The un-air raid alarms / Безвоздушная тревога - My version #1



1. The Fates once again are changing the scripts -
2. What have been sown shall now be reaped.
3. Casting the dice are a dog and a lion.
4. The rings of old chains are starting to fasten
5. Hiding the curse under the luster.
6. I have been seized by Juerushaliam....

Chorus:
C1. Stay in the row,
C2. Messier Captain of my prodigal soul,
C3. While the city sings the strange lullaby
C4. Of un-air raid alerts.
C5. Go with the flow,
C6. Don't surrender, do not sell yourself low.
C7. Flaring up, raining down from the sky
C8. The un-air raid alerts.


7. The sand in the glass runs faster and faster.
8. Best of intentions have been a disaster.
9. Trouble again in the heavenly shore.
10. Steady Tin Soldier is slumped in the chair.
11. He is surrounded; he is sur-squared.
12. Time to get up and finish this war.



Chorus:
C1. Stay in the row,
C2. Messier Captain of my prodigal soul,
C3. While the city sings the strange lullaby
C4. Of un-air raid alerts.
C5. Go with the flow,
C6. Don't surrender, do not sell yourself low.
C7. Flaring up, raining down from the sky
C8. The un-air raid alerts.

I have to consult with my husband about lines #4, 9, C1, C4, and C6.

The chorus gave me the most trouble, obviously, because of the major points that I wanted to keep about The Steady Tin Soldier being "sur-squared"  and the "un-air raid" sirens don't really land themselves to easy manipulations.

So, i will be tinker some more later.
