lyrics

Colossal reactors, separate fact from fiction
Modern cities with huge steam turbines
Citizens kept in the dark
A political nerve racking atmosphere

Catastrophes happen when a large system
Fails and gets so out of sync
The reactor became unstable and crashed,
Its golden promise and rapid vanishing past

A shimmering pillar of blue-white light shot in to the night sky
A chain of toxic exposures that restructured the landscape

Conspiracy of silence extends far more widely
The atmosphere that caused it and the after effects
Obsession to control an endless source of power
Impossible targets were set

Everyone involved in the disaster was a victim
A rat race to build a nuclear program
Abysmally poor planning
Disregarded rules caused the meltdown

A shimmering pillar of blue-white light shot into the night sky
A chain of toxic exposures that restructured the landscape
The chaos and devastation of the explosion extended far and wide
Dread and confusing information, the world was spinning out of control

Внимание-внимание!

Внимание-внимание!

Внимание-внимание!

Уважаемые товарищи!

Городской совет народных
депутатов сообщает,

что в связи с аварией на Чернобыльской
атомной электростанции города Припяти

складывается неблагоприятная
радиационная обстановка.

Партийными и советскими органами,

воинскими частями
принимаются необходимые меры.

Однако, с целью обеспечения
полной безопасности людей,

и в первую очередь детей,

возникает необходимость провести
временную эвакуацию жителей города

на эвакуационные пункты Киевской области

Просим соблюдать спокойствие,

организованность и порядок
при проведении временной эвакуации.

A shimmering pillar of blue-white light shot into the night sky
A chain of toxic exposures that restructured the landscape
The chaos and devastation of the explosion extended far and wide
Dread and confusing information, the world was spinning out of control
