| The circle of pitiless ice | B |
| With frozen bloody feet | C |
| And her pestilential summer's | D |
| Fever throb in her brow | E |
| Look in her deep slow eyes | F |
| The mists of her sleep of faith | G |
| Stir and a gleam of light | H |
| The ray of a blood red sun | I |
| Beams out into the dusk | J |
| From far away from the west | K |
| From the east from the south there come | L |
| Faint sweet breaths of the breeze | M |
| Of plenteous warmth and light | H |
| And she moves and around her neck | N |
| She feels the iron scaled Snake | O |
| Whose fangs suck at the heart | P |
| Hid by her tattered dress | Q |
| By her lean and hanging teat | C |
| Russia O land of Faith | G |
| O realm of the ageless Slav | R |
| O oppressed one of eternity | S |
| This darkest hour is the hour | T |

| Lies stretched out at your feet | C |
| Turkey India lo all | W |
| East and south it is yours | X |
| Years years ago a Nation | I |
| Oppressed as you are oppressed | K |
| Burst her bonds and leaped out | Y |
| A volcanic sea wave of fire | T |
| Quenched at last but in blood | Z |
| Though not before the red spray | A2 |
| Dashed the Pyramids the Escurial | W |
| Rome and your own grey Kremlin | I |
| That was the great sea wave | B2 |
| Of a nation that disbelieved | Z |
| Of a nation that had not faith | G |
| What shall the sea wave be | S |
| Of this race of eternal belief | C2 |
| This nation of passionate faith | G |
