Kolyma - Gates of Ishtar

They pass me when I close my eyes
Ragged lines of ragged grey
Grey their faces, grey their hands... grey...

Grey the ghosts that haunt this land
Their pain, it echoes through the hills
Through no one living ever left... no one...

This is Kolyma
A graveyard for the lost

The muffled sounds of cries and moans
Od swearing, shooting and commands
They all disappeared in this big land

Where summer's harsh and winter kills
Where gold is hidden, death's for free
And freedom came from weapon steel... from steel...

This is Kolyma
A graveyard for the lost

The forest conquered all the camps
Broke walls, cut fences down to earth
(x2)

Land of gold and land of death
A graveyard for the lost
You gave the treasures, you tool the men
You'll keep them forever

This is Kolyma
A graveyard for the lost
(x2)

The cold wind's crying for the lost
He knows the sites where they all lie
The wolves are howling in the woods

Howls like calling up the dead
I'd rather trust in their fangs
Than mercy by man's hand

This is Kolyma
A graveyard for the lost
(x2)

For the lost...

The cold wind's crying for the lost
The one who knows their names
