Just Like That!

...yrotciv rof denitsed thgif a ni sresol eht rof kool ot nosaer on si erehT1
 
Do we need to live our lives under vigil eye,
Or should we have to live hiding ourselves? 2
The wind howls in the vast fields, whistling and roaring, 3
They ring to the rays of the stars.
 
Icey fog and a white-wall blizzard,
Through the cities, the winds have awakened.
 
Before my eyes, fire-and-ice clashed,
Who judges who, who'll break the two apart,
All because the wind raised a flag,
Above the highest peaks! Just like that!
 
Should we wake up the filthy pubs for fun,
Or should we care for our arrogance?
We live our lives cutting corners,
But isn't this who we are?
 
Smoke and fire, ash, fire, and smoke,
The wind leads it through the city, like a squad.
 
Before my eyes, fire-and-ice clashed,
Who judges who, who'll break the two apart,
All because the wind raised a flag,
Above the highest peaks! Just like that!
 
Icey fog and a white-wall blizzard,
The wind leads it through the city, like a squad.
Smoke and fire, ash, fire, and smoke,
The wind leads it through the city, like a squad.
 
Before my eyes, fire-and-ice clashed,
Who judges who, who'll break the two apart,
All because the wind raised a flag,
Above the highest peaks! Just like that!
 
Like that!
Just like that!
Like that!
 
  • 1. "There is no reason to look for the losers in a fight destined for victory."
  • 2. Lynch me. Also I think these are supposed to be question marks no periods.
  • 3. They "roar" as-in move at high speeds, and "roar" because they're winds.

Alright me and Panfilov are about to throw hands. My dude over here with the first part I thought was nonsensical jargon actually being a sentence backward. I give him a lot of credit but Jesus...seriously? The passive aggressive asshole in me is going to do what he did and I'll leave you a footnote to know what it is the right direction. It is backwards backwards. Not only are the words flipped but the entire sentence is either. But it is done stylistically (like the sentence is almost a threat to someone nitpicking it like me) and it goes into the song's meaning.

Кто кому судья - more like "who can judge.."
(Ну, либо знание английского меня подводит)

"Прервать полёт" - прервать чью-то в самом расцвете сил жизнь.
См. песню Владимира Высоцкого

I've had "Кто кому судья" from "judge" to "interfere" several times in several renditions so your English is fine. It is hard to find the right way to get this line because it's just so weird. But this does help, and I might have to translate that song you linked into English. But that does make sense, given the line's context. I hope this is better.
