 Rate Mayday In Kiev
Artist : Watchtower
Song : Mayday in kiev
Music: Jarzombec, Keyser Lyrics: Keyser "The
unleashed power of the atom changed everything
save our mode of thinking, and we thus drift
toward unparalleled catastrophes."
- Albert Einstein In a nation for a
dangerous penchant for secrecy A dread disaster
at Chernobyl was concealed As a poisoning cloud
spread over the Eastern Bloc Alarming information
was reluctantly revealed An explosion in Reactor
Four - a fire refusing to cease No containment
walls preventing radioactive release Evidence
that peaceful technology had gone awry More
catastrophically than Windscale or TMI Alert -
Celebration in Kiev Under glowing skies - Soviet
lies Alert - In nearby Poland A shower of
radiation Children iodized Mayday - A day of
rejoice A cry of distress Severe political
fallout - toxic exchange of words Soviet
obscurantism under verbal attack Abroad, outraged
countries appeal for information Met with grudging
riposte, hesitant placation At home, TASS reports
no danger - nothing to fear As deadly elemental
isotopes spew into the biosphere "The unleashed
power of the atom ..." - A warning from the past
The benefits of technology are reversed by
careless human error Science, once a saviour, now
an effective destroyer We must apply our knowledge
with care Entombed in concrete, Chernobyl will
forever remain A monument to the chilling effects
of negligence
