Running Wild Tsar (Nikolai II)

Текст песни "Running Wild — Tsar (Nikolai II)"

Tsar
Музыка: Rolf Kasparek
Текст: Rolf Kasparek

At the day of his coronation
he sank down in deepest dispair.
Hundreds of russians were dying
by rapture, the sun and its glare.

After several years of waiting
he came - the heir to the throne.
Their son was born as a bleeder.
His parents so sad and alone.

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:
Destiny called. The empire fell.
The two-headed eagle that died.
Bullets of hate were erasing their lifes.
No prayer and nobody cried.

. (SOLO: Rolf)

In their darkest hour the staretz appeared.
He saved Aleksej from death.
Rasputins' power, a dissolate life
sentenced to take his last breath.

The world was on war, drowning in flames.
Gasbombs, horror and death.

. (SOLO: Thilo)

The reds brought on revolution.
He decided to take his discharge.
But they placed him under detention.
The red star - its idols should march.
The Romanows took up their cross.
The desaster was to foresee.
On the 16th July 1918
they were slaughtered - a whole dynasty.

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.
