Midnight Train

The cold
Shadows and alone
The midnight train vanishes as it goes
Pointing fingers, the sky is falling
Ground is caving in, the conductor's calling
The midnight train vanishes as it goes
The midnight train

I often dreamt of sneaking out, running away
Going anywhere that the conductor couldn't find me
But that train could travel any distance and find me anywhere
I knew it and he knew that I knew it
And that is what gave him power
He craved it until it ran like madness through is veins
Scars run deep
And he left scars deeper than most
Like a nightmare he appears, leaving only pain
And hate wherever he goes
Vanishing until time comes he wishes to strike again
Broken and mentally drained I wait for it to end
But the train keeps moving, the blows keep coming
I try to escape but the conductor keeps shouting
Where do you think you're going when you get out of here?
I can find you anywhere.
I keep riding further into the night
My dreams are a bit faded, but they still have light
Like a phantom, I say, we are drifting out of the spotlight
My time is through in this place, I continue
My time is through in this place, I repeat to assure myself
The darkness here now belongs to someone else
I jump to save myself
Pointed fingers, the sky is falling
Ground is caving in, the conductor's calling
But it's too late!
The decision has been made
I'm on the run from the midnight train

Pointing fingers, sky is falling
Caving in, conductor's calling
The Midnight Train
