Lyrics

Black sea
White serpents on white boulders named this isle of stone
Stories
Say the ghost of great Achilles calls these sh0res his home
We thirteen take up his spear
Answering the echo of the words we hear
Across the waves
Silhouettes on the wine-dark sea
Scylla and Charybdis of antiquity
Have had their say

Can't surrender, can't survive
But your words will reach those left alive
Courage over fear
Take my hand and speak out loud and clear
But just in case, my love (just in case, my love)
In this land of legend (just in case, my love)
The Snake Island Thirteen stand as one

Monsters
The Moskva and Vasily Bykov take their aim
Heroes
We never would have dreamed our humble group would bear that name
If we join the ghosts of the ancient Greeks
Let the world hear these words you speak
And know our deeds
With nothing but a microphone in hand
They can take our lives but not our land
These words are seeds
(Sunflower seeds)

Can't surrender, can't survive
But your words will reach those left alive
Courage over fear
Take my hand and speak out loud and clear
But just in case, my love (just in case, my love)
In this land of legend (just in case, my love)
We stand with you, just speak out:

From wireless screams to endless memes
Through electronic media
On postage stamps, through vintage amps
T-shirts, Wikipedia

Silence
Seabirds wet their wings to wash the temple walls
Thirteen
Sunflowers take root like legends, strong and tall

Can't surrender, can't survive
But your words will reach those left alive
Courage over fear
Take my hand and speak out loud and clear
But just in case, my love (just in case, my love)
In this land of legend (just in case, my love)
The Snake Island Thirteen stand as one

Yes, just in case, love (just in case, my love)
Take my hand
They can take our lives but not our land
