Plant the Sunflower Seeds
Nothing is true and everything is possible...
Nothing is true
And everything is possible
In the land
Of Mother Russia.
Iron cast
Soviet shadow
Lingering, hungover with
Golden sickness
And their diggers.
Governmental gangsters
In armoured suits,
Clinging to a past
Save it for the ballet.
Twirls of tragedy
Bonfires and carols
Honour and morale
Victories gained,
Lives lost,
Somber is the sovereign
Drenched in genocide.
Mothers should bridge continents
And yet the lines are drawn
With the gate the Father keeps
Separating West from East.
Twisted lies and
Cruel tricks
A horror - a terror
Why did it have to come to this?
How can you sleep, Mr Putin?
Does it keep you awake?
Knowing that we
Plant the sunflower seeds
They will still grow in hellfire.
Burning bridges light the way
As we stand in solidarity
With Ukraine.
