If you see the headlights coming
A smoke stack, billowing high
Racing across the frozen lands
Then you’re watching an engine fly

Taken aback, you wonder
How does it move with no tracks?
Tis then you think you notice
This figure, there, riding its back

You blink your eyes, to focus
Is that a cowboy hat and a big cigar?
Rumored to show up, each Halloween
Riding atop his black metal car

And just like that, he’s gone
You’ll have wait another year
To see this ghostly train go by
With its trusted engineer…unless

Clickity clack, along no track
Once you board, you never come back…

They never knew, from where it came

Its fire blazed, remained untamed

Wheels that spun on rails of steel

Created madness, endless zeal

The Devil’s locomotive roared

As flames, under and over, soared

Left a trail of smoke and ash

An acrid smell, from evil’s clash

Of brethren lives, taken, in vain

To ride, forever, this demon train

Out, on this cold, dark and rainy night
The mist, dimming everything in sight

No matter where I looked for light, no luck
Twas when the noise, of thunder, struck

Caught me off guard, my heart in my throat
Feelings of doom, began to denote

The reason I was here, caught in the storm
Standing alone, on this creaky platform

Waiting impatiently for the train, all along
It’s where I knew, I would always belong

With no lights to guide me, I continue to roam
Yes, the devil has taken the only place I call home

Riding the tracks, to the next place, I’d dwell
I’m boarding this train, next stop, living hell

There is nothing more relaxing

Than the silence of morning

And the sound of a distant train whistle

The gentle falling of the rain

And the whistle of a train

Listen

Do you hear them?

The stars begin to shimmer

And the sky does softly glimmer

Look

Do you see them?

And in dark of night, so deep

In my heart, you’ll always keep

Tell me,

Do you feel it?
