Winter winds in Petrograd, the people's cries grew strong
The factories stood silent, the old world felt so wrong
The Tsar had lost his throne that night in 1917
A broken land, a shattered rule, where power had once been
From Lenins words a fire burned
The workers rose and soldiers turned
The shots are the news of the dead Tsar - Da Da Da
They are the reign of the red star - Da Da Da
The great war had led that far - Da Da Da
See the rise of the USSR
The shots are the news of the dead Tsar - Da Da Da
They are the reign of the red star - Da Da Da
The great war had led that far - Da Da Da
From Moscow to Siberia - Da Da Da
Russias lands now are
The Republics of the USSR
Bolsheviks took Moscows streets, the Winter Palace fell
The Provisional was overthrown, the reds began to swell
"Peace, land and bread!" they cried, the promise of a change
A worker's state, a grand new world, yet chaos still remained
From Lenins words a fire burned
The workers rose and soldiers turned
The shots are the news of the dead Tsar - Da Da Da
They are the reign of the red star - Da Da Da
The great war had led that far - Da Da Da
See the rise of the USSR
The shots are the news of the dead Tsar - Da Da Da
They are the reign of the red star - Da Da Da
The great war had led that far - Da Da Da
From Moscow to Siberia - Da Da Da
Russias lands now are
The Republics of the USSR
A treaty signed at Brest-Litovsk, the war was left behind
But civil strife still raged at home, the Reds and Whites entwined
Trotsky marched with iron grip, the Red Army stood tall
And Kolchak and his royal troops were about to fall
The Soviets formed, the land was claimed, the party took its place
In '22 the union rose, the USSR embraced
But the dream of peace was shattered, as the government turned cruel
And many would soon meet their fate under Stalin's rule
Under Stalin's rule
