Tsarina Alexandra
She had her personal mage
While Russian people suffered
Rasputin held the stage
Today it’s his near namesake
Who’s following that lead
Crushing opposition
While in Ukraine they bleed
Cocooned inside the Kremlin
We see cruel Vladimir
Spewing out his rhetoric
While children live in fear

He bombards towns and cities

With family homes laid waste

A million flee to exile

And this is just a taste
For now he's silenced protests
Like in the Cold War times
But one day he'll face justice
And answer for his crimes.
