The Motherland Calls

lyrics
Haunting folk ballad with ethereal female vocals inspired by Scarborough Fair
[Intro - soft female vocals, ethereal]
[Verse 1 - flute]
On Mamayev Kurgan she stands tall and proud
Her sword raised to heaven, her voice calling loud
Remember the fallen, remember the brave
Their memory eternal, in stone now engraved
[Chorus - female vocals, haunting]
The Motherland calls, the Motherland weeps
For daughters and sons who now eternal sleep
The Motherland calls, across rivers of time
Her vigil unbroken, her purpose sublime
[Verse 2 - soft strings]
Two hundred steps climb to her feet made of steel
The weight of her sorrow, all Russians can feel
Her silhouette stark against Volgograd's sky
A mother whose children were destined to die
[Bridge - female vocals, building intensity]
She watches in silence, through seasons that change
Her gaze never faltering, her posture unchanged
The wind through her garments, the snow on her face
A guardian of memory, of time and of place
[Verse 3 - balalaika]
The battles are over, the guns now are still
But echoes of sacrifice whisper there still
The blood of the fallen has seeped in the ground
Where heroes once perished, now peace can be found
[Chorus - female vocals, full and resonant]
The Motherland calls, the Motherland weeps
For daughters and sons who now eternal sleep
The Motherland calls, across rivers of time
Her vigil unbroken, her purpose sublime
[Outro - female vocals fading]
Remember the statue, remember the hill
Remember the stories her silence can tell
The Motherland calls us to never forget
The price of our freedom, the depth of our debt
