The riffs are good. The irony of the lyrics is that the anthem can be sung by both sides of the conflict, and the ones who've smelled dead bodies won't be the ones listening to it. There is nothing heroic in the war for me. In other times I would appreciate the lyrics, maybe even as speed metal. But the only music association with that war that I have right now is doom metal with a footage of dead in the dirt covered with the snow of passing winter.

Thanks for your opinion and glad you like the reefs!

Actually, the meaning of lyrics was not about the war as such. It`s about people risking their lives for the freedom and security of their country and families.

I`ve been living in Ukraine all my life and when rockets are constantly flying over your head, I can say with confidence that war is the worst thing that people could do! I am not a warrior and I understand that now I can sleep peacefully only for the reason that the heroes defending our country from invasion are risking their lives. I'm proud of them and this song is our tribute to them.
