Once was the Red Empire
Vast and tall, Mighty Mishka
Land of equality for ones, Gulag camps for millions
Undoubtedly powerful, giant killing machine
Freedom dreams were treacherous for sleep talkers
Organized terror, kingdom of fear
Revelations by Soljenitsyn, 1973
Russia dreamed of Trotsky
Evil Stalin seized control for decades
Nice guy, Jack of all Trades
He rebuilt the vast country
With the bones of forced workers
Harvester of fears and disillusions
Wise men, lights of the first hours
Disappeared, flushed by Little People’s Father
Universal Sad Secret Republic
Great display of misery
Unidirectional Silly Slayer’s Reunion
Suffered so much, smiles deleted
Grim Reaper of Liberty
Race for space, race for powers
For the glory of Lenin’s truth
Whatever the cost, we continue
Faster, stronger, must go farther
Ecological nightmare, human, social disaster
Particles by millions, killing the hours
Kolyma, Chernobyl,
Making the meal of memory.
Cutting edge technology of yore now biohazard
We know you tried very hard
Unknown surprises, like the Box of Pandora
Only the sky have seen the wastes of this race
I have seen children with fins
Cancer Mutants from this disaster
I have seen babies with a third eye
The one who’ll judge you
Also the one by the nations around you
We defeated the fascists
By the way, expanding our web of power
Tentacles of terror spreading through the world
Our Vietcong were the Afghans
Poor men, only faith as a weapon
Chemical test bed, you poisoned the wells
Red hammer crucifying Mohammed
Fueled the rise of Bush’s rock band
Crazy Bin Laden and the Holy Taliban
