Pays the price, works the seasons through
Frozen days, he thinks of you
Cold as ice but he burns for you

Mother Russia, can't you hear him too?

Mother's son, freedom's overdue

Lonely man, he thinks of you
He isn't done, only lives for you
Mother Russia, can't you hear him too?


Punished for his written thoughts
Starving for his fame

Working blindly, building blocks
Number for a name, his blood flows frozen to the snow


Red blood, white snow
He knows frozen rivers won't flow
So cold, so true

Mother Russia--he cries for you

Ooh ooh

Bah dah dah dah

Punished for his written thoughts

Starving for his fame
Working blindly, building blocks
Number for a name his blood flows frozen to the snow


Red blood, white snow
He knows frozen rivers won't flow

So cold, so true
Mother Russia--he cries for you
