City of Kiev
The world is alit
City of Kiev it starts with you
burning for your right to freedom
of assembly and of humanity.
Crumbling from strong arm
tactics and corruption
Police roll down the street
beating the young, old, and weak.
Wannabe Russian Dictator that is
your President Yanukovych.
Viktor, resign and run to your Russian master!
FSB guide the Police shooting into the crowds,
snipers on the roof,
and cocktails that are drunk by the rich
are weapons for those who seek to be free.
City of Kiev, cover your face
protect yourself from further arrest.
March down to Maidan Nezalezhnosti
Freedom awaits at the end of the street.
Ignore the lie of the politician
Rise up with your brothers and sisters
to the new dawn; take their buildings!
Rise up with your fathers and mothers
to a new life; another revolution!
Finish what the Orange Revolution started.
City of Kiev, the world is with you
as you march for your right.
Humanity is on your side,
no weapon do they have
to stop the hand of the people.
The fist of the people.
Your spirit is with ours and all of mankind.
