Lyrics

*(Verse 1)*
The wind blows cold from the East,
A voice that screams without a sound.
Mothers weep, their sons march on,
Under a flag of pride and pain.

*(Pre-Chorus)*
They say, *"It’s for the motherland,"*
But the fields only grow in gray.
Every step is a broken home,
Every day a new regret.

*(Chorus)*
**Red skies hanging over us,**
**Shadows where the light once was.**
**Who wins when all is lost in flame?**
**A people fight but never come home again.**

*(Verse 2)*
The radio hums with softened lies,
While truth lies frozen in Moscow’s snow.
Fathers pray, daughters write,
Letters that will never arrive.

*(Pre-Chorus)*
They say, *"It’s all for glory,"*
But glory’s carved in stone.
Every name on a wall so cold,
Every night the same ghost calls.

*(Chorus)*
**Red skies hanging over us,**
**Shadows where the light once was.**
**Who wins when all is lost in flame?**
**A people fight but never come home again.**

*(Bridge)*
Time won’t wash away the tears,
History writes itself in grief.
What remains of a land
That sold its soul for power’s hand?

*(Outro)*
And when the final shot rings out,
Only one question stays:
*"Was it worth it? Was it worth it?"*
**Red skies...**
