Twilight of the Tzar Lyrics

In Kremlin halls where whispers breed

Old tzar stands tall, in his power, and creed

His iron grip feels the strain, as princes plot to claim his reign, lest they fall by his blade

Ukraine's drones at dusk ascend, oil fields aflame as night descends

At night silent swans beneath the storm

Grace veils the chaos, as shadows are reborn

Tick-tock, the tsar's old clock, as princes scheme and mock

Shadows lengthen, power wanes, in the twilight of his reign

Through eastern skies, the embers glow

Where secrets whisper, dark motives show

In distant lands, where borders strain

Power's echo rouse, echo rises again

Night descends, swans take flight

Through shadows deep, they flee the fight

Whispered tones tighten the noose

Falling thrones echo, power's abuse

Echoes ring through gilded halls, as shadows of an empire fall

Strikes ignite the hidden fire, kindling flames of fierce desire

Swans dance, the stage is set, boyars poised with silent threat

Peace hangs by a silken thread, as Swan Lake cues the final spread

Silent swans beneath the storm, grace masks the turmoil, while shadows transform

Tick-tock, the tsar's old clock, as boyars scheme and mock

Shadows lengthen, power wanes

Power wanes, in the twilight of his reign

They gather by the quiet lake, where the last swan song will break

World's eyes watch, breaths held tight, as the first light scatters night

For in the end, as curtains close, new heroes rise, old tyrants doze

Beneath the ballet's graceful face, a storm unveils the swan's embrace

Silent swans beneath the storm
