The sun is rising behind the spoil tips.(2)
The world is allowing those with strong beliefs to claim what is rightfully theirs.
Babylon is burning, but we are already holding the line with swords in our hands.
For fire cannot touch those who were forged in flames. (3)
Listen to the latest song from the authors of the now famous Ukrainain track "Wild Field"
We human beings have been blessed with a beautiful garden and a myriad of pathways to explore.
Each atom is a work of art, a haven of emerald waters.
But there are some who get a kick of launching drones into children's rooms.
They are just God's mistake, a badly written machine code.
Having received the most remarkable creation - human body -
In the world of violins and scripts, they want to pull the Soviet oar,
Half a world away from home. Cruel beasts from birth,
They thirstily feed on blood. True evil, in short.
Endowed with gifts to weave love and musical chords,
I dive instead into this surreal reality, when I could be building life instead.
Because if we do not, all of us will be killed by this horde.
Our world is broken again. We have to be the engineers of new Existence.
The sun is rising behind the spoil tips.
The world is allowing those with strong beliefs to claim what is rightfully theirs.
Babylon is burning, but we are already holding the line with swords in our hands.
For fire cannot touch those who were forged in flames.
The uranium of the nation is here, where the spirit of the people is stronger than the everlasting ores.
In the cities, there are cobblestones and animal waste.
If you are a pound of slag, no money will get you rich.
We are the pillars that provide the world with a continuous and influential impetus.
The courageous and resolute do not fear death.
It would be awful if the two shores were to be torn apart once more,
The actions of the heroes - erased, the children - colonized.(4)
It's better to go into battle with a pack of wolves than a herd of deer.
Destitute slaves dive into the Tisza River.
But we emerge from lava, from soot, and fog.
Demons are constantly climbing out of the underground mines.
With the bodies of the best of us, we are sewing up the cracks of the Earth.
The sun is rising behind the spoil tips.
The world is allowing those with strong beliefs to claim what is rightfully theirs.
Babylon is burning, but we are already holding the line with swords in our hands.
For fire cannot touch those who were forged in flames.
Behind the tericons
Babylon is burning, and we are
Under the crown of the sky
We stand in legions
The video clip shows war-torn Donbas. Especially in the second half of the video, you can see what used to be asphalt roads lined with rubble that used to be houses - all that's left of the city of Mariinka. The landscape of Donbas - endless fields of wheat, sunflowers and wildflowers - burned and scarred with craters left by missiles. For reference, this is how Donbas looked before:
2. Spoil tips, or terricones as we call them, are waste from mines, the size of mountains - a very common sight in Donbas.
3. "For fire cannot burn those who were forged in flames" is a very famous quote from Taras Shevchenko's epic poem "Hamalia"
4. In these 2 lines the song is referencing Ukrainian history in the beginning of the 20th century. The Dnipro River divides all of Ukraine almost cleanly in half, and by this separation line Ukraine had been divided for many years - the Left Bank under the rule of Russian Empire, the Right Bank - under Poland's rule. But after WWI and after Russian Empire fell, Ukrainians were able to first establish two Ukrainian states (people of the Left Bank established Ukraine's People Rebublic and people of the Right Bank established West Ukrainian People Republic) and then, on January 22, 1919 - to unite again into one singular state. This date of signing the Treaty of Unity is a national holiday in modern Ukraine. Alas, soon the whole country was again occupied by Russia and forced into the Soviet Union.

I also highly recommend Ragnarok

Free fall to the edge
They will hound you in the end
Your desires I'll change
Your desires I'll change
Come inside
And cut away your peace of mind
And it feels so good, alive
And I feel fine
And I feel fine
Pray out loud the soul descends
Where desire pulls you in
Come inside
And cut away your peace of mind
And it feels so good, alive
And I feel fine, unalive
You and I feel so right, unalive
You and I feel so right, we collide
And it feels so good, unalive

BACK IN TIME: LADY GAGA STUNS IN TIA CIBANI
On Valentine's Day 2015, Lady Gaga was photographed leaving her New York City apartment en route to run some errands while feeling her new bob haircut.
The freshly-engaged beauty wore a midnight-blue velvet maxi dress with long sleeves, knotted front and side cut-outs (which we sadly can't see) from TiA CiBANi’s Pre-Fall 2015 collection [look no. 10].
She covered most of it up with her Helen Yarmak brown sable coat. Gaga's version features a chain print silk lining.
Her oversized round sunglasses are vintage found at General Eyewear (similar pictured).
The metallic silver shoes are the Ferragamo Susi pumps in “Butter Platinum”.
