Lietuva

Dear friend,

All has beginning and an end,
The world still rolls when we no longer stand
Just close your eyes and take my hand
I'm gonna guide you to my precious land.
Please listen to my story, friend
There are some things you need to understand
Before we go...

Millenium ago we were a tribe called Balts. We roamed the world, looking for a place to settle. Our journey was long and exhausting but we stood strong and reached our goal. The land which we stumbled upon gave us shelter, fed us. We found our home - Lithuania.

You were so short, oh peaceful life
When middle ages came we had to fight
In order to survive..

With time came foes. They urged to fight us, shielding their plot to pillage and destroy with peaceful religion. Crusaders they were called. The war continued for two centuries, with many victories, defeats and an epic battle to end it. Unfortunately, the peace was not ment to be regained. A new threat from East was threatening to devour our fragile freedom. Alliance was needed, therefore Lithuanians and Poles united.

We stood as strong as iron wall,
Too bad our country from inside was ment to fall.

Lithuanians have never faced an enemy as sinister as this before. The country was rotting from inside: noblemen, who where ruling, were much more interested in their own good than country's prosperity, Lithuanian culture was being shunned and suppressed. It didn't take long to see the consequences. Austria, Russia and Prussia tore the country apart, each taking it's share. Lithuania was annexed.

And once again we rose and fought
In order to get rid of this despot.
We shed our blood, we shed our tears
Our might was fierce, we had no fears.

But that was not enough...
It took us three centuries to finally retrieve our freedom. To once again call ourselves Lithuanians.

Now, when you know my story, friend
Just close your eyes and take my hand
My precious land awaits us...
