somewhere in ambush lurks the Angel of Death,
but the spices tongues of the masqueraders
are loose and shameless

he will step forth now without fail
and sing to us about holy vengeance...

under the crunch of bloodstained boots,
under the wheels of Black Marias.

Stars of death stood over us,
and innocent Russia squirmed
under the bloody boots,
under the wheels of black Marias.
