RING OF FIRE LYRICS

1. Mother Russia

Vladimir greater, and Yaroslav wiser
And Rurik's Varangian Guard
Ivan The Great, The Grand Duchy of Moscow
The Romanov Empire's start

Voices from the past
Never would surrender
I hear them calling
Mother Russia!
Mother Russia!

War with the Mongols, Germanic crusaders
the Swedes, and the Golden Horde
Tales of the Cossacks, like warrior pirates
Exploring and searching for more

Voices from the past
Never would surrender
I hear them calling
Mother Russia!
Mother Russia!

A legacy greater than ever in history
Nothing would be the same
Imperial emperors, war after war
Confusion and so much pain

Voices from the past
Never would surrender
I hear them calling
Mother Russia!
Mother Russia!

2. They're Calling Your Name

In the city from darkened windows
They look out on the night
Shaking from cold and fright
They're hanging on for their life
You don't remember and you don't care
Screaming voices
Ghosts out there
Crying, dying
Calling out your name

If anyone ever had a reason
If anyone had a right
Choices to live or die taken away

Take a number and get your share
Screaming voices
Ghosts out there
Crying, dying
Calling out your name

You don't remember and you don't care
Screaming voices
Ghosts out there
Take a number and get your share
Screaming voices
Ghosts out there
All in love, all in war's not fair
Screaming voices
Ghosts out there
Crying, dying
Calling out your name

3. Empire

Empire!
Empire!

Territory and riches
Power and majesty
With heroic ambitions
Proclaiming many victories
Conquering every mountain
And spreading from sea to sea

Greater than any other
Throughout all history
A dying civilization
With dark treachery
Marching into battle
To bring the world to it's knees

Empire!
Empire!

No one cares for the people
No one cares for the lost
Another nation for conquest
Another land that once was
How will it last forever
When nothing ever does?

Empire!
Empire!

We're surrounded
By the empire
Buildings being pounded
By the empire
oh no!
Empire!
Empire!

4. Land Of Frozen Tears

The snowfrakes go silently by
Outside my window
I am wondering why
Nothing changes
We try to survive
But I'm only waiting here
Waiting to die

Is this only a nightmare
Will I wake up to find
Skies that are clear
We're all lost here somewhere
In the land of frozen tears

Feeling empty and cold to the core
It's so impossible to just ignore
Every heart that is broken
Every moment
A lifetime of fear
Every word that is spoken
In the land of frozen tears

Every heart is still broken
Every moment
A lifetime of fear
We're all lost here somewhere
In the land of frozen tears
The end is always near
In the land of frozen tears

5. Firewind

Starts with a spark
That turns into a flame
You can put it out
But it comes back again
Always almost too late
Where the fire still burns
There's no love and no hate
Until justice returns
Now you got the feeling
That will never let you go
Wounded and not healing
Changing everything you know
Now it's time to take a chance
No time for turning back
I know all about the circumstances
It's not the end 'til somebody loses and wins
Here it comes once again

Fire wind
Fire wind
here it comes again
Fire wind

Now the sky is burning
And there's no place left to run
The wheel of fortune turning
What kind of future is to come
Now, I never thought that this could happen
I never thought that this could be
Walls of bayonets around me
To keep me company
Now it's time to take a chance
No time for turning back
I know all about the circumstances
It's not the end 'til somebody loses and wins
Here it comes once again

Fire wind
Fire wind
here it comes again
Fire wind

6. Where Angels Play

Lost in this prison of fear
Knowing that death is so near
We pray for tomorrow
And we try to pretend
Give us our daily bread
But only the lucky get fed
Nothing left for you and me

If I only had wings
I'd fly so far away
Where angels play
There to stay

The days just go on and on
And many are not for long
Still surrounded and we can't break free
How did this end up so bad
Remembering all that we had
Nothing left for you and me

If I only had wings
I'd fly so far away
Where angels play
There to stay

If I only had wings
I'd fly so far away
Away!!!

Where angels play

7. Battle Of Leningrad

The army still surrounds
Suffocating weapons pounds
900 days and nights
We'll never give in
Everyday we'll rise again
In freezing cold and endless night
We will survive
We will survive

Losing homes and families
Hear the children cry
Nowhere safe and warm to hide
And they wonder why
Cut down debris from buildings
Burn it to keep us warm
Better if we were never born

Angels in heaven are tolling the bell
The battle of Leningrad
One million starving souls
Are dying in hell

Oh, oh, oh!
Leningrad!
Leningrad!

Angels in heaven are tolling the bell
The battle of Leningrad
One million starving souls
Are dying in hell

Oh, oh, oh!
Leningrad!
Leningrad!

8. No Way Out

It's not the first time
And it's not the last time
Year after year
Tear after tear
There is no reason
And there is no rhyme

So much confusion
Clouding your mind

Fighting a battle with no hesitation
So much frustration and no patience
It's so unclear
Why we are here
Going in circles and switching direction
Constantly facing rejection
Now there is no doubt
There's no way out

Won't need no bullets
Prisons or guards
When we are gone
They'll carry on
This game of waiting
Few will survive

So much confusion
Clouding your mind

Fighting a battle with no hesitation
So much frustration and no patience
It's so unclear
Why we are here
Going in circles and switching direction
Constantly facing rejection

9. Our World

Here in the dark
With pain in my heart
So lost on my own now
This city is falling apart
It's our world, our world

Now everything's changed
And nothing's the same
I try to hold on
Hold on, hold on
'Til everything's gone

Soon it will end
So much to mend
The streets are deserted
Only spirits attend
This is our world, our world

Now everything's changed
And nothing's the same
I try to hold on
Hold on, hold on
'Til everything's gone

10. Rain

Glittering diamonds in a sky seen through the trees
Pieces to a puzzle of forgotten memoris
Starlight reflections in eyes that don't see
Dreaming of things that will never be

Close my eyes and see the window

Floating in the darkness like agents of the deep
So far beyond the believes that we keep

Close my eyes and see what they see

Rising from the ashes on the wings of fire
My heart keeps burning, feeding my desire

Rain
Is falling down on me again
And nothing will ever be the same
Te only thing left for me is pain
And you're the one to blame

Rain
Is falling down on me again
And nothing will ever be the same
Te only thing left for me is pain
And you're the one to blame
