(Intro)
Space and countless paths have been gifted to people,
Each of us is God’s creation, meant for good deeds,
To know the foundations of the universe and love.
Our Earth is a Paradise of mirror-clear waters, there are forests, mountains, and fields...
(Verse 1)
But there are those who, like ghouls, taste the blood of innocent children...
Launching rockets into the cradle where an infant sleeps quietly...
A terrible glitch in the system, an incredibly damaged code!
(Verse 2)
And having received hands, the greatest creation for action, in a world of violins and scripts,
It drags the hammer and sickle across half the world,
Away from home; evil from birth, thirsty for murder, it feeds on blood!
People, this is true evil-oo-oo!
(Verse 3)
Gifted with the ability to weave love and chords,
I jump into this surrealism, even though I could have been building a life!
But if not us, then these brutalized hordes will kill us all!
Our world has broken again...
From now on, Ukrainians are the new engineers of existence!
(Pre-Chorus)
Above the ruins of cities, the sun rises,
The world allows the convinced to take what is theirs.
The citadel is in flames, and we are in ranks with swords,
Because the fire of the defenders does not burn!
The fire does not burn! The fire does not burn-ee-ee!
(Chorus)
Behind the black embankments!
The citadel is in flames, and we,
Under the celestial crowns,
Stand in battalions!
(Verse 4)
The steel of the people is where the spirit is stronger than iron ore,
In the cities, cobblestones and animal filth.
If you are a ton of garbage, wealth will not enrich you.
We are guardians protecting this world from darkness... so that bright and warm sunrises may come!
Brave and stubborn, we do not fear death!
(Chorus)
Behind the black embankments!
The citadel is in flames, and we,
Under the celestial crowns,
Stand in battalions!
(Bridge)
It is terrifying if once again both banks of the Motherland are torn apart!
Heroic deeds erased, children colonized!
Better to go into battle in a pack of wolves,
Than in a herd of cowards and fools!
(Chorus)
Behind the black embankments!
The citadel is in flames, and we,
Under the celestial crowns,
Stand in battalions!
(Outro)
Dispossessed slaves dive into the river currents on the border with Europe,
We emerge from lava and smoke in a bloody struggle!
From underground mines, demonic forces crawl incessantly!
With the bodies of the best, we patch the crack in the Earth...
(Chorus)
Behind the black embankments!
The citadel is in flames, and we,
Under the celestial crowns,
Stand in battalions!
