lyrics

Concerned by the growth of power in the east,
We looked deeper into its cause.
Rumours had appeared of a prodigal youth
Which gave both of us pause.

She had seized control of the Soviet arms,
A race to be first to command humankind.
The wounds of the wars had been gradually curtailed,
The priority now to resist decline.
The world was aghast at the crimes they had seen,
An outcry of rebukes was heard all around.
The famines she'd caused led to millions of deaths,
Her reputation becoming feared and renowned.

We put into place measures of our own
To counter the threat that she presented.
A leader to be our mouthpiece
And build a state to last a thousand years.
The threat of war beckoned loudly
So we built up our forces and allies.
The suspicion of clandestine sympathies
Gave us the right to detain our foes.

As war began to break out in far-flung lands,
We decided to try to pre-empt her demands.
A covert concord giving each of us rights
To a sizeable slice of the continent grand.
She agreed to our terms, giving nothing away,
Unspoken to all was our earlier rapport.
The pact was then signed, our rights were assured,
There was naught to do now but prepare the onslaught.

We started the war as a way to take her power,
But beyond reproach she
Was nothing but loath to agree to
Greater cooperation.

The war reached its peak
Would it ever conclude?
This blood serpent with
Her nosferatic brood
Guiding us to hell...
