Farewell To Pripjat - Christy Moore[00:00:00]

It was a Friday in April 1986 [00:00:17]

The day that the nightmare began [00:00:22]

When the dust it rained down on our buildings and streets [00:00:27]

And entered our bedrooms at noon [00:00:32]

Touched the grass and the streets bicycles cars [00:00:36]

Beds books and picture frames too [00:00:42]

We stood around helpless confused [00:00:47]

Nobody knew what to do [00:00:52]

At two o'clock on Sunday the buses arrived [00:00:59]

A fleet of a thousand or more [00:01:04]

We were ordered to be on our way [00:01:09]

Not knowing what lay in store [00:01:14]

Some of our citizens fled in dismay [00:01:18]

And looked for a good place to hide [00:01:23]

Four o'clock came and the last bus pulled out [00:01:28]

T'was the day our lovely town died [00:01:33]

And the shirts sheets and handkerchiefs crack in the wind [00:01:41]

On the window ledge the withering plants [00:01:45]

And the Ladas and Volga's are parked by the door [00:01:50]

And the bike's in its usual stance [00:01:55]

Our evergreen trees lie withered and drooped [00:02:00]

They've poisoned our fertile land [00:02:05]

The streets speak a deafening silence [00:02:10]

Nothing stirs but the sand [00:02:16]

A visit back home is so eerie today [00:02:25]

A modern Pompeii on view [00:02:30]

To see all the old shops and the Forest Hotel [00:02:34]

And the Promyet Cinema too [00:02:40]

The mementos we gathered were all left behind [00:02:44]

Our Photos letters and cards [00:02:49]

The toys of our children untouchable now [00:02:54]

Toy soldiers left standing on guard [00:02:59]

So fare thee well Pripyat my home and my soul [00:03:07]

Your sorrow can know no relief [00:03:12]

A terrifying glimpse of the future you show [00:03:16]

Your children all scattered like geese [00:03:21]

The clothes line still sways but the owners long gone [00:03:26]

As the nomadic era returns [00:03:31]

The question in black and white blurred into grey [00:03:36]

The answer is too easy to learn [00:03:41]

And the shirts sheets and handkerchiefs crack in the wind [00:03:48]

On the window ledge the withering plants [00:03:53]

And the Ladas and Volga's are parked by the door [00:03:58]

And the bike's in its usual stance [00:04:03]

Our evergreen trees lie withered and drooped [00:04:08]

They've poisoned our fertile land [00:04:13]

The streets speak a deafening silence [00:04:18]

Nothing stirs but the sand[00:04:24]
