Tomorrow Death
Somewhere death sleeps
Somewhere my body is awaiting
I once was this silly teenager
Beleiving the revolution would take us somewhere
Now they ask me to vote for their party
I say ”No, not today”
If life could give me everything, then again
Russia is still very close, it is a heart-beat away
Struggling people, working people, somehow Middle-class
Myself I was born free and waving
Somewhere death will take its toll
And I will call myself its victim
Then how did I live my life?
Sun my spirit
Moon my emotions
I had an option, yes I know that
And the Map placed me on its European shape
I am here
Tomorrow someone else´s death
