spy through the keyholes of the world they once shut
a world they were forced to exit
26th of april - ionized fires enlight a fateful night
blast wave pierced through senses
citizens crawl out of their hutch
sneak for a spot to realize
catch a glimpse in the eye of the torch
at the distant powerplant - from the bridge of janov
the chest tremble under hidden hammers
propelled by an unknown forge
parents and children don‘t dare to sleep
curiousness keeps wake with the burning core
the core in the distance of 2 kilometers
pripyat connected with the rest of the world
and transmits the ionized deathwave to the vantage point
a pulsating fatal border - transition of the staring dead
eyes stare to the fire
of a pulsating reactor
the herd gathers together
to be safe from the horror
stand and stare into the own doom
gamma rays - radiation death gloom
perforating the residents
radiation death sentence
eyes inherit the suffering
that the mind multiplies
to see in countless distant places
the misery that lay in front
step over into a new age
zero half-life remains
specific statistics got erased
like the souls swept from janov bridge
eyes stare to the fire
of a pulsating reactor
the herd gathers together
to be safe from the horror
marsh reeds mist covers the city
janov station - night trains - urge for security
noises echo under a fallen elevation
where cries got carved to the bridge stone foundation
