Chernobyl

Ashes ashes falling white as snow
Not one branch moves in a single tree, I just want wind to blow
The church of green lies so pristine beyond the atomic glow
The families gone the children hide they don't know where to go

Lead me to the river
Hold me under until I wake
Carry me up the ladder
Into the garden of the snake

An elephant stomps the building in with feet hot as the sun
The black smoke rose as children screamed they all began to run
You think you can put a cloak over the clouds but you didn't do it fast enough
It's all huge fucking waste of time I hope you feel that you're tough

Lead me to the river
Hold me under until I wake
Throw me down the landslide
I'll never forget this mistake

Some time has passed and people too but it's all said and done
And everything looks different now under the bright black sun
I've spent a long time thinking and you just might be the one
To embrace in yellow hazmat and to save me from the gun

Lead me to the river
Hold me under until I wake
Carry me up the ladder
Into the garden of the snake
