[Verse 1] Frozen mud and brittle bones Wagon tracks across the zones Barking guards and winter bite Feeding on the black of night [solo] Line up for the water Line up for the work The tally is a slaughter Where the silent terrors lurk [pre Chorus] Island chain of jagged pain Break the link and snap the chain Barbed wire fence and frozen rain Islands of the deep stain [chorus] GULAG GULAG GULAG [Verse 2] Rotted bark for midday soup Stumble through the iron hoop Ripped fingernails and empty stares Nobody has a breath for prayers [solo] The tally is a slaughter Line up for the work Line up for the water Where the silent terrors lurk [pre Chorus] Island chain of jagged pain Break the link and snap the chain Barbed wire fence and frozen rain Islands of the deep stain [chorus]GULAG GULAG GULAG [Bridge] Under boots Under ice Under numbers Paid the price Forgotten names Forbidden souls Buried deep In frozen holes [pre Chorus] Island chain of jagged pain Break the link and snap the chain Barbed wire fence and frozen rain Islands of the deep stain [chorus]GULAG GULAG GULAG
