Chernobyl Lyrics by SkyEye

Soldiers of Light

2021

[Instrumental intro]
Left alone in a dark and cold room
Sands of time are running low for me
I am death, creator, a hand of doom
God, please set me free
My blood is turning to water
My skin is burning within
Like a lamb on its way to the slaughter
God, please forgive my sins
Because I am just a mortal man
I was a young lad in 1986
A nuclear physicist without a science degree
Proud of my homeland, a loyal Bolshevik
A Siberian child born on the Bering Sea
Mother Russia, land of the brave
Nuclear power plant built by Communist brain
Soviet monument, a radioactive mass grave
Chernobyl, the devil's town in northеrn Ukraine
Nuclear god, a Soviet machinе
Nuclear god created within
Nuclear god, a Soviet machine
Unaware of the danger approaching
Playing god with this mighty machine
Radioactive fire blazing, a nuclear guillotine
In the core, there’s a silent chain reaction
Heating water, turning rotors around
Uranium cores in deadly interaction
Atoms running wild
But we put trust in the Soviet regime
Unaware of the corrupt Kremlin
Powered by ties, dictated with fear
Anything for a Communist career
Soviet regime, corrupt and mean
Soviet regime, death is upon us, but we don't know why
Red alert, red alert, red alert, explosion to avert
Red alert, red alert, red alert, control rod to insert
Red alert, red alert, red alert, explosion to avert
Red alert, red alert, red alert, time just ran out
The nuclear reactor is damned
The chain reaction is out of control
Pressure is rising, the walls will not withstand
Buttons flashing on the main console
I've tried so hard to turn the tide
And I thought I did everything right
But the Kremlin insisted to resume the test
I had no options left, the emergency button I had to press
The devil has spoken, the nuclear reactor is torn apart
The spell has been broken
But the explosion is merely a start
Radiation, invisible angel of death
Devastation, is this the end, my final breath?
Immolation, the radioactive cloud is heading west
Mortification, Europe on a verge of eternal rest
Comrades, I beg you not to cry
We must save Pripyat before we die
Mystic blue light glowing on an April night
Mystic blue light, Soviet gravesite
Termination, A million souls will die in vain
Observation, acid rain in northern Ukraine
A concrete wall well build all the way to the sky
’Cause we must seal the power plant before we die
Mystic blue light glowing on an April night
Mystic blue light, Soviet gravesite
And so they walked, they walked into certain death
Wearing nothing but an apron and a gas mask on their heads
Dying for our future, saving Europe
Soviet heroes, lying forgotten in radioactive graves
Now you know who to praise, to worship
Soviet men who died to seal the plant
As you cry and wonder why, I say my final goodbye
