• Long Story Short

In a fortress tall
On the edge of the world
Where shadows chase defenceless souls
In heavy chains
Locked in his cell
An innocent martyr counting his days

The poor old jailed
He's almost dead
Still his beliefs left unchanged

"I want the very notion of hetman to disappear
Let alone appoint anyone to the post..."

He cannot see
Got no right to speak
Can't pray for death for he's to weak

The cunning plot has been put to use
The seeds of rebellion have rotten
Erase every trace of our existence
No longer do you need us alive

Your life's a privilege you've been given
Can you afford to lose what we have taken from you?

Torture the scapegoat and you will see the empire
Thrive on the suffering you've brought here

Don't like to be a slave?
Well, fine, you're a free man now
Can't make it on your own
Shut up and put your chains back on!

Nothing has changed
It all's the same
And you're the one to blame
Go tear the strings
They pull you with
To find them wrapped around your neck

Turn the page.
Forget my face, I'm in the past
But you stay here.
Scared, frustrated and so depressed

Follow this path
And let it be done again and again

Now you're just another face in the crowd
Robbed of your last chance to survive

“Ukraine is an extremely rich land, but the empire has put it to very little use, owing to its autonomy.”
