[GLEB]

Be very careful of these rumors that prevail...

Be very careful what you say.

I was a boy who lived the truth behind the tale

And no one got away.

I saw the children as the soldiers closed the gate

The youngest daughter and her pride.

My father leaving on the night they met their fate

His pistol by his side.

The Neva flows, a new wind blows

And soon, it will be spring

The leaves unfold, the Tsar lies cold

A revolution is a simple thing

(spoken)

I heard the shots. I heard the screams.

But it's the silence after I remember most.

(sung)

The world stopped breathing

And I was no longer a boy

My father shook his head and told me not to ask

My mother said he died of shame.

But I believe he did a proud and vital task.

And in my father's name

The Neva flows, a new wind blows

And soon, it will be spring

The leaves unfold, the Tsar lies cold

Could I have pulled the trigger...

If I'd been told?

Be careful what a dream may bring.

A revolution is a simple thing...
