Tankard - Nation Over Nation lyrics

Nation by nation

Like measles on the map

Sprouting in all directions

From Mother Russia's lap

The dream of independence

Seeking identify

As the old orders crumble

But you must learn to see

Greatness! Raise the flag

Show your kids now proud it flies

This, my son, is God's own country

For its honour you must die

We are the chosen ones

This blood and soil is sacred

We above the rest

Nation over nation: myth of supremacy

People over people: chauvinist bigotry

Nation over nation: calls for hate, envy and war

Chaos and damnation: nation over nation

Power is the key

That's behind the rhetoric

Patriotic anesthetic

Blinded crowds fall for the trick

Parades and uniforms

Masking internal crisis

Afterming foreign threats

Nation over nation: myth of supremacy

People over people: chauvinist bigotry

Nation over nation: calls for hate, envy and war

Chaos and damnation: nation over nation

Ethnic manipulation

The curse of racial pride

Abuse by powermongers

Commiting genocide

"Nation" is a scheme

giving power to elites

ideology concealing

exploitation and deceit

We are the chosen ones

This blood and soil is sacred

We above the rest

Nation over nation: myth of supremacy

People over people: chauvinist bigotry

Nation over nation: calls for hate, envy and war

Chaos and damnation: nation over nation
