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
