Lyrics: Sebastian Grihm
Music: Jason Melidonie
tanks and crawler tractors stray under heavy rain
glimming spotlights shiver through alienated fog
echoes of rusty wheels and moaning engines
ponderous armored cars operate in a contaminated forest
demolition machinery
deconstruct and overthrow to bury remnants
toxic rubble - ionized ash
entire villages vanish at the dawn of atom dust
at the dawn of dust
bulldozed radioactive isotopes into mother earth
radioactive waste management
eviction instruments at chernobyl
near surface disposal in the trenches
clay barriers shield the environment
ensure that no trees will grow
on alienated corrupted ground
their roots would penetrate through man-made barriers
shovels as the blades that strike down the atom
buses from the factories of lviv
soviet bulldozers and trucks
demolition combat machinery
armored personell carriers
vehicles involved in the cleanup of the zone
became highly contaminated themselves
remain as lifetime monuments - to serve as soulless heir
lined up in a final appeal
in rassokha and buriakivka
vehicle cemeteries
their trails got lost - tire tracks disappeard
the torn fabric of memories
wrapped in soil and stuck in barbed wire
a fading glimpse of an outlandish world
seen from those the regime was forced to hire
scout robots and choppers with red stars upon side doors
rusty armored roadsters shape the slender rows
steel monsters equipped with blades and claws
dump! remove! show no remorse!
cremate heavy matter at the outskirt of pripyat
from where the administration fled and had left the spot
titan machinery - engines gave man their might
power always seeks to lose itself - to disappear
