Warbreed - Blood-Red Snow lyrics

rate me

This is the tale of the dormant Finland<br />

About it's people and it's luck of the draw<br />

This is the tale of the conquering Russia<br />

And it's victorious dead that never returned<br />

<br />

The Reds began their crushing crusade<br />

Towards the land where Väinämöinen once lived<br />

The land of snowy plains and endless nights<br />

Of a thousand lakes and seven hundred years of enslavement... <br />

<br />

Slumber, chains and bloodstained<br />

Swords, steels that clashed in the deafening silence<br />

<br />

The burning rain fell down on the resistance<br />

How to endure the weight of the world?<br />

This was another kind of war in two fronts<br />

There's the human foe and the ruthless cold<br />

<br />

And so this land took the form of a big pool<br />

Where pride got steeped as many lives were lost<br />

Who were the heroes, who were the bad guys?<br />

Where was now the place they used to call home?<br />

<br />

[Viktoriya Nikolaevna Shestakova ]<br />

Íàøè îòöû ïîêèíóëè ñâîè äîìà äëÿ òîãî, ÷òîáû ñïàñòè ñâîþ ÷åñòü è áîðîòüñÿ çà Ìàòü ìàòåðåé<br />

<br />

[Markku Hamalainen]<br />

... he lähettivät muukalaisia meidän Karjalaamme ja isänmaatamme loukattiin.<br />

<br />

Total silence, tearful... mournful... <br />

Stillness, not even a sound in the blood-red battlefield<br />

<br />

[Chorus:]<br />

Over this snow<br />

Snow that once was white<br />

Lie the heroes<br />

The heroes from both sides<br />

<br />

The red covers all<br />

All we have ever known<br />

Such a grim sight<br />

A sight so hard to describe<br />

Blood-red snow.<br />

<br />

And so this tragic tale came to an end<br />

When peace was signed once blood had been spilled<br />

Who did survive? Who did win?<br />

If both of their banners were red in the end?<br />

<br />

The Finns gave up their sacrosanct land<br />

The Russians got what they had yearned for so long<br />

But in the end, what did they all get for themselves?<br />

Nothing but a handful of snow<br />

<br />

Bloodstained, cold and fragile<br />

Snow, the very same snow that covered their bones<br />

<br />

[Repeat chorus]
