Omerta

Vatra · Other Songs - Vatra

Kad nas podijeli
zid od tisine
ne okrecem glavu
da ti ne sretnem pogled

Tvoje su suze bojevni metci
pogadjas tocno
obaras s nogu
bodljikavom zicom

Zasili smo usta
na rijeci isprike
rezu i bodu
bodljikavom zicom

Zasili smo usta
ko' se povuce
nek' nastrada prvi

Kad se ukopamo
u rovove ega
nema predaje
nema provlacenja

Ostat' cemo tako
dok nam ne utrnu ruke
umjesto srca
dok ne popucaju zubi

Zasivenih usta
slusam te dises
predaj se, predaj se

Zasivenih usta
slusam te dises
predaj se, bar
jednu rijec mi reci

Omerta
medju nama na snazi

Kad nas podijeli
zid od tisine
ne okrecem glavu
da ti ne sretnem pogled

Tvoje su suze
otrovne strijele
pogadjas tocno u mene

Zasivenih usta
slusam te dises
ma predaj se, predaj se
