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]
