Song recorded from Omnistar East. Audio may sound bad because it was recorded. Lyrics: The sea is spread wide And the waves are storming. Comrade, we're going far away, Far away from our homeland. Comrade, we're going far away, Far away from our homeland. "Comrade, I can't withstand my duty", A fire feeder said to a fire feeder, "The fire doesn't burn in my furnace, I can't keep the steam in my boilers. "The fire doesn't burn in my furnace, I can't keep the steam in my boilers. "You haven't finished your duty, so you can't leave, The driver is displeased. You must go and tell the doctor: If you're ill, he'll give you medicine." (Music) He went up to the deck, unconscious already, His eyes dimmed. For a moment he saw the blinding glare, He fell, his heart stopped beating. The old woman is waiting for her son in vain, When someone tells her, she will cry. And the waves run away from the screw under the aft And their traces disappear in the distance. And the waves run away from the screw under the aft And their traces disappear in the distance.
