 It was well concieved in theory but it does'nt work in life.

Comrade has to wonder: "is it ever worth the effort?"

Well I dont know, but I've been told not to hang onto my hope.

 Well I dont know what I've been told and I've been listening all my life.

If you're ever less then certain about the world

please dont let the worry make its way into your work

and if you would stick up for me and face some adversity,

know that I would only do the same.

 Cause it was well concieved in theory but it does'nt work in life.

Me I will not write it of not ever having tried.

 Well I don't know, but I've been told not to hang onto my hope.

 Well I don't know what I've been told but these are lies and they get old.

 So look me in the eyes under expanding winter skies,

 you'll find a feeling there that never knows the cold.

Look me in the eyes and the sceptic in me dies,

scepsis is a fool, we are exeptions to the world.

This is our land this is our land I will cross it holding your hands.

Kursk down to Moscow will not be turned away.

 This is our land, this is our land, I will cross it holding your hands.

The crocked streets of Petersburg, we are all the same

 So if you're ever less then certain about the world

please dont let the worry make its way into your work.

 And if you would stick up for me in the face of great adversity

know that I would do the same know we are the same.

If you would stick up for me speek highly and poeticly,

you can be my personal ambassador to the world,

 and if you're ever less then certain I will be your iron curtain

(alt. )

I will be your Berlinwall, and I will never fall
