Trapped, the rat begins to gnaw Finds its way through tooth and claw Through flesh and bone to get away From the heat the wraps its iron cage Victims screaming "mercy, please!" Death please come and give release Crawl inside the open corpse Escaping death, providing more Cause of revolutionary war Trial by fire The end of persecution of the poor Bloodstained red terror The furnace waits for those who stand In the way of our demands The streets of Kharkov painted red Hanging men, parading death Peel the skin from shaking hands Gloves are formed from ghostly strands Clergy, preachers, mouth of lies Buried screaming for divine The murder count has been reversed Strength of change must be preserved Beginning of their sorrows A dawning of a dead tomorrow Cause of revolutionary war Trial by fire The end of persecution of the poor Bloodstained red terror The furnace waits for those who stand In the way of our demands The streets of Kharkov painted red Hanging men, parading death The furnace waits The knots are tied Chambers loaded Time to die To rid the opposition Hit them at the source A fear like no other fear Spill the blood with no remorse Cleanse the dirt and start again A row of dead forsaken men Put on trial, a trial by fire Bloodstained red terror Cleanse the dirt and start again Bloodstained red terror A row of dead forsaken men Bloodstained red terror
