Once upon a radioactive ecocide
Where life had turned grey
Left in the aftermath
Abandoned
Abandoned 

Forever loyal to their masters
Awaiting and protecting
Until the light would shine again
Until they would reunite 

And when that day did come,
They welcomed their masters
With unconditional love,
With unconditional love
Only to face betrayal
Betrayal 

They were given no mercy
They were given no mercy 
As their masters shot them down 

The dogs of Chernobyl
Died wondering why
They died wondering why 

Once upon a radioactive ecocide
Where life had turned grey
They died wondering why
They died wondering why
