When I was a boy
I heard the story of a man
Who defied a tyrant's henchmen
In a far-away land
He was visiting his brother
Fellow partisan in war
Occupation's final days
Summer 1944
The hospital was raided
On the spot, they all were captured
March them off to certain death
To satiate sadistic rapture
The healthy and the wounded
Everyone was persecuted
What's the value of their lives?
They will soon be executed
Backs against the wall
Guns against their heads
Intent to kill them all
How will he get out of this?
A grim trek awaits
Foes with no remorse
Heart inside his throat
No time for fear
The exodus began
As an ice-cold killing loomed
Silent and despondent
Moments from their final doom
But there was a brave man
Who could act under the gun
He knew to think outside the box
So he wouldn't find himself in one
He called to the commander
And, entreating him to yield,
Said that if they stayed the course
They would walk into a minefield
Skeptical, but cautious
The officer complied
Device for the sacrifice
Not knowing that he lied
Daring could save him yet
Keeping a level head
Death is still a risk
F*ck it all, and roll the dice
Slowly escape their sight
Gearing up for flight
Running for his life
No time for fear
Go, run fast, run far
My demise will have to wait
Bow my head to no one
I will not be broken
At all, and I will live
Take control of my own fate
I have to survive
You missed your chance to kill me
Blast off
Blast off
Blast off
Blast off
And run for your life
Superhuman adrenaline boost
Fuels the man with nothing to lose
His audacity became his shield
Exhausted, he collapsed in a watermelon field
While he hid, he caught his breath
And then he spotted what had to be his death
The German troops heard his surrendering cries
But they soon confessed that they were Polish spies!
Back against the wall
Gun against his head
Life-saving gall
Bravely he got out of it
His strength never failed
Courage unassailed
Lived to tell the tale
No time for fear
Go, run fast, run far
My demise will have to wait
Bow my head to no one
I will not be broken
At all, and I will live
Take control of my own fate
I have to survive
You missed your chance to kill me
Blast off
Blast off
Blast off
Blast off
And run for your life
