Assassins left me with no choice: Lockup or ATO... Off to hell I go. Farewell, my mother...
Mine is not the war i joined, But I'm a soldier now. Deadly scared to fire! Damn you, West, to dark hell!
Chorus:
Twenty three, I'm only twenty three... Next to burning tank alone I bleed! Those who rein in bloody agony, Leave no headstones were we're buried deep. Raised up high, white flag is all I need But they won't let me to make it real. Twenty three, I'm only twenty three, And from all around it's kin I see... Twenty three...
New millennium's war at hand – So frantic to believe... This is not a game, But wicked truth we live in!
Cannon fire tore my tank, Among the wrecks I bleed, In this fire as (a) flag Of hell on earth right here!
Repeat Chorus
Burning homes glow all around – Among the bombs that fall. Hear me, brother! How Could you become so foreign?
God, I swear I killed no one! My soul is pure for all. Though I went through fire, I've committed no murder.
Repeat chorus
Twenty three, I'm only twenty three... There's no heartly love light that I see – Cannon fire where I was left to bleed, I was twenty three, oh... God, forgive me!
