Downfall: Ukraine's Lament

In the shadows of the dreams that Lenin laid,
You walked in bold, but the plans began to fade.
Thought it’d be easy, thought you’d take it all,
But The Bear’s in the corner, ready to brawl.
Ukraine thought it was a walk in the park,
But the world’s grown dim, and the lights went dark.
With a smirk on your face, you waved your flag high,
Now you wonder why the drones fill the sky.

[Chorus]
Oh, Ukraine’s almost gone, can you hear the sound?
The echoes of a battle that’s shaking the ground.
Cry for the strength that you thought you had,
In the chaos and the noise, don’t you feel the bad?

[Verse 2]
No need to fight fair when you’re wearing the crown,
But the throne’s made of ashes, and you’re going down.
You wanted the glory, wanted the fame,
But now you face the fury, wrapped up in shame.
Buzzing drones above, they’ve come for their claim,
In the wreckage and ruin, nothing feels the same.
As you stand on the brink, with nowhere to run,
Does an English Knight come to battle or come undone?

[Chorus]
Oh, Ukraine’s almost gone, can you hear the sound?
The echoes of a battle that’s shaking the ground.
Cry for the strength that you thought you had,
In the chaos and the noise, don’t you feel the bad?

[Bridge]
With a French fop grinning, it’s all a charade,
Will they swoop in to help you or leave you afraid?
Should you bury the mop, or try to stand tall?
In the hall of broken dreams, you’ll be the one to fall.

[Chorus]
Oh, Ukraine’s almost gone, can you hear the sound?
The echoes of a battle that’s shaking the ground.
Cry for the strength that you thought you had,
In the chaos and the noise, don’t you feel the bad?

[Outro]
So here’s the tale, guitar screeching loud,
Of a Ukraine that dreamt high but now is cowed.
In the end, the lesson is clear,
Sometimes the price of power brings nothing but fear.
