Megadeth - Dogs Of Chernobyl lyrics

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
