Poem-A-Day By BlogTramp Ray - Steelsnake Blues

Steel-snake Blues

Train – train - train of trouble we all ride
prisoners on railcars of the state of mistakes
Blame - blame - blame no one will ever take
Train, train take me home tonight
Railway rage, mechanical earthquake
Tracks of fire, ten thousand tone steel snake
Thunderous speed that rips through rough terrain
We're all tortured on that train
The black skies flashing like a million funhouse mirrors
White lightning cracking while tsunamis crash and roar
Ripping wind. Screaming steam

All aboard, it won't discriminate
One way ride, the train collects its' freight
Gang lords, pimps and politicians too
Train is taking all of you
The heavens lash back like a whip, so deafening
The stars are smashed and burn in angry acid seas
Diamond dust, drowning dreams

Rattling the church walls far and wide
Roaring beast, splitting the countryside
Judgment day is finally arrived
Train, train I don't wanna’ die
Woo, Woo....
…Homeless child, forgotten tonight
Blind and frozen in the engine's light
bleeding from the ol' wounds on the track
Train roars right across his back
Train - train - train of sins we all deny
Rides to Rome to relive mans' demise
Snake of steel with tearing metal teeth
eating way, the toll bridge of eternity--
Train - train train, I don't wanna die!
Train – train, take me home tonight
Train, train take me home tonight
