THE BALLAD OF NADIYA SAVCHENKO lyrics
by Joel Sattler

don't give up
without a sound
don't back up
don't back down

Nadiya the warrior
locked inside a cage
Nadiya the warrior
raise your voice in rage

the Russians want to bury you
deep in Crimean mud
the Russians want to carry you
into the sea of blood

but you will not go gentle
into that last good night
you'll never lose your soul
or give up without a fight

a woman is as strong as man
stronger in the broken parts
can do what ever a man can
she has the stronger heart

and when the battle won or lost
is over for a time
she'll count the bullets and cost
and where to place the crime

for Nadiya the warrior
will not be put upon
Nadiya the warrior
