The Tsar is playing chess
Against the joker of the court
Will the courage of the jester
Deny the wishes of the lord?
Coming from the East
Over meadows green and cold
Steering warships made of metal
Fueled by rage from long ago
Down on the ground, you see
Everyone agrees
This is not our fight
Told this is what we need
By the powers-that-be
Playing God again
They fueled this fire
They'll watch this thing blow
Black suits from the West
Another murder of crows
Down on the ground, you see
Everyone agrees
This is not our fight
Told this is what we need
By the powers-that-be
Playing God again
They act like they care
For their sins, I hope that they said their prayers
Fire in the sky bombs and rockets through the night
Once before we were friends
Now we're enemies again
Why the hell did we listen to the powers-that-be?
Never ever will we see them dying in the killing fieds
Down on the ground, you see
Everyone agrees
This is not our fight
Told this is what we need
By the powers-that-be
Playing God again
