A train-a-coming
bullet rolling fast.
Coal burning
engines on full blast.
Hauling the tail of traces
trail of smoke and heat.
A train-a-coming
fire underground.
A fuse burning
and a rumbling sound.
Hauling the tales and faces
carving the face of the earth.
Glasses tinkling softly
filled with blood red wine.
Finger tapping mildly
lazy seated sign.
Bored of the time that's wasted
going nowhere but ahead.
A figure nearing
pale against the black.
A man awaiting
standing by the track.
All of the time that's wasted
Is the gold you can never get back.
All of the time that's wasted
Is the gold you can never get back.
Howling in the wind
running downhill
Howling with the power
Hauling the might
Into oblivion
A train-a-coming
fire underground.
Rolling and ripping
swallowing all sound.
Hauling the tales and faces
carving the face of the earth.
Hauling the tales and faces
