[Куплет 1]

Once a crown sat heavy on his head
Gold and velvet
Dreams he fed
A quiet man
A father first
In history's tide
A kingdom cursed

[Припев]

O Nikolai
In shadows you fade
A family bound
The price they paid
The bells toll soft
The candles gleam
For the tsar and his kin
A shattered dream

[Куплет 2]

A palace stood
Walls of stone
Laughter echoed
Now alone
The children danced in gilded halls
But fate was cruel
It heard no calls
[Prechorus]
The snow it falls
Whispers low
A secret buried in its glow

[Припев]

O Nikolai
In shadows you fade
A family bound
The price they paid
The bells toll soft
The candles gleam
For the tsar and his kin
A shattered dream

[Связка]

Not a throne but a prison held them tight
Not a crown but the dark of night
A prayer on lips
A tear in the sky
As the world turned cold
Said goodbye
