Train To Alemania

Lejos de la capital
entre valles y quebradas
tras un cause de agua
van viejas vías solitarias

leading to a distant land
through the river and the mountains

This one's a story forgotten in time
hidden beyond through the mountains
crossing the valleys into the ravine
railroad has come

People were leaving the city behind
reaching the promise land
the train was the bringer of progress to town
sorrow and tears left behind

People were coming from further away
millionaire contracts were sign on those days
out from the wine grew the pleasure and vice
blest by the touch of the demon's hand

The train carries on reaching to the end
through the valleys and mountains ahead

Now the train carries on
passing through the space and time
the rumbling from the rails
breaks the silence of the night

Now the train carries on
cross the valleys to the dawn
whispers fills the air
from a ghost town that's been left behind

Promise of progress was driven apart
the war on the world had begun
broken illusion, betrayed without cause
the locals begun to leave town

Now the train will fall apart
and the shadows will arise
as the railroad's getting lost into the dark

Now the train carries on
passing through the space and time
the rumbling from the rails
breaks the silence of the night

Now the train carries on
cross the valleys to the dawn
whispers fills the air
from a ghost town that's been left behind

Now the train carries on
passing through the space and time
the rumbling from the rails
breaks the silence in the dead of night

Now the train carries on
cross the valleys to the dawn
whispers fills the air
from a ghost town that's been left back in time
Left behind!
