Andrey Makarevich - Flag Over the Castle

One of the greatest songs I've ever heard. And video is also magnificent. The author and singer is Andrey Makarevich - leader of russian rock group "Time Machine". If you want to know what this song is about and do not know the russian, I'll try to translate:
It's so simple to dicide that you're weak,
That you can't change the fate.
It's so simple to bring down the flag.
And to open the gate.
Let the crowd go into your town...
Let them tear flowers down...
And in human turmoil
You'll never be found.
It so simple to know that you're out,
That decisions are made.
Let the others win in the fights
And to get lost of fate...
Half of way behind you
And there's little to do...
To decieve yorself -
That's the easiest thing.
From the pointless wins
You are nothing but tired...
If tommorow has nothing to bring.
Yes, It's hard to protect all the flowers you have,
And to go without light...
To raise your flag on mast of a dream.
Flag is only thing right.
