[intro] [verse] The air is thick with invisible dust. Silence screams in the rusted trust. [verse] Green light flashes in the dead of night. Control rods slide out of sight. A spark ignites the core’s deep sleep. Promises we could not keep. The sky turns purple, then bright white. We walked into the blinding light. [pre-chorus] No alarm sounded loud enough. The air became sharp and rough. Taste the metal on your tongue. The song of death has just begun. [chorus] I remember you burned, burned, burned. Ashes falling, lessons learned. City sleeps under concrete shroud. Screams are lost inside the cloud. I remember you burned, burned, burned. Time stops here, no return. [verse] Pripyat streets are empty now. Ferris wheel makes no vow. Dolls lie scattered in the hall. Waiting for a call that won’t fall. Trees grow green through cracked pavement. Nature takes what was spent. [pre-chorus] Radiation lingers long. Right where we all went wrong. Half-lives tick away the years. Washing away our tears. [chorus] I remember you burned, burned, burned. Ashes falling, lessons learned. City sleeps under concrete shroud. Screams are lost inside the cloud. I remember you burned, burned, burned. Time stops here, no return. [bridge] Stone sarcophagus holds the fire. Burying our dark desire. Is it safe to walk again? Or do we still feel the pain? [Interlude – eerie atmospheric synth swell] (Instrumental Solo) [chorus] I remember you burned, burned, burned. Earth and sky both overturned. Ghost town stands as warning sign. Crossing every boundary line. I remember you burned, burned, burned. Forever lost, forever turned.The zone remains, silent and stark. Glowing faintly in the dark.
