Mother Russia

Forgotten call
What shadow lie ahead
Ringing bells
Why am I in tears?

Breath of the past
Summon heroes from the tales,
That guard us
From dark and fear

Deep inside
We still believe in wonder
But the world around
Turns our hearths to stone

Words of lies
Are bringing us to madness
How long
Can it go on?

People's souls are asleep
Time to survive
There's no time to weep
For what's left behind
We have to be strong,
Shake off dirt and lies
Or how could you look
Into your own children's eyes?

Mother, mother, mother Russia!
I see you bleeding, but sleeping – why?
Mother, mother, mother Russia!
Has your greatness left behind?
Mother, mother, mother Russia!
Your children have confused and loosed control!
Mother, mother, mother Russia!
You have been abused and sold!
Mother, mother, mother Russia!
Hold on!

Thru the dark,
Against the changing winds,
Despite the fate,
Remember, who we are!

Ringing bells
Bring some hope to me
And I keep the faith
In my hearth!

People's souls are asleep
Time to survive
There's no time to weep
For what's left behind
We have to be strong,
Shake off dirt and lies
Or how could you look
Into your own children's eyes?

Mother, mother, mother Russia!
I see you bleeding, but sleeping – why?
Mother, mother, mother Russia!
Has your greatness left behind?
Mother, mother, mother Russia!
Your children have confused and loosed control!
Mother, mother, mother Russia!
You have been abused and sold!
Mother, mother, mother Russia!
Hold on!

People's souls are asleep
Time to survive
There's no time to weep
For what's left behind
We have to be strong,
Shake off dirt and lies
Or how could you look
Into your own children's eyes?

Mother, mother, mother Russia!
I see you bleeding, but sleeping – why?
Mother, mother, mother Russia!
Has your greatness left behind?
Mother, mother, mother Russia!
Your children have confused and loosed control!
Mother, mother, mother Russia!
You have been abused and sold!
Mother, mother, mother Russia!
Mother, mother, mother Russia!
My mother, Russia!..
