Railway Forgotten
Words and music by Seth Warren
Your rust-encrusted heart is mine
To have forsaken
Steel wheels jumped over the line
All signals mistaken
Nostalgia and apathy call out
Come with me now, sleep with me now, man
You make your connection and swallow
Roll over the wrong direction
Your moss-covered tracks are mine
Lay down for the trails not taken
Blood-blister, drag down the line
The undergrowth has forsaken
Do you hear the ghosts keep crying?
Walk with us now, dance with us forever
The skull, the stone and the contact
This is our last connection
And now let the Earth reclaim us
Destruction to dust, monuments, rust
There stands here no one to remember
That is how it should be
