No Regrets 05:39
What you want to display is completely your choice No one will hear you if you don't raise your voice You can hide, you can walk away from the truth You can never express what you really want to It's up to you Once I was just like you always hiding my face Once I thought to be true was to leave in disgrace Maybe I will regret ever showing my teeth But I'm eager to find what lies beneath you, so Honesty and no regrets Honesty and no regrets Honesty and patience I was lost I was lost but now I am found I was weak, never standing my ground I was tired of tolerating their lies Truth is cruel to anyone who denies it If you're brave and kind Honesty and no regrets All that's lost you'll find Honesty and no regrets

I can not stop thinking About life and its end Our time is not eternal Oh should we be afraid? I think 'bout what I did before And what I will and what I'm yet to know about Who will help me to retain the style? And whom will I with a word, or a deed, or a smile? Now soon is going to be the past Let's make it be something special Our time is precious, it won't last For you, for me, forever I think 'bout how we all are related And not so free in choices that we make Life offers satellites that we except through years Come closer let me chase away your fears (Fears) Now soon is going to be the past Let's make it be something special Our time is precious, it won't last For you, for me, forever I hardly say that I have no regrets But would I sing here and now if I didn't make all those mistakes? I try to be still I try to be honest with you I try to forgive And not to remember the worst things you do I try to move on I try to rush out of any disguise Keep my thoughts pure and kind Just like the sun when it's ready to rise

I believe in old days When a fire in our eyes blazed Minds and souls of good taste We were born to give not to waste I believe in old days I believe in love not in hate I believe we have fate We live not to waste Not to waste Is that a glut or indolence That is depriving us of good taste Is that a pride or lack thereof That is depriving us of good form Is that a glut or indolence That is depriving us of good taste Is that a pride or lack thereof That is depriving us of good form Ha-ah-ah Ha-ah-ah-ah Hoo-ooh hoo-ooh Ooh ooh Ooh hoo-ooh hoo-ooh Ooh hoo-ooh hoo-ooh Ooh hoo hoo-ooh ooh Ha ha-ah-ah ha-ah ah uh Ha ha-ah-ah ha-ah ah uh Honor regrets For they make you try your best Honor regrets For they make you try your best Honor regrets But don't let them get in your head Honor regrets But don't let them get in your head Honor regrets But don't let them get in your head Honor regrets But don't let them get in your head Honor regrets But don't let them get in your head Honor regrets But don't let them get in your head In your head In your head

I'm allergic to selfish but i'll survive with no hesitation Personal well-being instead of towns and nations If there's ever to be peace it should come from hearts of people I'm allergic to selfish but i swim in the ocean of equals It always comes with a price i have this weird sensation Every day people die, ends come to towns and nations Waste of a faith, loyalty and sincerity of intentions There's in a chest empty space of disastrous dimensions I'm allergic to selfish as well as i am to pollen My emotions extended the limits that we don't know yet I'm a hater, a traitor, whoever you like to name me I'm a desperate mater defending my little family Like when rain hits the ground Everything ends Everything sounds Like smiles of friends Like the eyes of the darling Beloved ones Everything sounds All goes into the ground Ground Like a heart of the truth everything can sound worse or better Like a moment of youth passing by you can never tell when I'm not well organized, not enough responsible person I'd sit and wait in disguise but nobody takes my burden I'm not well organized, not enough responsible person I'd sit and wait in disguise but nobody takes my burden

We never know Who's gonna die How and when We all gotta pray Nothing to say

We're all just pawns in the game Somebody's game Royal game Dishonourable game The game of the money, the power, the blood Noble desire of a generous heart Will turn to ashes, mould and mud Who's making rebellions? The Devil or God? Sleeping on thrones Searching for golds Never off watching In the valley of bones Sleeping on thrones Searching for golds Never off watching In the valley of bones Is that really what you want for your future? Is that really what you want for your future? You hate the world and believe me it's mutual You hate the world and believe me it's mutual Pawns in the game, we're all just pawns in the game Missing your aim and never playing again Pawns in the game, we're all just pawns in the game Missing your aim and never playing again Let's celebrate, your enemy's failed Kings are on thrones and the pain is all yours Off holy wars, young blooded foals Granted with chains of gold and despair Take it away Take it away Take it away Take it away Away Away Away Away Away Away

Away Away We never know who's gonna die How and when We all gotta pray Do you have anything to say Before it's too late Before we forget our lives? Kiss me before we go Desperately and slow Kiss me before we're gone Kiss me before we're blown Kiss me before we go Desperately and slow Kiss me before we're gone Kiss me before we're blown

My heart is open wide No fear left inside Nothing distracts my mind Breathing in the warmth of the night Floating into the light Relief, no need to fight Life is the gift of God We should've been trying harder We'll meet in the afterlife We'll meet in the afterlife We'll meet in the afterlife We'll meet in the afterlife We'll meet in the afterlife (We'll meet in the afterlife) We'll meet in the afterlife (We'll meet in the afterlife) With you (We'll meet in the afterlife) (We'll meet in the afterlife) With you (Oh oh oh-oh oh oh) We'll meet in the afterlife We'll meet in the afterlife Oh-oh Oh-oh oh-oh oh Oh-oh oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh Oh-oh oh-oh oh Oh-oh oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh Oh-oh oh-oh oh Oh-oh oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh Oh-oh oh-oh oh Oh-oh oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh

about

Born to Live is the first full-length studio album by Russian art-rock/indie band Red Red Rose. Different in mood and character, these songs evoke thoughts about choice and destiny, telling a story of growing up, searching for and eventually finding one's place in the world. The band expands its genre and emotional palette, inspired by the legacy of art rock and baroque pop: monumental guitars intertwine with delicate piano and angelic choirs while rhythm section expertly masters jazzy beats, neat marches and lacy waltzes.
