[Intro] [Verse 1] Beneath a sky of ash and gray, A silent city fades away. Once laughter danced through concrete halls, Now shadows creep where silence calls. The children’s swings hang still in air, Echoes whisper, "We were there." The clock has stopped, the world has turned, And in its wake, the air still burns. [Chorus] Ghosts of Pripyat, hear their cries, Through hollow streets where the spirit dies. A poisoned wind, a glowing night, The past, a specter bathed in light. [Verse 2] The forest crawls with lifeless life, Twisted roots through nature’s strife. The Ferris wheel that never spun, Stands frozen ‘neath a blackened sun. Each breath a gamble, every step a sin, A reaper's grin beneath the skin. The Geiger ticks, a lullaby, For those who stayed and dared to die. [Chorus] Ghosts of Pripyat, hear their cries, Through hollow streets where the spirit dies. A poisoned wind, a glowing night, The past, a specter bathed in light. [Bridge] Reactors hum in iron tombs, A legacy of death that looms. The atom’s pride, the human cost, A paradise forever lost. We thought we’d bend the fire’s will, Instead it taught us how to kill. Now nature mocks our fleeting claim, Its roots reclaim what bears our name. [Chorus] Ghosts of Pripyat, hear their cries, Through hollow streets where the spirit dies. A poisoned wind, a glowing night, The past, a specter bathed in light. [Outro] So here it stands, a cursed ground, Where hope and hubris both were drowned. The tale it tells, a warning grim, Of fragile gods and shadows dim. Ghosts of Pripyat, forever near, A monument to human fear. Their silent screams, the price we pay, For playing gods on doomsday.
