Hear the sound of footsteps  
Coming down the stairs  
Junior students weep unseen
Gathering in classroom 
They once were keen

It's stalemate in the index  
Where all their grades are flawed
Hopes and dreams  
All is gone  
There's no glory to be won

Know that many of you will suffer
Know that many of you will fail
130 grades at stake 
Ask the hall B1-H24

And As the hour strikes the Tzar calls
And the exam carries on and on
How long ?
What is the purpose of it all
What is the price of a semester ?

Dozens of pens click to the beat
Its the students on their march
Long way from home
Paying the price in young men's grades
Dozens of hands shake in fear
It's the students in despair
Knee-deep in shit
Stuck with Klimek with no way out

Dozens of sore eyes,
Kept on reading through the night
Watchmaker of light, wrecks the scene
No hope left in men, that once were keen

Still a deadlock in the index
Where the grades remain flawed
Sill no glory have been won
Know that many of you have suffered 
Know that many of you have failed  

Six exams in session have been taken
130 grades are gone
And as the students beg, the Tzar called
And the session carried on and on
How long ?
What is the purpose of it all
What is the price of a semester ?

Dozens of pens click to the beat
Its the students on their march
Long way from home
Paying the price in young men's grades
Dozens of hands shake in fear
It's the students in despair
Knee-deep in shit
Stuck with Klimek with no way out

Students are failing 
They pay the price
Oh how they struggle
So tell me what's the price of the semester

That's the price of the semester  
  
Dozens of pens click to the beat
Its the students on their march
Long way from home
Paying the price in young men's grades?
Dozens of hands shake in fear
It's the students in despair
Knee-deep in shit
Stuck with Klimek with no way out
```
