Brave Russian man

[Verse 1] He came from the frost Boots on frozen ground Knew every scar by heart Never made a sound Hands like heavy steel Eyes like winter rain Crossed the blackened bridge Carrying the pain Bread in his coat Blood on the sleeve Still he stood up straight Still he would not leave [Pre-Chorus] Hear that step Low and slow Cold wind bends He don't fold [Chorus] Brave Russian man Stand up, stand up Brave Russian man Never give up Brave Russian man Stone in his chest Brave Russian man Built for the test (Brave Russian man) (Brave Russian man) [Verse 2] At the market line He counted his days One old family ring And a thousand ways To keep the fire lit To keep the name To keep his mother’s words Sharp as flame He sang in a tenor Deep in the dark Took the whole room up With one hard spark [Pre-Chorus] Hear that step Low and slow Cold wind bends He don't fold [Chorus] Brave Russian man Stand up, stand up Brave Russian man Never give up Brave Russian man Stone in his chest Brave Russian man Built for the test (Brave Russian man) (Brave Russian man) [Bridge] When the black night came He didn't run Raised his face to it Like it was the sun One voice strong One heart true If the world goes cold He'll get through [Final Chorus] Brave Russian man Stand up, stand up Brave Russian man Never give up Brave Russian man Stone in his chest Brave Russian man Built for the test (Brave Russian man) (Brave Russian man)
