lyrics

Last Train
I hear those chains rattling on just like the tune of a sad sad song.
The hammer hits the stone just like the beat of a lonely drum.
I’ve got these shackles on so I’ll just labor on till Kingdom come.
I’ll labor on until I’m dead and gone.


I hear my bones rattling on, it’s my self-composed requiem.
I’ll do the dead man’s dance, I’ll spit and kick to my last breath.
Take my blood and my sweat, just take my last regret.
Take your pound of flesh, but try to leave me some.

Chorus
The tally tolled, the auction sold one and all familiar souls.
The trial’s done, canary’s sung, and you and I have all been hung.
You weary ones lay down your load, your rest is short, long is the road,
And heavy weigh the chain upon your soul.

The Hammer drops my back’s what breaks,
My soul is rocked when these stones won’t shake.
The Requiem Mass plays through the day, and my old bones dance away.
My spirit slips those chains to take a rest in the shade.
You’ll see my bones dancin’ on to that last train.
