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
