They stood against a rain of bombs,
Russian siege guns pounded away,
Tanks and fire thrown at them,
Day after day after day.
Their President said they could surrender,
He said they’d done enough,
But they would not bow to the foeman,
To Russian dreams they were MacDuff.
Some say they are a disreputable sort,
But for now let us simply observe,
They are warriors of highest caliber,
Give them the honor they deserve.
They stood their ground against the horde,
They stood, they would not kneel,
Only when ordered did they concede,
They, the Soldiers of Azov, they are the Men of Steel
