lyrics

Forces they summoned in Chernobyl:
A might to split the atom
And a power to rival
The great host of light.

On the eve of May 2nd,
A flaming gate to Hell there opened,
Sinking and burning through the floor
In a collision course with Styx,

The price was decided, the sum paid
And three damned souls did cross the Styx
To drain its source and bleed it dry,
That river no one crosses
Without paying toll.

Unsung heroes, they, who gave their lives
To bargain Hades for the millions
Who would never know their names.

“No one will ever know
The sacrifice we made,
No statues in our name,
No ticker tape parade,
And we can only pray,
It wasn’t all in vain.”

Darker and darker their skin grew,
As it fell off their withering flesh.
Buried in lead coffins,
The lids soldered shut;
Their very bodies now weapons of death.
And the count went up by three:
Bezpalov and Baranov, Ananenko.
