K-141 Kursk - Wolf

One morning in August it’s time to go

Duty awaits us we’re strong and we’re proud

Farewell to our loved ones

Waving to us from the shore

Sail out to sea in this monster of steel

Russian technology, war horse supreme

One hundred and eighteen men

Submerged in the Barents Sea

Dive!

Dive!

We’re playing our part in the political game

The cold war was lost but our image must remain

Strong and proud

So we proceed with this doomed exercise

Torpedo was loaded in tube number four

Corrosion, bad welding, one malfunctioning door

The blast killed the seven men in there

And sank the submarine to the bottom of the sea

Dive!

Dive!

Twenty three men waiting in the dark

Captain Lieutenant Kolesnikov in charge

Tell us what to do

Can anyone hear our screams?

One hundred and eight meters under the surface of the sea

Dive!

Dive!

Into the void
