-
You all know the tragic story
of the Kursk submarine
-
And Captain Kolesnikov’s letter.
-
That led to a song.
-
Who will tell us about death
-
A couple of honest words?
-
Too bad there are no black boxes
-
For fallen sailors.
-
The pencil snaps.
It’s cold and dark.
-
Captain Kolesnikov
-
Is writing us a letter.
-
The pencil snaps.
It's cold and dark.
-
Captain Kolesnikov
is writing us a letter.
-
There are few of us alive
-
At the ocean’s hungry bottom.
-
Three compartments blew up,
-
Another three are on fire.
-
I know there’s no hope.
-
But wait if you believe.
-
You will find my letter
-
lying on your chest.
-
I know there’s no hope.
-
But wait if you believe.
-
You will find this letter
lying on your chest.
-
Like a torn-up grave, the Kursk
-
jerked and then froze.
-
As if to say farewell to chopped through
-
the ropes of rusty veins.
-
And over stormy waters
-
Gulls and ships
-
The sub sleeps grounded,
but far away from ground.
-
And over stormy waters
-
Gulls and ships
-
The sub sleeps grounded,
but far away from ground.
-
Later about what happened
-
They’ll tell us many lies.
-
Will the Board of Inquiry
-
just tell us that dying’s hard.
-
Who were just regular guys...?
-
Who were heroes, and
who’s a piece of shit.
-
That’s Captain Kolesnikov
-
writing us a letter.
-
Who were just regular guys? Who's a hero?
And who's a piece of shit?
-
Captain Kolesnikov
is writing us a letter.
-
Hit it, Vanya!
