Lyrics: keyser

"the unleashed power of the atom changed everything

Save our mode of thinking and we thus drift toward

Unparalleled catastrophes."

- albert einstein

In a nation for a dangerous penchant for secrecy

A dread disaster at chernobyl was concealed

As a poisoning cloud spread over the eastern bloc

Alarming information was reluctantly revealed

An explosion in reactor four - a fire refusing to cease

No containment walls preventing radioactive release

Evidence that peaceful technology had gone awry

More catastrophically than windscale or tmi

Alert - celebration in kiev

Under glowing skies - soviet lies

Alert - in nearby poland

A shower of radiation

Children iodized

Mayday - a day of rejoice

A cry of distress

Severe political fallout - toxic exchange of words

Soviet obscurantism under verbal attack

Abroad outraged countries appeal for information

Met with grudging riposte hesitant placation

At home tass reports no danger - nothing to fear

As deadly elemental isotopes spew into the biosphere

"the unleashed power of the atom ..." - a warning from the past

The benefits of technology are reversed by careless human error

Science once a saviour now an effective destroyer

We must apply our knowledge with care

Entombed in concrete chernobyl will forever remain

A monument to the chilling effects of negligence
