ISKIV - Неизвестный солдат
текст песни

Beside the granite slab,
Silence stands still;
And reflected within the eyes
Is the Eternal Flame.
It guards a life once lived—
Dreams, and a final farewell—
As a hand rests upon the cold granite stone.

Unknown Soldier,
Your name lives on in legends;
Your valor and pain
Reside in the silence of the squares.
You do not merely lie
Upon these granite steps;
You live on in millions of hearts and flames.

Perhaps you thought of your mother,
Of home, or of the sky,
As you marched toward your final, decisive battle.
Like an unfinished book,
Like a loaf of bread left untouched,
You remained behind on a field overgrown with grass.

Unknown Soldier,
Your name lives on in legends;
Your valor and pain
Reside in the silence of the squares.
You do not merely lie
Upon these granite steps;
You live on in millions of hearts and flames.

The years fly by,
Succeeding one another,
Yet your descendants still bring you flowers in silence—
For it was you who shielded us
From a terrible, evil scourge:
You saved the entire country, the whole wide world.

Unknown Soldier,
Your name lives on in legends;
Your valor and pain
Reside in the silence of the squares.
You do not merely lie
Upon these granite steps;
You live on in millions of hearts and flames.

Unknown Soldier,
Your name lives on in legends;
You live on in millions of hearts and flames.
