Forget Me if You Can (From Swedish!Chess)

[molokovcocktail]

Once there was a time
A time of ecstasy for us who could read
The words of Lenin
As a god descended from Heaven
He came to a tormented earth
And every question got a clear answer
Absolute logic
The truth was obvious
But sacrifices are required for something that grand
And I have sacrificed

I caught a glimpse of her cheek when the train left
During the rest of my life I never saw her
Never again
A sad glance, a silent farewell
Her eyes said to me: "You and I
It was us, but you betrayed me today
You, my man
Forget me if you can"

Time went by
I became a stranger to myself
Changed more than he could understand
More a principle, yes a fixed idea
Than a man of flesh and blood
So in the red jaws of the revolution
Was also I grinded
Into a new kind of imprisonment
Natasha became a dream I had dreamt
But never forgotten
