[00:10.69]Be very careful of these rumors that prevail
[00:15.20]Be very careful what you say
[00:19.10]I was a boy who lived the truth behind the tale
[00:23.43]And no one got away
[00:28.85]I saw the children as the soldiers closed the gate
[00:33.91]The youngest daughter and her pride
[00:38.20]My father leaving on the night they met their fate
[00:42.56]His pistol by his side
[00:47.59]The Neva flows
[00:50.00]A new wind blows
[00:52.60]And soon it will be spring
[00:57.35]The leaves unfold
[00:59.81]The tzar lies cold
[01:02.44]A revolution is a simple thing
[01:13.72]I heard the shots
[01:16.30]I heard the screams
[01:18.29]But it's the silence after I remember most
[01:23.50]The world stopped breathing
[01:28.29]And I was no longer a boy
[01:36.87]My father shook his head and told me not to ask
[01:41.89]My mother said he died of shame
[01:45.92]But I believe he did a proud and vital task
[01:50.61]And in my fathers name
[01:55.39]The Neva flows
[01:58.48]A new wind blows
[02:01.15]And soon it will be spring
[02:06.90]The leaves unfold
[02:08.73]The tzar lies cold
[02:14.55]Could I have pulled the trigger
[02:16.63]If I'd been told
[02:24.19]Be careful what a dream may bring
[02:29.30]A revolution
[02:32.76]Is
[02:34.85]A simple thing
