A cold wind is scattering the snatches of a decadent civilization
Forgotten for a long time, slowly disintegrating with age
An obsolete race on the edge of extinction
Constantly struggling for its survival
Forsaken buildings everywhere, dreadful sight
A few piles of bones here and there, no signs of life
No human is to be found at the surface of Earth
Only a few signs of the long gone glory of humanity remains
Icy silence crystallizes the relics of a life in a neglected state
All hidden underneath the ground
To avoid deadly acid rain
Heaped-up in some cold, narrow cellars
We are now all gathered
Deep beneath the radioactive sun
I can still remember that misty, grey sky
A really strange, rancid smell, was floating into the air
Far away, hazy sounds of falling death too soon to come
Memories of the Great Nuke are stuck in my mind forever
The air has gone toxic since that doomsday
Now we can’t see the daylight any more
Living in caves, digging tunnels, going deeper and deeper
Our only hope is to hide underneath the ground
To prevent our flesh from slowly melting down
An obsolete race on the verge of extinction
Forgotten for a long time, slowly disintegrating with age
All hidden underneath the ground
To avoid deadly acid rain
Heaped-up in some cold, narrow cellars
We are now all gathered
Deep beneath a radioactive sun

Desolate Area
04:07

Deserted land
Thousands of scattered soldiers
Lost in the immensity of uninhabited plains
Hostile steppes
There is nowhere to rest in west of Russia
The only thing we have left is desolate area
A frozen wind is blowing on blazing buildings
Barren land, desolate area
No more
No more villages, no more farms
No more fields, no more factories
We have burnt everything
We have sacrificed everything
Years of hard work reduced to ashes
We have devastated everything
Years of hard work devoured by fire
Thousands of starving soldiers
Lost in the immensity of uninhabited plains
Hostile steppes
Nothing more to see than ice, ash and dust
Nothing more to see than debris, rubble and ruins
Do not let our enemies go any further
Just wait and let them slowly die
Lost in this dust heap

Collective Labor Camps

A lonely shadow lost in a gloomy night
A running ghost surrounded by dilapidated walls
Tasting the bitter taste of his own sweat
Enemies of the people tracked down wherever they go
Hunted like mangy dogs by the almighty NKVD
Every single traitor will be arrested
Sentenced to years of labor in the Gulag camps
Without mercy they gather humans by thousands
Without pity they will torture you ‘till death
They are keeping an eye on all of your moves
They are tracking you down, there's no way to escape
No way to escape
A bunch of worthless slaves
Swimming in their own piss and shit
Hundreds of suffocating prisoners
Carried in the Djourma’s holds
They may never return alive
Starving, chocking, drowning, dying
In their own piss and shit
A lonely shadow lost in a gloomy night
A running ghost surrounded by dilapidated walls
Tasting the bitter taste of his own sweat
Burning feeling inside your legs
Can't you go any further ?
Can't you run any longer ?
Exhausted men digging the earth
Desperately seeking for some gold
In the frozen hell of Kolyma
Crawling in narrow mines
For the glory of their beloved USSR
Without mercy they gather humans by thousands
Without pity they will torture you ‘till death
They are keeping an eye on all of your moves
They are tracking you down
Do not care about the dying workers
Lying on the snow-covered ground
No empathy for the weak
No sympathy for the sick
Do not talk too much
Do not think too much
You have to work as fast as you can
As hard as you can

Transcend

Pungent stench of rotting corpses infested by creeping vermin
Arid plains swept by burning winds
Acid rains all day (and) burning winds
Transcend / Long due / Now we reach it / The end
Roaming a lonesome path under a grey sky
Surrounded by dried-up seas, dilapidated buildings
Dreaming of what was once ours
A long gone prestigious past
Pungent stench of rotting corpses infested by creeping vermin
Arid plains swept by burning winds
Acid rains all day (and) burning winds
Transcend / Long due / Now we reach it / The end
Process
Our compulsive desires
Process
Those overwhelming beauties
Process
Imminent self-destruction
Process
Slaughter and rape
Roaming a lonesome path under a pale grey sky
Surrounded by dried-up seas, dilapidated buildings
Dreaming of what was once ours
A long gone prestigious past
(Original lyrics by Piotr. Покойся с миром !)

Omnipresent Fear
04:08
|
|

Barricaded in makeshift shelters
Buried in snow-covered tombs
A few corpses lying on the ground
Still plenty of them to be found
No one cares ‘bout dead soldiers
Useless bodies don't matter
No one cares ‘bout dead soldiers
Someone may collect them later
They will drown into their own blood
Chaos everywhere on the battlefield
Exhausted troops are slowly crawling
Towards an imminent death
Omnipresent fear
We will not tolerate this any longer
You shall not run away
There is no choice
You must fight for your country
For your honor, for victory
Even if it must costs you life
Your destiny is to rot upon our enemies' lands
Chaos everywhere on the battlefield
Exhausted troops are slowly crawling
Towards an imminent death
Omnipresent fear
I must kill to survive, I must shoot on sight
I will fight or die, fight or die
They will drown
No one cares ‘bout dead soldiers
Useless bodies don't matter
No one cares ‘bout dead soldiers
Someone may collect them later

Step By Step

Prepare for our new weapon
Ideological subversion
Brace yourselves for we have won
An invisible invasion
Warp your view of reality
Skewed sense of morality
A new and improved ideology
Appealing promises of equality
Always avoiding wrong thinking
Never-ending virtue signalling
The fear of becoming an outcast
To be accepted at last
Constant, relentless propaganda
You must have faith in mass media
We have become your true saviors
Your benevolent dictators
No compromise, radicalize
No more peaceful solutions
Only endless confrontations
You will avoid discussions
No need for resolutions
Step by step, we disrupt
Step by step we corrupt
Step by step, we alter
Step by step we conquer
Have pity for those criminals
They will help us sneaking our own
Be sure that we will bring you down
This will be your ultimate fall
Now invading your country
No need for our glorious army
It is over as you can see
Long live the almighty Party
