Portvain - Закат империи
текст песни

I died neither in the fields nor in the trenches and ditches
Neither in dangerous swamps, nor in dense forests
Neither in the faceless desert, nor in the predatory taiga
I died and no one remembers where
I died neither under fire nor from a stray bullet
Neither during the storming of palaces, nor in the corner of a gateway
Not in a drunken showdown, against a brick wall
I died by order of the country
There's a river there made of grass that will weave a wreath for me
No one will come to my funeral there
Having a brain there threatens with a lobotomy
I died in front of Russia
The eternal flame illuminates the graves
Here on earth that has ruined us
Here we shed blood in a harsh struggle
Giving it all, leaving not a drop for myself
We, blind and dumb, were resurrected for a moment
How to show a trophy to the living generation
Like a monument to unbroken faith
I died at the end of the empire
I will wash the blood from your hands
I'll take the black shame out of my heart
I'll cover it with a new name
The pain of defeat and resentment
I will wash the blood from your hands
I'll take the black shame out of my heart
I'll cover it with a new name
The pain of defeat and resentment
The eternal flame illuminates the graves
Here on earth that has ruined us
Here we shed blood in a harsh struggle
Giving it all, leaving not a drop for myself
We, blind and dumb, were resurrected for a moment
How to show a trophy to the living generation
Like a monument to unbroken faith
I died at the end of the empire
