My Black Flag

The wind of civil war has brought
The scent of freedom
My revolution crushed the chains
I kneel no more
The time has come to live the dream
Defy the evil
The brotherhood of equal men
Will roam the world.

From Hulai Pole we shall rise
Decrepit order will demise
The hour has struck
We write our history
Your ataman is me.

I claim no power to myself
I am a mirror
Assembled army to protect
The common man
Not Red nor White, refuse to side
With lesser evil
Upon intruders I shall send
The black brigade.

My black flag
For struggle of my people
My black flag
For color of my soil
My black flag
Equality is freedom
My black flag
Anarchy is mother of law.

Tachanka and my sword
My struggle and my word
Master to no man
I am the Ataman.

My body’s broken, I betrayed
the grand ambition
The end of visionary’s bleak in
Foreign land
new generations carry on
Complete my mission
no deadly weapon ever stopped
The black brigade.

Nagant and sword are by my side
Until our last breath we shall fight
The hour has struck
We write our history
Your ataman is me.

My black flag
For my people
My black flag
For my soil
My black flag
Is freedom
My black flag
Anarchy is law!
