LyricMeaning

Mayday In Kiev
Watchtower

[Albert Einstein]

The unleashed power of the atom changed everything

Save our mode of thinking, and we thus drift toward

Unparalleled catastrophes.

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
