lyrics

Ukrainian Tears

Bombs falling on Ukrainian cities
rip open my gandfather's grave.
He died in a war he'd not chosen,
his life for a bad cause he gave.
Father in heaven,
deliver from evil us all, us all,
Father in heaven,
deliver from evil us all.

Mariupol, Kherson and Kiyiv,
and other names written in blood
prove if we don't arm against evil,
soon drown us it will like a flood.
Father in heaven, ...

Civilians and women and children
lie dead in the streets, in the fields.
They trusted us, cried for protection,
we gave them nor swords neither shields.
Father in heaven, ...

My grandfather came with the Germans,
they came to invade and to stay,
the new foes, they call themselves brothers,
but brothers should not come to slay.
Father in heaven, ...
