The Woman of Ukraine

from After the End by Joustene Lorenz

/

about

Violent people seek power and choose war. They inflict their horrors on those of us who choose a productive peace. Vladimir Putin conceives of himself as the warrior prince, but he is no match for the resilience and courage of Ukrainian women. While Putin chooses death, women bring forth life.

This song tracks the life and experience of one woman who is forced to flee her city and live in the forest, trying to survive the violence. Her name is Ludmilla Timoshenko.

lyrics

1.
There’s thunder rolling through the streets,
The sound of their artillery,
There’s fighting on the border.
More hate and blood and slaughter,
They’ll soon be coming after me.

2.
Brutal power and violent men,
Scattering the fields with carrion,
They burned our houses
And took away our gods,
Leaving nothing but our dream of revenge!


Chorus
Feel like Revelation is coming,
Feel like Revelation is coming,
Feels like Revelation is coming,
Feels like Revelation is coming.

3.
In our Homeland we become exiles,
Exhausted by the fear and fight,
We live in the forest
With God’s beauty all around us,
Scavenging our food to survive.

4.
So we hide in the lost trails of light,
Where we evade and raid our enemies at night,
And your guns alone won’t save us
From the powers that enslave us,
To deny the sanctity of our lives!

Chorus
Feel like Revelation is coming,
Feel like Revelation is coming,
Feels like Revelations is coming,
Feels like Revelations is coming.

Coda
Sacred Places,
Sacred Places,
Sacred Places,
Sacred Places.
