When the Tigers Broke Free

Pink Floyd

Today, peaceful cities in Ukraine are under attack after Vladimir Putin launched a full scale invasion. A country that poses no threat to Russia. “This is a war of aggression. The world can and must stop Putin. The time to act is now.” - Ukrainian foreign minister Dmytro Kuleba

…It was dark all around
There was frost in the ground
When the tigers broke free
And no one survived
From the Royal Fusiliers Company Z

They were all left behind
Most of them dead
The rest of them dying
And that's how the High Command
Took my daddy from me
