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
