Intro

In the German sky there once was a plane

It carries 71 children and their mothers to spain

Well this plane was sure something

It was full of young Russians

Proudly to gander at topics discussin'

Now Pete the Swiss was doublin' shifts

Jugglin' the iron controlled by his lips

Not a minute too soon children fell to their doom

Struck dead in the air, orphan a father or two

He just laid in the alley Now orphan Vitaly

met a young girl married her quickly

Was so damn in love that they had their two kids

Had a great job; construction in Spain

They were going to see Papa from Caucasus mountain range

Now that damn Swissman crashed them into a plane

I will find where he lives

Speak to his face with the blood in my eyes

 He will see my pain

Many weeks passed

For fear of a suit

The airline said nothin, Vitaly turned blue

For the killing they done

No apology made

Is it 'cause we are Russian you treat us this way

Through a friend that he new Vitaly found Pete

He came to his doorstep expecting to speak

But Pete blew him off

Threw down the pictures Vi brought

Pictures of the 3 most important he lost

 As the pictures fell down

Re-enacting the day

Vitaly's eye blackened no human remained

Well so much can be said

For a man in his shoes

There's no glamour in vengeance There's only this rule:

That the lives you lost can never come back

And the deed in return is worse than the act

Blinded by love and the pain of his loss

He could not remember the act of assault

He awoke in his room all covered in blood

The cops they'd come knockin they knew what he'd done

The government leaned Vitaly was free

They called him the hero, a man above kings

A shadow of man, they were praising his deed

He was alone

Killed a father of 3

No deed that he did could make him complete

It could have been different if only Pete said

"I'm sorry for killin' the few joys you had"

But now there's nothin' for Vitaly to do

But step off a cliff or hang in the noose

Robbed of forgiveness that he could'a gave

 There's no man left to save
