1. REACT OR RECEDE

Control Room of Block 4 full with nervous engineers
Preparing safety test, deactivating A.C.S. (Automatic Control System)
Chief engineer demands a 200 MW performance
Contrary to regulations, 700 MW is the low limit

Submissive the - nuclear energy
The rank defeats - the sanity

Water-level in the steam separator is too low
Grave decision: reactor is shutting down
Below - tax sticks removed - reactor reboot

Stupidities disguised as orders
The logic doesn't do any resistance

Test will be executed
Flash point inside the core
Emergency shutdown
Pressure tubes explode, blackout complete
A second explosion instant
The shock wave pulverizes all boundaries
Risk is just a theory, power is our reality

700 tons radioactive graphite spread out in the factory
50 tons atomic fuel blown into the sphere, gases pour out
Radioactive shine makes survivors burning inwardly
Walls of concrete buckle like rubber, erased stability

No lights, dust and darkness
Skinning steam and a cruel hissing sound
Burnt malformed, ablaze humans
Recognizing themselves just by voice
Common in dying, bounded by acid
Acute radiate illness

The final sight of the stars
Shining in the black night
Through the broken ceiling


2. ...IN A COMPLEX VELOCITY

As you have pulled the trigger
You signed your death sentence
The cancer digests the life
Disintegrate in an enormous speed

Your intellect is limited in theoretic
Reality discrepancy of divergence
Hysteria of imbalance

Resign to the chaos, resign to the reactor
Radiation is tracking down the weakness of the body
Complete infiltration
Perforated organs, sickening from within
Dissolving entrails decay, all-embracing enemy
Invisible assassins squad, obtains the top
Dead zone activation, steam cell putrefaction
Enter the final stage to face your own inability
Rotting to the core, the origin of property
Your paltry human soul is passing away
Among a burst colossus, decomposed M.A.C.H.I.N.A.
Fulfill the purpose, faulty unbeliever

Simple human mind; lame recognition
False interpretation; low - reaction - level

The disaster prevails all humans it inhales on the zero-grounded power plant
Beyond all the limits an elimination process and out-leveling in ascendancy

Immune system collapsed virulent staggering in trance on the plant
Apocalyptic circumstance suffer in your own reality

Dehumanizing disaster in a complex velocity

Miscarriage and crippling as delayed effects
As heir for you children, declare the fault as unknown
The descendants are in to pay for what you had done
At a contaminated place, called as home
Sleeping cancer surrounds them as perceptible danger
The scars of time disappear only in decay
Forsaken boundaries, outnumbered complexity
Blind complexity

Simple human mind; lame recognition
False interpretation; weak blind reaction


3. HUMAN MUD

The indelible magma is glowing spilled deep beyond the surface
Tons of nuclear fuel establishes a meltdown of sand and iron
Contact with water underneath, 5-megatons-explosions as consequence
Europe will be erased, uninhabitable and contaminated

Dropping tons of lead, a solution of simplicity
Scheduled for sealing it vaporizes in atmosphere
Like the souls of the 600 pilots
Radiation scanners are overtaxed with the values
17 days after the collapse there is only one way

Processing humans to mud
Swapping men for ground
Forcing miners from TOULA
To dig their own grave

Men out of dust, men of courage
Unable to decide about their existence
Dragged into the zone to dig the tunnel
From block 3 to block 4

Work out a room for cooling system
10000 miners work in layers
Under 9000-fold of critical dose
No time to rest, no time to ease

Creeping beneath the magma of the core
To hot for protective clothing
Workers on acid with oxygen deficiency
On the final excavation
You got just one month even if you need three
For shoveling 150 meters

The commanders demand your life as final fee
Even creeping to death they still have to follow her leaders
Unexplained about the danger and the risk
See your comrades melt to mud

Mine out human mud
Mine out body ground

2500 dead miners
Registered in no statistic

Mud


4. PLUTONIUM HEAVEN

The natural vestibule; scorched by a fire blast
Impressive, protective forest; burnt, carbonized in ash

The wind reclaims position; rummaging ground and land
Lifting radioactive particles up; atomic component transport

Dried-out, moulded, by the tide its spread all over, in search for receiving
Eurnace skyline, wind controlled territory, delivery port of disease
Invisible missiles, unnoticed fired, the conquering begins
Sky is filled with helicopters, scanning, to classify the grade of destruction

No emergency alert is exclaimed
Silence and slow-downed isolation
Be silent and take no serious notice
Acid rain, the taste of lead
In the mouths of the civilian population
Over Ukraine, Russia, moving into the west
The campaign of the gliding cancer strike force
Dropping permanently lethal cargo down to earth

The threat is turning with the wind on the first of may
Contaminated Kiev, population kept in town
Left in silence, rest in peace
Feel so sure, breathing air in gorgeous ease

Duty of media
Fulfilled insignificant
Tiny article on page 3
Dropped at the bottom line
Step down from the throne
Deigning to the evacuation
For the humans it's far too late
Cultures ripped from their land
Lives are bound to end
This is a war, no way to prevent
Without guns, tanks and strategies
Just an invisible enemy, almighty superior

Radiation is raining down

The death comes from above, acid rain trespasses all boundaries
Biogenetic disposals, a wasteland in corroding ash
Inhaling the acid, consume the virus and waste yourself
Imploaded inward substance separated life forms remain

Inward


5. 2 MINUTES FOR 2 YEARS

The reactor as a sea of despoilment - exit area
Bury the competence, arise in ash
Collective collapsed in a pandemonium - acting trivial
It's the fee reality in the invoice of science

No time to inform the subordinates
About the longs of atrocity

Act in discipline
Forget what you have been
Mercenary of doom
Search for ascendancy
Determine the unknown
Execute your commands
Sterilize all doubts

Mercenaries, prototypes, determining the unknown
Determine - the unknown!
Determine - the unknown death!

Soldiers replacing robots, to clean the roof tops
Evaporated in atomic fog, a muted work flock
Reprimanded by duty and driven by dense obedience

Recruited cannon fodder shoveling atomic waste
Contaminated garbage in bare hands, new identity
New identity

2 minutes in the reactor
For 2 years of army
Even seconds are sufficient for contamination
Entrails alienated filth brutal radiation
Militia years credited for the gas mask service
3000 lives get dumped

Be proud of your
Collected merits
Your last mission is
To waste yourself
Yourself
Soiled and gone

7. SOLEMNITIES OF MARY

A lovely day in may, the sun is shining
Prepare for the proud may solemnities
Wear your best clothes, revalue yourself
Chest out, back straight and walking tall

Follow the tradition, fulfilling customs
Free your mind and honour the state
Your whole town is contaminated
No reason to cancel the event

We can evacuate you reviled later
When the time has passed
If it is too late we have no rush
And can proceed prudent

Cartridges re-recorded or removed
Films disappeared from the archives
All photos of that day were confiscated
Getting routine in hushing occurrences

Only a set of pictures survived the cleaning
No memories, no fingerprints, no faults detected
Igor Kostin's secret archive of pure truth
One memory, 10 fingerprints, one life infected

Politburo has selected an idiot
He hides his uncertainty and wearing his poker face
High-profiled figure-head of reputation
Side by side, in acid air
Celebrate with the civilians you doomed
But the fault weights heavily
And to free himself the man of state
He reaches for the rope and hangs himself

You are dead, guilty and contaminated
