Midnight Train

Emerging through the darkness
The journey now begins
Brand new wheels are turning
And the whistle tries to sing

The tracks seem to burn in chaos
A long, long trip ahead
Burning coal to carry on
And fire to light the way

A steam engine, wild and free
Riding the rails to eternity

Like a midnight train
An unstoppable beast
Through the sun, through the rain
A mankind unleashed

It's the lifetime's train
A race through joy and pain
A one-way ticket
Trying to find the way
Like a midnight train

The midnight train

We know where it begins
Destination's not so clear
The weight of the journey
Grows as the end draws near

Some stations lie in ruin
Others shine like a dream
And the crossroads ahead
Maybe are not what they seem

A high-speed rail, wild and free
Riding the tracks to eternity

Like a midnight train
An unstoppable beast
Through the sun, through the rain
No way to retreat

It's the lifetime's train
A race through joy and pain
A one way ticket
Trying not to be late
Like a midnight train

The midnight train

Overpass - sky so bright
Underpass - lost in night
Switch the track - left or right
No way back - hold on tight

Faster now - the pressure grows
No slowing down - the fever flows
Blazing hot - engines scream
One wrong turn
Lose the dream

Like a midnight train
An unstoppable beast
Through the sun, through the rain
A mankind released

It's the lifetime's train
A race through joy and pain
A one-way trip
Reaching the light of day
Like the midnight train

The midnight train
