The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Every now and then
I've got to think again
Of times when life was easy like a game
Every now and then
With nothing much left to retain
I know that it will never be the same
Nevermore the same
Since it burned
Burned down and never stopped
Back then in April 1986
Still it burns
How will it ever stop
If all our house is built of nuclear bricks
Every now and then
I feel it again
My eyes look down so paralyzed with shame
Every now and then
Some tears of fear I can't restrain
Could we have already lost the game?
Lost the game?
'Cause it burned
Burned down and never stopped
Back then in April 1986
Still it burns
How will we ever stop
Our boat that's driftin' downstream on the Styx
And it burned
Burned down and never stopped
Back then in April 1986
Still it burns
How will it ever stop
If we ignore the bomb's increasin' tick
'Cause it burned
Burned down and never stopped
Back then in April 1986
Still it burns
How will we ever stop
Our boat that's driftin' downstream on the Styx
Yes, it burned
Burned down and never stopped
Back then in April 1986
Still it burns
