August morning or the twilight of the damned I awoke I don't remember who I am Only fire is in my lungs And the mournful premonition
Sky is veiled by the green lacerated shroud Trees are naked, I'm enveloped in weird cloud Scraps of memory return I still have some work undone
All my brothers have been slain I must battle instead of them
Besieged fortress and we hardly held defense They assaulted But hadn't got a single chance And to force our troops to bow they inflicted treacherous blow
Where their bullets and the shells were powerless There succeeded the green fog, the toxic gas But they can't just pass us by One of hundred has survived
Seems its time for me to die But my rifle is still beside I can't fire, I'm almost blind Anyway I still can fight In place of my brothers who fell
I am rising to my feet I am gazing to the mist Not a man but a furious beast Wanna face our enemies So eager to send them to hell
When I've done my brother's work We will join beyond this world
Ranks of shadows horned helmets with frog eyes are approaching I hate the creatures of this guise I shall have to reap them down And my bayonet is thirsty
Stopping this horde Is the only way to earn the rest And my award is bloody foam upon my chest Glorious work fell to my share That's the reason why I'm still here
Brothers, I won't let you down Brothers, you will be avenged I will make these cowards groan I will drown them in my rage They only have thousand or two
We haven't ordered to retreat Death can wait for me for an hour Though my lungs are harshly bleed But the fortress will be ours In honor of Russia and you
When I've done our common work We will join beyond this world
August morning Wind has dispelled the mist I can hear it Whispers me that I'm dismissed I am free now I am going to you my brothers
