Ah pick the AK up
He's still a teen tho
Fighting for the land, he's never seen grow
All he saw was stories what those places could have been
If it was as easy as it seemed
Nagorno Karabakh, yeah, they all heard
Tall mountains, where Bullets fly more often than birds
Where gruesome things happened, indescribable with words
Where the land grows rich with minerals and herbs
The situation grows too, so many died for it
We want our lands back, people made a riot
Not a single person quiet, getting ready for the fight
So I'll tell you lot a story bout a guy
Couple days go by, and he gets the call
Country's calling him to arms, and he's got to go
As he's getting on the bus, and they're saying goodbye
Looks at his mother for the very last time
And says
Mama don't cry, if I die
Know that when I died, I smiled
It's alright
If I could, I'd do it twice
Mama there's no need to
Cry, if I die
Know that when I died I smiled
It's alright
If I could, I'd do it twice
Mama there's no need to cry
The bus is now on the road
They're going to the red zone
The mood is starting to set
No option to get back home
The first of a lot of days
He puts his hands up and prays
He's praying for their safety
He's praying for better days
They make it to the camp
They all get up and stand
Be ready for command
"40 something hours and we move out to the Xand
Understand?"
Yessir!
Hands, down the stairs
Rest
2 days pass like flies
"Is today the day I die?"
That's the question in his mind
But he knows it's not the time to
Load himself with that, he better load his rifle
The other side are always trigger happy on arrival
Mama don't cry, if I die
Know that when I died, I smiled
It's alright
If I could, I'd do it twice
Mama there's no need to
Cry, if I die
Know that when I died I smiled
It's alright
If I could, I'd do it twice
Mama there's no need to cry
They move out and they split up, nobody got to sit out
Their number one motive; we won't stop until they give up
He's following his group into the action
The full squad is him, 2 comrades and their captain
Doing a quick sweep of an old base they once had
And as they come closer, they see no soldiers
Seems to be clear, he's starting to feel fear
They see the enemy, outnumbered to the tee
There's no way to retreat
They covered the way back
He's got a plan to distract
He turns and says "Lieutenant
I know it's hard for you to understand this but I got a plan
It'll give you guys a chance
To go back to your families while you can"
The captain said no, but he reminded of his four sons
The young guy said, "I don't want them to be orphans"
He went and tried to fight, it was time he was buying
He died a hero's death
And when they found him he was smiling
Mama don't cry, if I die
Know that when I died, I smiled
It's alright
If I could, I'd do it twice
Mama there's no need to
Cry, if I die
Know that when I died I smiled
It's alright
If I could, I'd do it twice
Mama there's no need to cry
