Nation Over Nation Lyrics

Nation by nation

 Like measles on the map

 Sprouting in all directions

 From Mother Russia's lap

 The dream of independence

 Seeking identify

 As the old orders crumble

 But you must learn to see

 

 Greatness! Raise the flag

 Show your kids now proud it flies

 This, my son, is God's own country

 For its honour you must die

 

 We are the chosen ones

 This blood and soil is sacred

 We above the rest

 

 Nation over nation: myth of supremacy

 People over people: chauvinist bigotry

 Nation over nation: calls for hate, envy and war

 Chaos and damnation: nation over nation

 

 Power is the key

 That's behind the rhetoric

 Patriotic anesthetic

 Blinded crowds fall for the trick

 

 Parades and uniforms

 Masking internal crisis

 Afterming foreign threats

 

 Nation over nation: myth of supremacy

 People over people: chauvinist bigotry

 Nation over nation: calls for hate, envy and war

 Chaos and damnation: nation over nation

 

 Ethnic manipulation

 The curse of racial pride

 Abuse by powermongers

 Commiting genocide

 

 "Nation" is a scheme

 giving power to elites

 ideology concealing

 exploitation and deceit

 

 We are the chosen ones

 This blood and soil is sacred

 We above the rest

 

 Nation over nation: myth of supremacy

 People over people: chauvinist bigotry

 Nation over nation: calls for hate, envy and war

 Chaos and damnation: nation over nation
