Beauty of Chechnya

Snakes of Eden - Out of Grozny

Lyrics:

I cannot say a word so I’ll write my story down

Of walking on my comrades’ bodies lying on the ground

Across the Russian minefield they saved us with their lives

“Meet you in paradise” they shouted as they died

Allah Akbar

Mohammed walks beside me

In the winter out of Grozny

Meet you in paradise

We bribed the Russian general one hundred thousand cash

Our recon team went out ahead but they never made it back

Commander Shamil Basaev said we’ll go out ahead

The first explosion took his leg and left three commanders dead

Allah Akbar

Mohammed walks beside me

In the winter out of Grozny

Meet you in paradise

As the first mines went off and the wind began to blow

Their artillery shells and rockets screamed down into our ranks

So many brave mujahideen we left out on the snow

We didn’t want to leave them there, I didn’t want to go

Allah Akbar 

Mohammed walks beside me

In the winter out of Grozny

Meet you in paradise

Allah Akbar 

Mohammed walks beside me

In the winter out of Grozny

Meet you in paradise

The villagers of Alxan-Kala took the wounded in their homes

No medicines, no pain killers for the hacksaw cutting bones

Doctor Malika Sabieva turned away from the wounded men

We don’t know what to do, we have nothing for them

Allah Akbar

Mohammed walks beside me

In the winter out of Grozny

Meet you in paradise
