Birds Are Singing In Ukraine
(Official Video)

Lyrics:
"
All this will be over soon
And we will sing a happy tune
Flowers and birds sing in the fields
Corpses in the earth to war did yield

Happy lovers are holding hands
To their future making plans
Their fathers killed the corpses underneath
All that's left are bones and teeth

Birds are singing in Ukraine
The monster of Moscow Death has slaimed
Farmers plough the fields
Corpses in the earth to war yield

Farmers plough the fields
Corpses in the earth to war yield

Birds sing in Ukraine
"

The band’s singer and songwriter, Martyn Jacques, says “Over the last year or more, I have been very active about Ukraine on my Facebook page. I have made paintings and written poems and songs. This is a collection of those songs. The feelings of anger, frustration I have felt. Some of the songs are about people who support Russia. For political, economic, patriotic reasons. Some of the songs are about the arrogant, evil and corrupt Putin himself. Some of the songs are about the suffering of Ukrainian people in this horrible war. I feel such sympathy and sadness for the ordinary people who pay with their own lives or the lives of loved ones for the arrogant tsar gangster in the Kremlin.”

@Sardonicus These cards look like the work of #EdwardGorey. He collaborated with #TheTigerLillies and #KronosQuartet to produce an album based on his unpublished stories - The Gory End. The Tiger Lillies are so wonderfully deranged. I've seen them live, twice.
