PRECHORUS: The tsarina felt what was coming - a vision that darkened her soul. The tsar was given a warning. Intrigues so darkened and cold.

PRECHORUS: The tsarina felt what was coming - a vision that darkened her soul. The tsar was given a warning. Intrigues so darkened and cold.
CHORUS (2x): Destiny called. The empire fell. The two-headed eagle that died. Bullets of hate were erasing their lifes. No prayer and nobody cried.
