Nation Over Nation Lyrics

Nation by nation
Like measles on the map
Sprouting in all directions
From Mother Russia's lap
The dream of independence
Seeking identify
As the old orders crumble
But you must learn to seeGreatness! Raise the flag
Show your kids now proud it flies
This, my son, is God's own country
For its honour you must dieWe are the chosen ones
This blood and soil is sacred
We above the restNation over nation: myth of supremacy
People over people: chauvinist bigotry
Nation over nation: calls for hate, envy and war
Chaos and damnation: nation over nationPower is the key
That's behind the rhetoric
Patriotic anesthetic

Blinded crowds fall for the trickParades and uniforms
Masking internal crisis
Afterming foreign threatsNation over nation: myth of supremacy
People over people: chauvinist bigotry
Nation over nation: calls for hate, envy and war
Chaos and damnation: nation over nationEthnic manipulation
The curse of racial pride
Abuse by powermongers
committing genocide"Nation" is a scheme
giving power to elites
ideology concealing
exploitation and deceitWe are the chosen ones
This blood and soil is sacred
We above the restNation over nation: myth of supremacy
People over people: chauvinist bigotry
Nation over nation: calls for hate, envy and war
Chaos and damnation: nation over nation
