Father used to play the piano Down in the dining room But the autumn came He was taken away By the cruel doom Gone to war Home under threat Far away Gone he had Mom weeps at night Treats me right Telling nothing about the dad Once we were knocked At the door We got a letter - father was dead It took away all we had Cruel World War the Second War of the Black and the Red Cruel World War the Second Mama, stop scaring me Mom, cut it out The way she behaves is not good I'm so afraid Mom, what's happening to you Insanity bout World War the Second took her sanity No, we must live No, we must live It means that now she's a widow I feel so scared She grabs me and runs to the window It is so weird Does she want to kill both of us now I don't believe We must overcome this pain somehow But we must live Now it is all so clear to me And I don't blame her any longer I know you can't think, you can't see When your insanity grows stronger Now what have you done You've killed your own son She must be insane For father's been slain Once again he plays the piano Down in the ground floor And we stand by him What a lovely sound It lasts forevermore What a tragedy What a misery It took away all we had Cruel World War the Second War of the Black and the Red Cruel World War the Second
