There the wolves still hunt
The few humans survive
Gathered into small tribes
Modern people abandoned it
Chernobyl's death was an event
Shattering visions for a future
All turned torment and torture
Disaster beyond modern measure
Relentless sorrow ongoing
We have wounded our mother
In the search for treasures
We should never have begun
Radiation reaches each horizon

The name of the star was Wormwood; and a third of the water turned to wormwood, and men in great numbers died of the water because it was poisoned' [Revelation 8:10]. The Ukrainian word for 'wormwood' is Chernobyl.”
