(Intro – Narrator's Voice)
They came in the night, hands bound, eyes blind,
No judgment, no trial – only death in the cold wind.
In the shadow of history, an echo that remains,
Katyn – a name that cries out for truth.
---
(Hook)
Forgotten? No, never, the wounds are deep,
Katyn – a cry the earth still loves.
Voices in the forest calling for justice,
Spilled blood drips from ancient steps.
---
(Verse 1)
Spring '40, but no blossoming in the forest,
Only guns, only screams, only silence so cold.
Thousands of souls, captured, betrayed,
Riddled with bullets, buried in graves.
Officers, doctors, teachers, and more,
Vanished in the darkness, no farewell, nothing more.
One stroke of the pen, Stalin's order,
And a thousand families shatter so quickly.
---
(Pre-Hook)
But truth doesn't die, even if it falls.
The shadows of Katyn scream into this world!
---
(Hook)
Forgotten? No, never, the wounds are deep.
Katyn – a cry the earth still loves.
Voices in the forest calling for justice.
Spilled blood drips from ancient steps.
---
(Verse 2)
Decades passed, but lies remained.
The perpetrators concealed, truth driven.
But graves speak, bones tell,
The bullets prove who caused them torment.
In 1989, the veil finally fell.
Truth illuminates, like burning fire.
But pain doesn't fade, it remains in time,
A memorial for victims, for justice.
---
(Bridge – Spoken Word)
Remember when the wind blows through the trees,
Remember when the earth sees history.
Katyn is more than a place on the map,
Katyn is truth – deeply anchored within us.
---
(Hook – Outro)
Forgotten? No, never, the wounds are deep,
Katyn – a cry the earth still loves.
Voices in the forest calling for justice,
Spilled blood drips from ancient steps.
(Outro – Softly fading voices)
Never forget… never forget… never forget…
