August 1946 They couldn’t make us admit Let them put an end to this misery
Used to be a national hero, they believed I could turn the tide Used to be considered the only hope there is left I couldn’t trust my homeland, forced to turn my back on my past Couldn’t stand the red plague, my country in agony
Spat on, humiliated, trialled as shameful traitors Truth is we were the ones Mother Russia has abandoned Caught in a crossfire, distrusted or condemned A constant fear of having to fight our brothers to death
Retreat, surrender War is over, tables have turned Seeking a way out Running west for a safe haven
Miraculously ran into (there can be no safe haven) The right enemy, oh tears of joy (for us there’s no peace or future in sight)
(Remorseless) Seems we have no friends left in this world (Betrayal) No hope left, terrifying future in sight (Guilt and shame) My men sent to starve with wife and kids (Endurance) Even under torture we shall stay strong
True to ourselves, too honest to survive At least we know what killed us The world should prepare for what’s comingTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
