Roads to Moscow Lyrics by Дмитрий Селиванов (Dmitry Selivanov)

Акустика (Acoustic)

1987

[Куплет 1]
\nThey crossed over the border the hour before dawn
\nMoving in lines through the day
\nMost of our planes were destroyed on the ground where they lay
\nWaiting for orders we held in the wood
\nWord from the front never came
\nBy evening the sound of the gunfire was miles away
\n
\n[Предприпев]
\nAh, softly we move through the shadows, slip away through the trees
\nCrossing their lines in the mist in the fields on our hands and our knees
\n
\n[Припев]
\nAnd all that i ever
\nWas able to see
\nThe fire in the air, glowing red
\nSilhouetting the smoke on the breeze
\n
\n[Куплет 2]
\nAll summer they drove us back through the Ukraine
\nSmolensk and Viasma soon fell
\nBy Autumn we stood with our backs to the town of Orel
\nCloser and closer to Moscow they come
\nRiding the wind like a bell
\nGeneral Guderian stands at the crest of the hill
\n
\n[Предприпев]
\nWinter brought with it the rains, oceans of mud filled the roads
\nGluing the tracks of their tanks to the ground, while the skies filled with snow
\n
\n[Припев]
\nAnd all that I ever
\nWas able to see
\nThe fire in the air, glowing red
\nSilhouetting the snow on the breeze
\n
\n[Куплет 3]
\nIn the footsteps of Napoleon, the shadow figures stagger through the winter
\nFalling back before the gates of Moscow, standing in the wings like an avenger
\nAnd far away behind their lines, the partisans are stirring in the forest
\nComing unexpectedly upon their outposts, growing like a promise
\nYou'll never know, you'll never know, which way to turn, which way to look you'll never see us
\nAs we steal into the blackness of the night you'll never know, you'll never hear us
\n
\n[Бридж]
\nAnd evening sings in a voice of amber, the dawn is surely coming
\nThe morning road leads to Stalingrad, and the sky is softly humming
\n
\n[Куплет 4]
\nTwo broken tigers on fire in the night
\nFlicker their souls to the wind
\nWe wait in the lines for the final approach to begin
\nIt's been almost four years that I've carried a gun
\nAt home, it will almost be spring
\nThe flames of the tigers are lighting the road to Berlin
\n
\n[Предприпев]
\nAh, quickly we move through the ruins that bow to the ground
\nThe old men and children they send out to face us, they can't slow us down
\n
\n[Припев]
\nAnd all that I ever
\nWas able to see
\nThe eyes of the city are opening
\nNow it's the end of a dream
\n
\n[Куплет 5]
\nI'm coming home, I'm coming home , now you can taste it in the wind the war is over
\nAnd I listen to the clicking of the train wheels as we roll across the border
\nAnd now they ask about the time that I was caught behind their lines and taken prisoner
\nThey only held me for a day, a lucky break I say
\nThey turn and listen closer
\nI'll never know, I'll never know, why I was taken...\n\n
