Long Dark Train Songtext / Lyric

This long dark train

For years it's rolled

We cry in vain

The doors stay closed

Driven for the few

By sleight of hand

It runs the length

Of this shattered land






But soon the chance will come

The chance to leave this train

And don't forget, don't forget, NO, NO

To never come this way again



Death on the tracks

It rattles down

Past silent yards

Through ghostly towns

Past disused towers

It powers by

It runs on time

It runs on lies



I think I hear the scream of brakes

And just up ahead the buffers wait

The terminal for this long dark train
