lyrics

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

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 his 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 the place,” I continue, “My time is through in this place,” I repeat to assure myself. The darkness now belongs to someone else. I jump to save myself. Pointing fingers. The sky is falling. The 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.
