Liquidators - Pripjat

Tons of burning graphite

Blowing up the sky

Spreading the deadly disease

A damage for eternity

A slow way to die

Time will bring no release

The chain reaction is raging

Bring hell to earth

An incident no one can reverse

But they are the chosen ones

The honour to serve

The task is to liquidate death!

When technology fails

It’s time for us to act

40 seconds of glory

And then, we die!

Six hundred thousand heroes

Working side by side

We are the Liquidators

Our country’s pride!

The reactor keeps burning

No chance to control

Even the machines destroyed

So they use their bare hands

A shovel of sand

Desperate containment

An unknown threat

Based on a lie

A medal the price for a life

No hero tales

No songs of glory

Even after decades no one is sorry.

I can taste the iron in my mouth

And realize that I want survive

Because it is the taste of death
