Lyrics
Strength in torment, grasping
Holding out that he'll survive
Holding on, he's still alive
Holding out that he'll survive
Strapped to his bed
Thrashing from his wounds sustained
Radiation sickness
A plague that's gripping the skin
He feels everything
A needless accident
Caused by corporate negligence
A nuclear event
With no protection
Now the worker suffers
A man with family
Now his wife and child
Look on in helplessness
Shallow breathing
Used force to compress the lungs
Shallow breathing
Agony has just begun
Shallow breathing
Used force to compress the lungs
Shallow breathing
Agony has just begun
Holding on, he's still alive
Strength in torment, grasping
Holding out that he'll survive
Holding on, he's still alive
Holding out that he'll survive
While holding out that he'll survive
Skin is falling off
But nerve endings are still intact
Doctors and nurses scramble in vain
But there is nothing to take the pain
Organs are failing from damage sustained
Pray for a Hemorrhage to kill the brain
Now the debt for greed demands its due
Now a man lies dead because of you
It takes and takes and takes until you're through
Now there's nothing else that you can do
You'll never understand
No work done by hands
Ten thousand paper cranes
Could never save a man
