[00:07.81] In the German sky there once was a plane
[00:17.93] It carries 71 children and their mothers to spain
[00:22.20]
[00:24.32] Well this plane was sure something
[00:28.63] It was full of young Russians
[00:34.63] Proudly to gander at topics discussin'
[00:37.39]
[00:40.82] Now Pete the Swiss was doublin' shifts
[00:46.82]
[00:51.13] Jugglin' the iron controlled by his lips
[00:54.82]
[00:57.13] Not a minute too soon children fell to their doom
[01:03.57]
[01:07.07] Struck dead in the air, orphan a father or two
[01:10.95]
[01:13.70] He just laid in the alley
[01:15.64]
[01:18.20] Now orphan Vitaly met a young girl
[01:24.45]
[01:26.25] Married her quickly
[01:27.62]
[01:28.18] Was so damn in love that they had their two kids
[01:32.75] Had a great job; construction in Spain
[01:37.25] They were going to see Papa from Caucasus mountain range
[01:40.56]
[01:41.62] Now that damn Swissman crashed them into a plane
[01:45.62] I will find where he lives
[01:48.12] Speak to his face with the blood in my eyes
[01:51.62]
[01:52.37] He will see my pain
[01:57.43]
[02:00.31] Many weeks passed
[02:04.50] For fear of a suit
[02:10.06] The airline said nothin, Vitaly turned blue
[02:13.43]
[02:16.25] For the killing they done
[02:18.24]
[02:20.56] No apology made
[02:22.31]
[02:26.00] Is it 'cause we are Russian you treat us this way
[02:30.25]
[02:32.75] Through a friend that he new Vitaly found Pete
[02:43.12] He came to his doorstep expecting to speak
[02:46.43]
[02:49.50] But Pete blew him off
[02:54.15] Threw down the pictures Vi brought
[02:57.71]
[02:59.58] Pictures of the 3 most important he lost
[03:02.52]
[03:05.84] As the pictures fell down
[03:08.77]
[03:11.27] Re-enacting the day
[03:16.27] Vitaly's eye blackened
[03:18.40] No human remained
[03:21.90] Well so much can be said
[03:26.64] For a man in shoeshis
[03:31.06] There's no glamour in vengeance
[03:33.62] There's this only rule:
[03:37.16] That the lives you lost can never come back
[03:46.35] And the deed in return is worse than the act
[03:53.15] Blinded by love and the pain of his loss
[04:02.03] He could not remember the act of assault
[04:07.66] He awoke in his room all covered in blood
[04:17.35] The cops they'd come knockin
[04:20.16] They knew what he'd done
[04:27.72] The government leaned
[04:32.47] Vitaly was free
[04:33.71] They called him the hero, a man above kings
[04:38.71] A shadow of man, they were praising his deed
[04:47.65] He was alone killed a father of 3
[04:52.15] No deed that he did could make him complete
[04:56.02] It could have been different if only Pete said
[05:00.09] "I'm sorry for killin' the few joys you had"
[05:04.02] But now there's nothin' for Vitaly to do
[05:08.18] But step off a cliff or hang in the noose
[05:12.24] Robbed of forgiveness that he could'a gave
[05:15.56]
[05:17.51] There's no man left to save
