Besovshchina

[Verse 1]

We stood with them against the horde,

we shared the bread and wine,

they knelt beside us at our shrines

and swore to hold the line.

[Pre-Chorus]

Their faith is gone,

their oath forgot,

they sold the land,

and now they plot.

[Chorus]

They speak our words, they share our past,

they smile the way we do,

but underneath the words, a blade,

and we can't tell who's who.

So Svyatograd will hold its own

against the world outside,

for anyone who sounds like us

could hide a knife inside.

[Verse 2]

But when the horde was at the wall,

they turned their swords around,

and every line they swore to hold

was trampled in the ground.

[Pre-Chorus]

Their faith is gone,

their oath forgot,

they sold the land,

and now they plot.

[Chorus]

They speak our words, they share our past,

they smile the way we do,

but underneath the words, a blade,

and we can't tell who's who.

So Svyatograd will hold its own

against the world outside,

for anyone who sounds like us

could hide a knife inside.

[Verse 3]

They broke the seal upon the gate

and let the beast walk through,

and called us brother in the smoke

the way they used to do.

[Bridge]

We know their names, we sang their songs,

we fought and bled as one,

and now there's no one we can trust,

not one of us, not one.

[Chorus]

They speak our words, they share our past,

they smile the way we do,

but underneath the words, a blade,

and we can't tell who's who.

So Svyatograd will hold its own

against the world outside,

for anyone who sounds like us

could hide a knife inside.

[Outro]

So bar the gate and man the wall,

and trust no voice you know,

for Svyatograd will stand alone,

and every friend a foe.
