Kolovrat - Hope and Glory

1917, the year the sun no longer shined,
Upon our pleasant land, came it's darkest times.
In chains our new life began, oh how could this be?
Our soul stolen from us, how we longed to be free.

Refrain:
We survived the test of time,
We've outlasted a regime and its crimes.
No matter what's before us, we still survive,
You can steal a people's freedom, but not thier pride.

Your gulags no longer, no more red misery,
No longer will the children cry, living in captivity.
Your chains are old and rusted, no longer do they hold.
When you push a people to submission, their warm blood will turn cold.

Now it's a modern era, we must be careul which way we choose,
One wrong step is one wrong move condemning ourselves to lose.
Follow your heart and your soul, when certain time lie ahead,
The sun will shine and rise again, no matter what anyone says.
