    Verse 1
    They crossed 
    over 
    the 
    border, 
    the 
    hour 
    before 
    dawn 

    Moving 
    in lines 
    through the 
    day 

    Most 
    of our 
    planes 
    were des
    troyed 

    on the ground 
    where they 
    lay 

    Waiting 
    for 
    orders 
    we 
    held 
    in the wood 

    Word 
    from the 
    front 
    never 
    came 

    By 
    evening 
    the 
    sound 
    of the gun

    fire 
    was 
    miles 
    away 

    Ah, 
    softly 
    we move 
    through 
    the shadows, 

    slip 
    away through 
    the trees 

    Crossing 
    their lines 
    in the 
    mists 
    in the 

    fields 
    on our 
    hands 
    and on 
    our knees 

    And 
    all 
    that I 
    ever 
    was 
    able 
    to see 

    The fire 
    in the 
    air 
    glowing 
    red, 

    silhou
    etting 
    the smoke 
    on the 
    breeze 

    Verse 2

    All 
    summer 
    they drove 
    us 
    back 

    through 
    the Ukraine 

    Smolensk 
    and 
    Viasma soon 
    fell 

    By 
    autumn 
    we 
    stood 
    with our backs 

    to the 
    town 
    of Orel 

    Closer 
    and 
    closer 
    to 
    Mo

    scow 
    they come 

    Riding 
    the 
    wind 
    like 
    bell 

    General 
    Guderi
    an stands 

    at the 
    crest 
    of the 
    hill 

    Winter 
    brought 
    with her 
    the rains, 

    oceans 
    of 
    mud filled 
    the 
    roads 

    Gluing 
    the tracks 
    of their tanks 
    to the ground 

    while the 
    sky 
    filled 
    with snow 

    And 
    all 
    that I 
    ever 
    was 
    able 
    to 
    see 

    The 
    fire 
    in the 
    air 
    glowing 
    red 
    silhou
    etting 
    the 
    snow 
    on the breeze 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 3
    In the foot
    steps 
    of Napoleon 
    the 
    shad
    ow 

    figures stagger 
    through the 
    winter 

    Falling 
    back before 
    the gates 
    of 
    Moscow, 

    standing 
    in the 
    wings 
    like an 
    avenger 

    And 
    far 
    away behind 
    their 
    lines 
    the 

    partisans 
    are stirring 
    in the 
    forest 

    Coming 
    unexpectedly 
    upon 
    their 
    outposts, 

    growing 
    like a promise 

    You'll 
    never 
    know, you'll 
    never 
    know which 
    way to turn, 

    which 
    way to 
    look you'll 
    never 
    see 
    us 

    As we're 
    stealing 
    through the 

    blackness 
    of the 
    night 

    You'll 
    never 
    know, you'll 
    never 
    hear 
    us 

    And 
    the 
    evening 
    sings 
    in 
    voice 
    of 
    amber, 

    the 
    dawn 
    is 
    surely 
    coming 

    The 
    morning 
    roads 
    leads 
    to 
    Stalingrad, and 

    the sky 
    is 
    softly 
    hum
    ming 


    Verse 4
    Two broken 
    Tigers 
    on 
    fire 
    in the night 

    Flicker 
    their souls 
    to 
    the 
    wind 

    We 
    wait 
    in the 
    lines 
    for the 
    fi

    nal 
    approach 
    to begin 

    It's been 
    al
    most 
    four 
    years 

    that I've 
    carried 
    a gun

    At 
    home 
    it will 
    almost 
    be 
    spring 

    The 
    flames 
    of the 
    Tigers 
    are 

    lighting 
    the 
    road 
    to Ber
    lin 

    Ah, 
    quickly 
    we move 
    through the 

    ruins 
    that 
    bow 
    to the 
    ground 

    The 
    old 
    men and 
    children 
    they 
    send 
    out to 

    face 
    us, they 
    can
    't slow 
    us 
    down 

    And 
    all 
    that I 
    ever 
    was 
    able 
    to 
    see 

    the 
    eyes 
    of the city 
    are 
    opening 

    Now 
    it's 
    the end 
    of the 
    dream 

    Verse 5
    I'm 
    coming 
    home, 

    I'm coming 

    home, 

    now 
    you can 
    taste 
    it in the 
    wind, the 
    war 
    is 
    over 

    And 
    listen 
    to the 
    clicking of 
    the train-wheels 

    as 
    as 
    we roll 
    across 
    the 
    border 

    And now they 
    ask 
    me of the time 
    that I was caught 

    behind 
    their 
    lines 
    and taken 
    prisoner 

    "They only held 
    me 
    for a day, 

    lucky break," 
    I say 
    they 
    turn 
    and listen 
    closer 

    I'll never know, 
    I'll 
    never know 
    why 

    I was taken 
    from the line 
    and all 
    the 
    others 

    To 
    board 
    a special 
    train 
    and journey 

    deep 
    into the 
    heart 
    of holy 
    Russia 

    And 
    it's cold 
    and 
    damp 
    in the 
    transit 
    camp, 

    and the 
    air is 
    still 
    and sul
    len 

    And 
    the 
    pale 
    sun 
    of 
    Oc
    tober 
    whispers 

    the 
    snow 
    will soon 
    be com
    ing 

    And 
    wonder 
    when 
    I'll 
    be 
    home 
    again 

    and the 
    morn
    ing 
    answers 
    "Nev
    er" 

    And 
    the 
    evening 
    sighs, 

    and the 
    steely 
    Russian 
    skies 
    go 
    on 
    forever

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      "

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
