[Verse 1]
We were on the Russian border when the news began to break
Of a nuclear reactor melting down
Sending deadly clouds of dust into the atmosphere
Just falling down like rain upon the ground

[Pre-Chorus 1]
We were laying in the sun, listening to the radio
When someone said you'd better get inside
We didn't know how serious the situation was
That many people to the north had died

[Chorus]
Red alert, red alert
Screaming in my head
There's something I'm not sure of going down
Red alert, red alert
Screaming in the night
That fallout seems to follow me around

[Verse 2]
We made our way to Hungary, got ready for the show
Thinking we were safe there from the storm
The deadly cloud was high above, taken by the wind
Spreading like a plague across the land
[Pre-Chorus]
A threat you couldn't see, nothing you could feel
Something evil floating in the air
Look towards the east for the danger yet to come
For the Earth we take a silent prayer

[Chorus]
Red alert, red alert
Screaming in my head
There's something I'm not sure of going down
Red alert, red alert
Screaming in the night
That fallout seems to follow me around


[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
We were on the Russian border when the news began to break
Of a nuclear reactor melting down

[Chorus]
Red alert, red alert
Screaming in my head
There's something I'm not sure of going down
Red alert, red alert
Screaming in the night
That fallout seems to follow me around

[Instrumental Outro]
