Siberian Frost Songtext
Gulag!
No human emotions dwell in this hell
No sympathy, no dignity
Never-ending hunger and burning cold
Mangle the body, deform the soul
Forced labor camps like pens
Bulging with condemned men
Endless, inhumane toil
To dig the frozen soil
Human lives despoiled
Reduced to skin and bones
Frigid hearts turn to stone
All hope is cast aside
Already dead inside
No way to survive
Far-left utopia turns to dystopia
Principles sold for the glitter of gold
Hundreds of thousands succumb in the machine
A sacrifice to ensure the gears keep turning
Rapacious hunger, unquenchable thirst
Resources plundered by labour coerced
The system gorges on the convicts′ starvation
Its gluttony prevents all chance of salvation
Kolyma!
Unforgiving winter cold
Siberian storm winds blow
The hunger – it grows, it grows!
Prisoners may live or die
Bitter end so meaningless
Death no longer terrifies
Embrace the rimed caress
Still the gold – it glows, it glows!
Countless convicts fill the mines
People disposed of like scum
Multitudes forfeit their lives
Worth less than dung
No human emotions dwell in this hell
No sympathy, no dignity
Never-ending hunger and burning cold
Mangle the body, deform the soul
Forced labor camps like pens
Bulging with condemned men
Endless, inhumane toil
To dig the frozen soil
Human lives despoiled
Reduced to skin and bones
Frigid hearts turn to stone
All hope is cast aside
Already dead inside
No way to survive
Far-left utopia turns to dystopia
Principles sold for the glitter of gold
Hundreds of thousands succumb in the machine
A sacrifice to ensure the gears keep turning
Rapacious hunger, unquenchable thirst
Resources plundered by labour coerced
The system gorges on the convicts′ starvation
Its gluttony prevents all chance of salvation
Kolyma!
Unforgiving winter cold
Siberian storm winds blow
The hunger – it grows, it grows!
Prisoners may live or die
Bitter end so meaningless
Death no longer terrifies
Embrace the rimed caress
Still the gold – it glows, it glows!
Countless convicts fill the mines
People disposed of like scum
Multitudes forfeit their lives
Worth less than dung
