"The Bride of the Executioner" [2000]

Song: Knyazev (text), Gorsheniov (music, lead vocals)

Trying to hide his grief, the executioner frowned angrily, but the tavern-keeper understood that the executioner's heart was broken:

- I have never seen you like that, fellow. What happened? Tell me! I swear, only devil could offend you! -

- I believed in justice, but now there is no place for it in me! A friend of my childhood is dead! The bride of the executioner! -

She was hiding from me her terrible torments. The crowd around screamed - they wanted entertainment.

- I believed in justice, but now there is no place for it in me! A friend of my childhood is dead! The bride of the executioner! -

Life is a game with death! Where the holiness is the sin! I beat her with a whip, although I thought she was the best!

- I believed in justice, but now there is no place for it in me! A friend of my childhood is dead! The bride of the executioner! -

The word "witch" caused anger and cruelty in people! In fire she burned, and her soul flew to the abyss...

- I believed in justice, but now there is no place for it in me! A friend of my childhood is dead! The bride of the executioner!

Possible interpretation: Probably, one of the best songs about friendship.
