Navalniy Speaks
by Moss Bliss
original tune, still in progress

In the streets of Moscow, where the snow falls cold,
Whispers echo through concrete, frighten young and old
In the heart of Russia, where our dreams collide,
I've long walked the path where hopes have died.

(Chorus)

With every breath, I defy,
Tyranny's grasp, I'll never comply.
Darkness, it may try to reign,
But hope persists, love will remain.
In the prison cell where the deepest shadows loom,
I refuse to remain silent in this darkened room.
Though they try to break me, I will never bow
Russia will be free, I make this vow
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
Through the trials, through the pain,
Injustice fuels the fire in my veins.
With every step, I'll fight the fight,
For the people's voice, for what is right.
For every soul that is yearning to be heard,
I will fight on, freedom is my every word.
Long as we have breath, and courage yet remains,
We will sing of freedom, breaking chains.
(Chorus)
(Outro)
In the echoes of history, my story will remain,
A beacon of hope, amidst despair's domain.
For justice and for freedom, we will tirelessly strive,
In the name of truth, I am alive.
