Lyrics
Intro
Steel in our hands, wind in our lungs
The steppe remembers freedom songs
Drums of thunder, hooves that cry
A thousand souls refuse to die
Verse 1
From the Dnieper to the Carpathian flame
They rode with fire, no need for fame
Banners high, and sabres drawn
They fought for land that they'd been born on
Kazakh/Ukrainian Shout – shouted in background
“Za volyu! Za zemlyu!”
(For freedom! For our land!)
Chorus
Stand of the Steppes, we rise as one
Through smoke and fire, we won’t run
Husars and Cossacks, side by side
One nation forged by sacrifice
Verse 2
The winged shadows from the sky
Hussars charge and banners fly
Cossack yells in morning frost
We count no cost for what was lost
Bridge – emotional build-up
Oaths were sworn in blood and dust
Empire trembled under us
They called us wild, they called us free
We built our fate in unity
Final Chorus – with layered vocals
Stand of the Steppes, thunder roars
The empire breaks on rebel swords
Voices echo through the plains
We are the storm, we wear no chains
Outro – fading with chants
“Za volyu! Za zemlyu!”
“Za volyu! Za zemlyu!”
“Za volyu! Za zemlyu!”
