Dogs of Chernobyl Letra - Megadeth

It was springtime

The minutes simply drifting away

Then everything stopped in the world

(Fallout) Radioactive clouds

(Fallout) Hides the exclusion zone

(Fallout) And you were nowhere to be found

I see your face wherever I turn

There's blood on my lips as my eyes start to burn

You vanished and left me behind

Like one of the dogs of Chernobyl

Where did you go?

Nuclear winter is here

Reactor four's still belching clouds

There's no one left to hear a sound

(On and on, fallout) On and on, I keep searching for you

(But I know, fallout) I know you're never coming back

(Not for me, fallout) Not for me, or for anyone, anywhere, anyway

I see your face wherever I turn

There's blood on my lips as my eyes start to burn

You vanished and left me behind

Like one of the dogs of Chernobyl

Where did you go?

I see your face wherever I turn

My hair's falling out as my skin starts to burn

You vanished and left me behind

Like one of the dogs of Chernobyl

Where did you go?

Vault breach, too close is dead, massive exposure

I must escape and navigate this concrete enclosure

No warning and no pain, only shock and then dread

No one coming, no one going, I'm alive with the dead

Nausea overwhelms my brain, distance is the goal

Stomach spasms, leaking gut, I have lost all control

Saliva gurgling, I'm retching, till I overwhelm the bowl

I ask God in repentance, "Do you still want my soul?"

Bodies strewn everywhere, no need for cremation

Daylight coming into view, I sense there's no salvation

Stagger out into the open, my eyes fixed and staring

Armed patrol, red lights on, the sirens are a' blaring

I am the walking dead, and I'm taken into safety

They ask the time of death because my skin's looking pasty

Transfusions, test tubes, and clinical eyeing

Purulence and decay, my deathly complying

Blankets of smoke, orifices bleed

Bloating bellies, and legs getting weak

Cerebral swelling, organs liquifying

Acute radiation, this is how they die

This is how they die

This is how they die
