Just a simple middle age man worker, a husband, a dad
An ordinary life like other millions out there
There's nothing really special in just saying that
Until his nation was surprised by the nuclear threat
In a second he realized he lost everything he had
In 2 seconds he realized he'll never have it back
An escape could be the key for a better way
His sacrifice was the choice that he immediately made
Radiation alarm raised to level 5
A radioactive cloud is eclipsing the sky
The reactor number 2 is going haywire
The emergency system has just misfired
They want the catastrophe to sound like a simple mistake
But it's the beginning of the apocalypse that human kind made
Thousands of victims and a nation struggling inside
Stuck in a one-way tunnel to our own demise

Kneeled to hopelessness but still he chose to act
But life still is worth though in decline
A silent hero never shows his face
A SILENT SACRIFICE FOR A NATION that will never know his name

It sounds like a suicide but someone's got to do this
He gives his wife and son a last hug and a kiss
It's a mission for the sake of his community
He's aware he's going to die as a volunteer
Not a single tear, not a single regret
Every effort is essential to hold the tragedy back
No one but his family will recall his name
No one but his family to commemorate

A SILENT SACRIFICE
