Afghanistan
Afghanistan-dan-dan-dan-da-da-dan
Where the Soviets Fall began
In 79 Russia crossed the Amu Darya
On the road to Kabul into Afghanistan
They intervened before the communist there would fall
And placed on the throne Babrak Karmal
Helicopters roared and tanks rolled through the streets
But the Graveyard of Empires once again defied defeat

Where the Soviets fall began
Afghanistan-dan-dan-dan-da-da-dan
Afghanistan-dan-dan-dan-da-da-dan
A World power against rural clans
Afghanistan
Afghanistan-dan-dan-dan-da-da-dan
Afghanistan-dan-dan-dan-da-da-dan
Outgunned and overrun
But the war could not be won
Afghanistan-dan-dan-dan-da-da-dan
Afghanistan-dan-dan-dan-da-da-dan
And the Soviets fall began
The Mujahideen were rising in the winter of 81
Tribes from every region fighting a war of hit and run
Washington sent Stingers - Soviet helicopters burned
And Gorbachev realized that the war had turned
Helicopters roared and tanks rolled through the streets
But the Graveyard of Empires once again defied defeat

And the Soviets fall began
Negotiations started in 1988
Signed the papers for withdrawal sealed the date
But for the communist regime it was already too late
The Soviet Union would soon collapse into many different states
Helicopters roared and tanks rolled through the streets
But the Graveyard of Empires once again defied defeat
