War Wolfe X - Bread Peace and Land

In a vast empire that stretches from sea to sea
Unrest is brewing
Thousands of years under of romanov rule
Is wearing thin and it's there for your viewing
The people are starting to march through the streets
It's time for the Monarchs to fall
People for many years are starving
Not just for food but for peace land for all
And there men have been lost to this conflict
For many years fighting on the eastern front
For a nobility that's far detached from their plight
As for now most are ready to come home
Bread, bread for the people
Can't you see, the people they hunger
Children are dying in the streets
It's time for change and it's really no wonder
But the monarchs are poised content to sit back
Nicholas is really losing touch
He's got advising from one evil at that
Influencing the crown way too much
There just keeping our men out there to die fast
Or freeze slow in the depths of winter
This war is really now for the ruling class
And there isn't much left for the people
We want bread
Bread
Bread
Bread
Bread
A series of defeats out on the eatern front
Has really left the men is disarray
What started out die for the motherland
Has slowly in defeat chipped away
In droves they surrender some wander aimlessly
Many just long to see home
The problem is back home the people feel neglect
And the sting from a war that's too long
The Tsar sitting there high in his grand palace
Refuses to see what he's done
He has took control of military command
So we can blame him he's the one
Peace, Peace for the people
Can't you see, the people want peace
Men are dying far from their homes
It's time for change the monarch to cease
But the aristocracy are poised content to watch
As long as their pockets are full
They got food on their table and clothes sit on their back
And they really seem to take us as fools
They don't really see a problem because they don't see
The suffering we do day to day
This war somehow is filling them with pride
When the fighting is done far away
We want bread
And peace
Bread
And peace
Bread
And peace
Bread
And peace
Well Russia is a land that's vast with many people
Living with the mark of serfdom
The lands that we plant, teel, and cultivate
Are owned by the ruling class who worsen
They treat us as less though our hard work
Keeps their belly's so full
And the people grow tired of living like this
On the fringes death what can we do
It's time to take action we want representation
A say in how our life goes
And land ownership of some sort and some form
So we can benefit we can grow
Land, Land for the people
Can't you see, the people wanna prosper
Women are dying in the fields
With no way to uplift sons and daughters
So the women take the streets their poised to fight back
From the capital Petragrad
And soon they are joined by workers many men
And the soldiers who were told to stop them fast
They are marching taking down the symbols of the Tsar
Revolution has been started
And the Tsar will be forced to abdicate the throne
Duma is installed as he departed
We want bread
Peace
And land
Bread
Peace
And land
Bread peace and land
From exile
Our deliverance is at hand
The Soviets taking control
Out of them one party one man
Vladamir Lenin
With a montra Bread, Peace, and Land
Will face down opposition
Even from the military he will stand
The Tsar and his family are now in exile
At the hands of the Bolseviks
His wife his son, and 4 daughters
Live out their days under darkness
So as the white Russians lead a counter revolution
The royal family is moved
And when the Bolseviks Lenin seizes control
The royal family is doomed
Monarchy will die at the hands of revolution
The family in a cellar lined up
The 4 daughters wearing girdles laced with jewels
Facing execution there's a hush
Then the silence is broken with the sound of gun fire
They thought they were gathered for a picture
This is how monarchy dies
In the color red and this is not conjecture
Bread, Peace, and Land!
Bread, Peace, and Land!
Bread, Peace, and Land!
