There was no way they could have known that morning    That they awoke upon a fateful day    The killer wind came down without a warning    and no one had the chance to get away       The firemen were brave they fought with honor    But the blaze was more than it appeared to be    And one by one they fell beside their comrades    The victims of a foe they could not see       chorus:    Mama where are you - Papa where did you go    And where are all the children who used to play here    Only heaven knows       What they saw defied all explanation    Someone said the trees were glowing red    They say the light came from the radiation    But maybe it’s the spirits of the dead       [chorus]       Gone the homes the gardens and the playgrounds    Gone the souls who made their livings here    They say this place will always be a ghost town    It will be for at least six hundred years       [chorus]
