| Shots fired as Russian troops force their way into Ukrainian base in Crimea --Financial Times, March 22, 2014 |
Long ago with eyes aflame,
Keen his claws, monster came.
We have only fists to sing
We have only stones to sling.
No one calls to freedom bring
We have only fists to sing.
In the Square we’re beaten down
A Savior no where to be found
Monster monster burning bright
With all the diamonds in the night
Sitting on your jeweled throne
Dark and evil is your crown.
Whiffle your wings through tulgy wood
Manxsome Moscow foe, no good
To Crimea or Ukraine in breaking laws.
Only blood drips from those claws.
