The Neva Flows - Ramin Karimloo

Be very careful of these rumors that prevail

Be very careful what you say

I was a boy who lived the truth

Behind the tale

And no one got away

I saw the children as the soldiers closed the gate

The youngest daughter and her pride

My father leaving on the night they met there fate

His pistol by his side

The Neva flows

A new wind blows

And soon it will be Spring

The leaves unfold

The tsar lies cold

A revolution is a simple thing

I heard the shots

I heard the screams

But it's the silence after I remember most

The world stopped breathing

And I was no longer a boy

My father shook his head and told me not to ask

My mother said he died of shame

But I believe he did a proud and vital task

And in my fathers name

The Neva flows

A new wind blows

And soon it will be Spring

The leaves unfold

The tsar lies cold

Could I have pulled the trigger if

I had been told

Be careful what a dream may bring

Revolution is a simple thing
