Fear And Anguish [Russian translation]

None of us will soon forget

The Day before those things arrived

In the Churchyard on the hill,

A man had just buried his bride

She returned that day, alive.

There's a silhouette on the horizon

Like an evil stain on the rising sun.

And as it approached, we saw it was her.

And her eyes were red,

She said "You're all dead!",

Then collapsed down to the ground

As if somebody cut her strings.

Fear and anguish reigns

Ever since they came.

We used to walk the streets of town

Now we know we never will again.

Suddenly over the hill

A dog lets out an anguished howl

There ain't a beast this side of Hell

That could've brought on what befell that hound.

He was torn from limb to limb.

There's an evil stench creeping on the wind.

Reeks of pestilence mixed with death and sin.

From over the range that is where we found

Scattered on the ground, fifty heads of steer.

But what's real queer;

We searched all around

No other part was found!

Fear and anguish reigned

Ever since they came.

We used to walk the streets of town

Now we know we never will again.

Some say from the skies they fell.

Others claim they came straight from hell.

Some swear they are from the dark,

Yet others they believe they came

From our angry hearts.

And tonight we ride

Out of desperation.

For the mountainside,

Towards the reservation.

See if they might know

How to stand the tide.

Yet when we arrived

They turn their heads,

And the chief said:

"Now you know how we felt

When the white man came!"

Fear and anguish reigned

Ever since they came.

We used to walk the streets of town

Now we know we never will again.
