WWG1WGA - WW2 - ROADS TO MOSCOW - AL STEWART - 1973

The song is from the point of view of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. He was a Soviet Soldier in WWII who fought against the Nazis during their invasion of Russia and was later part of the attack on Berlin at the end of the war. He was captured for one day by the Nazis and was released. The Soviets killed or imprisoned Russian soldiers who were released by the enemy because they were considered "contaminated", so when the war ended Solzhenitsyn was imprisoned in a Gulag.

Hence the line: "And I wonder when I'll be home again and the morning answers never". He never did go home after the war. He was tortured in a Gulag until 1953 but was eventually exiled and had his citizenship revoked. During his exile he wrote several books, including "The Gulag Archipeligo" which was banned in the USSR until the Soviet Union fell. The lyrics are based on passages from that book.

"The Gulag Archipelago" by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn (in three volumes)
