Odessa Songtext
von Blacklist

A memory
The blue-black sea
Swineherds and Shepherds
The Golden City

Old and New
And the Greek Bazaar
Before and after
October′s Hero

The shades of all the faces
Change
All the different names
Bring fear

Razing the uncharted underground
The city above sings along
And out of the past into the Black Sea night
We still can't see but at least we′re less blind
On this unwelcoming sea


The riots came
Some left the town
Some forgot the spirit
Of the porto-franco

Then the buildings rose
In that imperial style
Another New Harmony
It always ends the same way

The shades of all the faces
Change
All the different names
Bring fear

Razing the uncharted underground
The city above sings along
And out of the past into the Black Sea night
We still can't see but at least we're less blind
On this unwelcoming sea

Too many myths
Make swelling heads
But those real glories
Are underneath the surface


Pushkin′s paradise
Or a civil war?
One or the other
Both tempt the future

The shades of all the faces
Change
All the different names
Bring fear

Razing the uncharted underground
The city above sings along
And out of the past into the Black Sea night
We still can′t see but at least we're less blind
On this unwelcoming sea
