Freight Train

Steam blows into the night
Wheels of steel they keep on turning
"Faster!" screams the wight
In the stove the coal is burning

Speed is the new god
Pumping iron, oil and blood
Men become machines
Every progress feeds on dreams

The smoke sucks in the light
The engineer can't breathe no more
It takes away his sight
The metal demon takes his soul

A mind turned insane
A dying flame
The cherubs are calling his name
You can't stop the freight train

Doubtful destiny
A ticket traded for a lie
Payed with liberty
Rails of fire mile for mile

A mind turned insane
A dying flame
The cherubs are calling his name
You can't stop the freight train
