Steel bolts and a rusted gear
The scent of the ozone near
We walk where the grass is dead
With bolts and a heavy tread
Oh carry me past the wire
Into the electric fire
Red Forest Road leads the way
Until the sky turns to grey
A bolt in a copper hand
A map of a broken land
The Geiger is clicking fast
The peace of the world is past
I saw a red flare ignite
Cutting the black of the night
We hide in a concrete shell
Inside of a metal hell
Oh carry me past the wire
Into the electric fire
Red Forest Road leads the way
Until the sky turns to grey
The wind blows a bitter tune
Under a sulfur moon
Hold on to the leather strap
We fell for the Zone's own trap
The artifacts glow in gold
A story that must be told
We trade for a bottle of rye
Under a heavy sky
Oh carry me past the wire
Into the electric fire
Red Forest Road leads the way
Until the sky turns to grey
Red Forest Road
Red Forest Road
Just follow the road home
