The Iron Angel

Iron angel flies to us from the skies
Tearing flesh, and earth, and homes apart
And the former world just suddenly dies
Only pain and barking darkness in the heart
Cry and scream, your moan won’t be heard
Prayers to gods are useless, all in vain
Reality has turned into a nightmare blurred
Death is flying to us from every plane
Chorus:
Oh, Angel of Death, do not come to me
Spare my children and my mother, let them be
Oh, Angel of Death, do not flap your wings
You have dried my throat with life’s cruel sting
Fly back to your dark infernal land
It’s too early for us to reach that promised strand
In the vale of mortals there’s still much to do
Do not take us in your nuclear view
2.
Somewhere the former bright day disappeared
Pain, ruin, ashes rushing from afar
Our city’s torn by rockets, as we feared
An age of tears has come into our world so far
With тревога we stare into the night sky
At a dreadful swarm of falling stars
Evil angels to us from darkness fly
From their settled underground hellish scars
Chorus
3.
Iron angel flies to us from the skies
Grinding blooming meadows into dust
And the former world just suddenly dies
Gray blizzard covers all in ruthless thrust
It tears apart our homes, the earth, our hearts
Only pain and barking darkness stay
No end to this sorrow ever starts
Chorus:
Oh, Angel of Death, do not come to me
Spare my children and my mother, let them be
Oh, Angel of Death, do not flap your wings
You have dried my throat with life’s cruel sting
Fly back to your dark infernal land
It’s too early for us to reach that promised strand
In the vale of mortals there’s still much to do
Do not take us in your nuclear view
