!
Keep your head down! Give away the key!
Spines are breaking - because man
Doesn't forgive himself
Anger, and chewed lips
He found a box of cigarets by touch
For the first and last time he surrendered
Today he stood straight for the last time
It changes the men a lot
When they leave the fortification
When the great flag is being lowered from the pole
Lay down your arms! Go away!
Keep your head down! Give away the key!
Spines are breaking - because man
Doesn't forgive himself
Kicked away, like a football
He walks away from the border embarrasingly
He almost can't see through the tears
He envies the abbysnians1 in vain
It's not simple to accept it, just to stand quietly
Let them slap you around without any sign of ressistance
It changes the men a lot
When they leave the fortification
When the great flag is being lowered from the pole
Lay down your arms! Go away!
Keep your head down! Give away the key!
Spines are breaking - because man
Doesn't forgive himself
Iron then became slime
And a womenizer contracted syphilis
A hero spooked himself in the mirror
He told on his neighbour yesterday
It changes the men a lot
When they leave the fortification
When the great flag is being lowered from the poles
Lay down your arms! Go away!
Keep your head down! Give away the key!
Spines are breaking - because man
Doesn't forgive himself
Anger, and chewed lips
He found a box of cigarets by touch
It changes the men a lot
When they leave the fortification
When the great flag is being lowered from the pole
Lay down your arms! Go away!
Keep your head down! Give away the key!
Spines are breaking - because man
Doesn't forgive himself
For the first and last time he surrendered
Today he stood straight for the last time
