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 see 

Greatness! Raise the flag 
Show your kids now proud it flies 
This, my son, is God's own country 
For its honour you must die 

We are the chosen ones 
This blood and soil is sacred 
We above the rest 

Nation 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 

Power is the key 
That's behind the rhetoric 
Patriotic anesthetic 
Blinded crowds fall for the trick 

Parades and uniforms 
Masking internal crisis 
Afterming foreign threats 

Nation 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 

Ethnic manipulation 
The curse of racial pride 
Abuse by powermongers 
Commiting genocide 

"Nation" is a scheme 
giving power to elites 
ideology concealing 
exploitation and deceit 

We are the chosen ones 
This blood and soil is sacred 
We above the rest 

Nation 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
