Railroads Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hard to believe in, strikes like a bad sin
Life without meaning is no life at all
Dreaming victorious, death to be glorious
Conquering new worlds further than before
[Pre-Chorus]
The violin player in her red gown
Cuts the strings to life while golden
Feathered keys are struggling
Through the lightning path in black and white
Frozen tiger statues 'round us
Arbeit macht frei never back
Your eyes without a face chasing the medals in disguise
[Chorus]
Come show me the love that fills your heart
You'll see this moment will redeem the past
And shine tomorrow railroads with your light
[Verse 2]
Facing the darkness, escaping that madness
I traveled a long way to find out what is near
[Pre-Chorus]
Rings of fire, monastery
Laurel wreath, the bells of glory
Eagle rising, camels fading
Ancient martial arts, we are floating
Spiral keeps on 'round and 'round
Deep into the swamp we are boating
Latin veritas and Ichiban sharing the sky
[Chorus]
Come show me the love that fills your heart
You'll see this moment will redeem the past
And shine tomorrow railroads with your light
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Come show me the love that fills your heart
You'll see this moment will redeem the past
And shine tomorrow railroads with your light
