Some will die in hot pursuit
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain

Great book. I read it many years ago and still have a copy.
Another great book about the gulag system and amazing insights into the Soviet mindset is called Man is Wolf to Man.
I highly recommend it. Someone on GB told me about it years ago.
"In our country the lie has become not just a moral category but a pillar of the State."
Was he speaking of the USSR or ???
His book, "One Day in the life of Ivan Denisovich" gives a good picture of what it meant to be in a Soviet prison work camp.
