Death crawls through the dark streets in silent flight
Unsuspected while the world sleeps on an April night
Like an unseen enemy reaching out for the kill
Once again writing history by our own free will
Like a virus in a dead land slowly eating away life
Chasing the vision of a blind man in a world without sight

We're sleeping in the dirt of Chernobyl still tonight
Forgotten where we're from, lost in where we've come
We're sleeping in the dirt of Chernobyl still tonight
Dying from inside, poisoned by our pride

Create a monster we can never tame...
The ambition of fallen man
Engineer your grandchild's pain for castles in the sand
Become our own worst enemy while time stands still
Once again repeating history by our own free will
What's left is a ghost town, block homes like tombstones
The dead memory of a showdown that tomorrow won't know

We're sleeping in the dirt of Chernobyl still tonight
Forgotten where we're from, lost in where we've come
We're sleeping in the dirt of Chernobyl still tonight
Dying from inside, poisoned by our pride

Looking down in the eyes of Heaven, it's pride set on fire
If we could see it through the eyes of Heaven...
Just pride set on fire

We're sleeping in the dirt of Chernobyl still tonight
Forgotten where we're from, lost in where we've come
We're sleeping in the dirt of Chernobyl still tonight
Dying from inside, poisoned by our pride
