Don't forget just how we got here
We've built this on the backs of the unrewarded
They saved their sacrifice
And died a fruitless death
So with my dying breath I beseech you
Soldiers, don't lose your nerve
As you get older
The battle that you fight today
Is the most important
Though their numbers seemed so strong
That winter afternoon
Before the end they all stood on their own
Don't make the mistake of ideological compromises
Consensus won't do you justice
Your passion for your cause
Does all the talking
Men without conscience will deceive your minds, but
Not your heart - unless you let them
The struggle will go on
As long as you keep fighting
Just don't forget how we got here
Don't forget just how we got here
We've built this on the backs of the unrewarded
They saved their sacrifice
And died a fruitless death
So with my dying breath I beseech you
Soldiers, don't lose your nerve
As you get older
The battle that you fight today
Is the most important
The Decembrists' struggle
Of so many years ago
Was a battle to convince themselves
The cause they chose
Was worthy of their blood
When faced with odds they didn't like
They stood and paused in indecision
Our hearts and dreams sank faster than the sun
Men without conscience will deceive your minds, but
Not your heart - unless you let them
The struggle will go on
As long as you keep fighting
Just don't forget how we got here
Don't forget just how we got here
We've built this on the backs of the unrewarded
They saved their sacrifice
And died a fruitless death
So with my dying breath I beseech you
Soldiers, don't lose your nerve
As you get older
The battle that you fight today
Is the most important
Men without conscience will deceive your minds, but
Not your heart - unless you let them
The struggle will go on
As long as you keep fighting
Just don't forget how we got here
