Red Dawn's Ashes

[Verse 1] Cold wind blows in the night Ruins of an empire's flight Dreams of workers turned to dust In iron city's fading rust [Verse 2] Once we stood hand in hand Promised land we took a stand Now the flags all torn and frayed Marching ghosts in yesterday [Chorus] Red dawn's ashes fill the sky Empty promises we cry Shadows fall on broken lands Fading hope with brittle hands [Verse 3] Lenin's stare frozen in stone Silent hearts left all alone Songs of freedom lost in time Echoes of a long past crime [Verse 4] Factories silent cold steel gray Utopian dreams led astray Workers’ songs now fade away In twilight's chilling Endless sway [Bridge] No more banners no more pride In the dark we try to hide Looking back at roads we've crossed All is gone but what's been lost
