Iron Sky

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The samovar cools beside the bread Your wool coat hangs where you left it A ration book, a pencil mark And winter pressed against the dark [Verse 2] At dawn the factory whistles call Boots turn the frost along the wall You fold my letter in your sleeve And say, "Be strong enough to leave" [Chorus] Oh, Russia, keep your iron sky Keep every name we couldn't write Through empty trains and frozen ground I carry home the old town sound [Verse 3] The radio speaks of brighter days While smoke climbs over barracks' roofs A wooden cross beneath the snow Still knows the ones we used to know [Bridge] If spring should find this northern place Put warmer light upon your face I'll bring a match, a thread, a song And mend the years that lasted long [Chorus] Oh, Russia, keep your iron sky Keep every name we couldn't write Through empty trains and frozen ground I carry home the old town sound [Outro] The samovar cools beside the bread Your wool coat hangs where you left it
