One last natural obstacle
The Luga river crossed
Determinded to take Leningrad
No matter the cost
Not the final stormattack
Awe and disbelief
Build up the surrounding
A city under siege
Man the ramparts and the barricades
Attempts fail to break through this blockade
In a circle of hostillity
Easy target for artilliery
Intruder fire comes from everywhere
Inhabitants completely unprepared
Provisiondepots go up in flames
Replenishments burn down whilst on their way
Stocks increasing, low rations
In the clasp of starvation
Famine stirs up apathy
Hunger seals their destiny
Skeletons once humans
Consuming saw-dust bread
Meal of glue a substitute
As they starve to death
With all windows broken
It begins to freeze
Starvelings collapsing
Bodies pave the streets
Over Lake Ladoga
Logistics on the ice
Evacuate the wounded
Bringing in supplies
900 days it lasted
The brutal cruel bloodshed
The massacred children
Never to forget
