Nation by nation
Like measles on the map
Sprouting in all directions

From Mother Russia's lap
The dream of independence
Seeking identify

As the old orders crumble
But you must learn to see


Greatness! Raise the flag
Show your kids now proud it flies
This, my son, is God's own country

For its honour you must die

We are the chosen ones

This blood and soil is sacred
We above the rest


Nation over nation: myth of supremacy
People over people: chauvinist bigotry
Nation over nation: calls for hate, envy and war

Chaos and damnation: nation over nation

Power is the key

That's behind the rhetoric
Patriotic anesthetic
Blinded crowds fall for the trick


Parades and uniforms
Masking internal crisis

Afterming foreign threats

Nation over nation: myth of supremacy

People over people: chauvinist bigotry
Nation over nation: calls for hate, envy and war
Chaos and damnation: nation over nation


Ethnic manipulation
The curse of racial pride

Abuse by powermongers
Commiting genocide


"Nation" is a scheme
giving power to elites
ideology concealing

exploitation and deceit

We are the chosen ones

This blood and soil is sacred
We above the rest


Nation over nation: myth of supremacy
People over people: chauvinist bigotry
Nation over nation: calls for hate, envy and war

Chaos and damnation: nation over nation
