I remember the sounds of boots on the floor
Then a knock on the door
And a man in a uniform

Me and Sergey was saved by the year we were born
The masks fell off and we tripped in the uniform

Anatoli was different, he was big and strong
The Soviet saw that and told him to come along

Boy, come along

Mother was crying and her tears fell on me
Through a crack in the door we saw about fifty

Young men

Anatoli was the first to climb number four
They fed him some pills and sent him three times more

Helicopters swarm with ghosts at controls
Dropping concrete and lead into the inferno

There's smoke in the air and ash in the mud
It gets in your mouth
It gets in your blood

Anatoli felt something he could not understand
The Soviet now won't even shake his hand
Ostanovis - Don't touch my hand

Alive in the valley of the shadow of death
Are the men they wanted you to forget
A glowing stain on the Soviet soul
From a machine they built, but could not control
Alive in the valley of the shadow of death
Are the men they wanted you to forget
A glowing stain on the Soviet soul
From a machine they built, but could not control

The bus returned as quick as it came
But the men it brought back were not the same

Strong Fathers and husbands and brothers and kin
Lie vomiting covered burns on their skin

Then one at a time their pain went away
With the only reminder a plaque to say

Fire, they fought the fire
Fire, they fought the fire

Alive in the valley of the shadow of death
Are the men they wanted you to forget
A glowing stain on the Soviet soul
From a machine they built, but could not control

Brother don't go
Brother don't go
Brother don't leave me
