Those Who Have Come To The End

6 million people dead is a despicable abomination
And I will be the last to argue that Hitler was a madman...
But there was a hidden holocaust that is very rarely mentioned:
14 million victims in the death-city of Magadan

Where the only time that existed was that of oblivion
And the only space was that of the extermination zone
No one can hear you scream in this most remote part of hell
Where everyone was worked to death at more than 100 below

The crematoriums vomited up clouds of human ash
That fell to the earth as endless blackened snow
And the carcasses of “those who have come to the end”
Are preserved by the millions... entombed in the ice

And so there was no room for a counter-revolution
When a third of the population was arbitrarily culled...
Or disappeared forever into the Lubyanka cellars
Sacrificed to the all-engulfing cult of Josef Stalin
