Verse 1
One man turned you from the ways of the heathen
The old gods no longer held sway
The Grand Prince would shudder could he see how quickly
One man once more led you astray
Perun and Svarog demanded oblations
You slaughtered your children for them
Have you sunk deeper, that now you would sacrifice
Christians to your fellow men?
Chorus
Rus'
Rus'
Verse 2
Your temples you tore down, your icons you ravaged
And millions you robbed of their bread
As they perished in Kyiv, in Moscow they fed on
The Lamb who for sinners was dead
The smoke of destruction ascended to heaven
The saints all looked down in disgust
What thought you, to pray yet to Christ Pantocrator?
He is wroth, and his judgment is just
Chorus
Verse 3
Lofty the titles that you have laid claim to
Third Rome and Heaven on Earth
Why did you scorn then your Orthodox brethren
When Lviv was seeking rebirth?
Rus', you have time yet to set free the prisoners
Rebuild and raise the sobor
Trampling down spiritual death, Orthodoxy
Will triumph and flourish once more
