Is this your brand?
Rassia, Russia, Russland,
What have you done; do you understand?
Are you not far away from the motherland?
It is with your name and hand,
that someone gave to these insane acts the command.
Is this your promise for a better world, is this your promised land?
Is this a taste of your justice and brand?
Rassia, Russia, Russland,
It is against you now, that we all stand.
Stop this madness now, for humanity, we demand.
People of the world, don’t close your eyes and ears.
Is it not time to take each other’s hand?
Let's become a wave of justice and humble the raiders like the pebbles of sand.
Let's show the fascists, together we stand.
The man fallen here, is someone's son, father or husband.
The voices of the women and the children who were lost in despair to the darkness of the time have become our voices, to resend.
They stood with their hearts, ready to give up their lives for their country, traditions and homes, to defend.
It is now on us that Ukraine’s people depend,
Hoping for a friend.
Free People of the world, it is our turn to contend.
Forget the plans for the weekend, I have something to recommend,
now that there is a rally of humanity, let's be there, let's make our moves and attend,
or there may be no one left, it is now that we need to act, let's stop the madness, it is time to apprehend,
all those fascist raiders,
it is time to suspend,
all the killing and murders.
Rassia, Russia, Russland,
What have you done; do you understand?
Are you not far away from the motherland?
People of Russia, have you not come too far?
Will you be remembered by Gorki, Tolstoy, Tchaikovsky or Rasputin, Putin and Tsar?
Would you be remembered for the culture, the vodka and the caviar?
or the bullets, invasions and the war?
Who fights the wars of power for the rich? Who but the poor,
and yet, you, lost in the illusion of patriotism and power, you want more,
driven by those rotten from the core,
why, what for? Only this time, it is to humanity that you closed the door,
Is this what you want, is this the way of Russia, are you sure?
Hey, you, carrying the guns of death, so unkind,
The future will judge you when they talk about the poverty, pain and the ruins you left behind,
When they ask about the torn hearts and souls,
When they ask about the red colour of the soils,
And when they ask about the rapes and murders and the orphans,
And they ask, what was in your mind?
Was this evil and darkness for what you signed?
Don’t let the hatred make you blind
When they ask about the blood and the tears that watered and graced the earth,
About the stolen bread of the orphans, who were never embraced and still hurt,
And about the last painful breaths of those raped and murdered, not disgraced, but fallen in the dirt
It is with your name and hand,
that someone gave to these insane acts the command.
Is this your promise for a better world, is this your promised land?
Is this a taste of your justice and brand?
Powerful governments of the world, did you once again, smell the oil and see the shine of the gold?
People of the world,
What have we done; do we understand?
Not far away from the home and our motherland?
It is with our name and hand,
that someone gave to these insane governments the power, and to these armies the command.
Is this our promise for a better world, is this our promised land?
When we went to Syria, Libya, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan,
when we created millions of refugees and crises
when we killed and let them be killed when we created a Taliban power base when we created ISIS, was there no crisis?
Just because these refugees were not pure white,
their struggle was not our fight?
we could hide in our darkness that took away their light, we could keep closed our blue eyes,
or keep the other colours out of sight.
People of the world let's open our eyes,
Russia is only one of them, there is a lot more to the lies,
the killings and wars and politics of the power we despise,
no matter what the colours are, or the race or wherefrom they rise.
People of the world, let's unite, in the bigger fight,
the fight for humanity to bring back the light,
against the endless night,
against all those governments with the bombs and arms, looking down at our red dust from the height,
against all those dirty politicians with might.
People of the world, from anywhere you come, from any land,
humanity is our ultimate homeland,
let's give each other a hand, let's unite and together stand,
against all the wars, killings and lies
from the politicians who use us and our difference,
our different colours, religions and beliefs, and lives,
against the politicians who divide us, let us stand
While we only see what they want us to see,
they are the ones who have the upper hand.
Is this a taste of our justice and brand?
Warmongers of the world,
who divide us and use us, young and old,
It is against you now, that we all should stand.
Stop this madness now, for it is the humanity, that we demand
Free People of the world, it is our turn to contend, humanity needs a friend
Not just for white-skinned refugees not just for the blue eyes,
we want to open all our eyes,
we want to look and see all the lies
Now that there is a rally of the human race, let's be there, let’s embrace,
let us stand to the beasts, face to face
let's stop the madness, it is time to apprehend,
all those fascist raiders,
it is time to suspend,
all the killing and murders.
No matter where they come from in the end,
from wherever they rise and their hatred they extend,
from Russia or the West or the East,
no matter where they come from, let’s stop the beast.
The blood and tears of witnesses from Ukraine, Taiwan, Tibet, to the Middle East,
We all have seen the real faces of the beast.
People of the world, no matter from where let’s make humanity our homeland,
together as one race, we stand,
this is what we want to be our brand.
