(The oppressors and invalidators...
They know who they are)
1. Gli Obliterati
(Gli oppressori e gli invalidatori...
Loro sanno chi sono)
2. Natalia
(A Russian "Everywoman"...Many Natalias have passed this ways)
Moved by the spirit when her country was young
Natalia danced to the moon and the sun
Condemned as a heathen they stole her away
A priest lit her fire on her judgement day
A thousand years on, no chance to rest
Natalia's baby lay still at her breast
Begging for bread at the palace's gate
A royal bullet fired and sealed her fate
Oh Natalia, the woman you could be
Oh Natalia, a chance to set you free
Broken balalaikas, no chance to fly
Natalia dared to ask a man why?
From a red train Siberia bound
Her frozen body was never found
She cried out rejoicing, "Freedom at last!"
But her purse fell empty, again why she asked
A poisoned drink from a woman dressed in mink
Took Natalia's life, a cry in the wind
Oh Natalia, the woman you could be
Oh Natalia, a chance to set you free
