Helltrain

From the darkness springs the train,

Drumming down a lonely path,

Fueled by coals of sinful wrath.

A whistle shriek and then it’s here;

Burning up at Platform Fear.

--

Step aboard and don’t look back,

Run the line of demon’s track.

Carriage coach and wine turned sour;

Brethren’s flesh to be devoured,

Knives to pierce the meat of soul,

And taste the tender mortal whole.

“ Eat,” say specters of the dark;

They serve you Man in platters stark.

--

Oh the angels weep but there’s no chance,

To end this locomotion’s dance,

Chugging by the hymns of bell,

Past the Church and into Hell.

--

From the fore comes chilling laughter,

And in the darkness looms disaster.

Track of bones goes on no more;

Here’s the stop at Satan’s door.

--

Outside ‘low there comes a callin’:

“Nothing saves those who’ve Fallen.”

So cry now, cry, but spare repentance;

Embrace damnation of your Sentence.-

--

Helltrain, helltrain down the track;

Break the dreaming sinner’s back;

Spiral downwards with the world;

In your flames our sins unfurl.

--

Helltrain, helltrain, the lines are laid;

Destroy our pseudo-masquerade.

Run the lines of greed and lust;

Slickened wealth and piston-thrust.

Our world is open for your glory;

It’s time to end this tragic story.

--

On Platform Fear I wait with others,

Claim my heart and then my brothers’.

You suck the strength of all believers;

Blood turns and boils with your fever.

--

Consumed by lust,

Consumed by fire,

Eaten up by self-desire.

Endless pain,

We’ve gone insane.

It’s a one way train,

A one way train.

A hell-bound train.
