[Deep diesel train horn, long low 3 second blast, echoing in the distance]
[evil laughter fade into the intro]
[Intro]
Black smoke in the air
Shivers flowin’ through my veins
Im on a one-way ride
Straight through the burning plains
[Verse 1]
Cinders on the window
Scorched by every drop
The wheels keep screechin’
Thunderin’ beneath my feet
my name’s carved in the iron
Now the whistle’s calling
To the edge of razed land
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that roar?
That’s my doom
Every mile
Drags me through
No turning back
No second chance
The devil’s grinning
At my last dance
[Chorus]
No last stops
No saving grace
Black smokestack sky
The heat burning my face
No turnin’ back from where I’m ground
I’m hell bound
[Verse 2]
Red glow below provides the only light
Past pale faces in the glass
I don’t see no station in sight
Every prayer just burns to ash
And sulfur is all I breathe
I hear the axles screamn’
Draining’ what’s left of me
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that roar?
That’s my doom
Every mile
Drags me through
No turning back
No second chance
The devil’s grinning
At my last dance
[Chorus2]
No last stops
No savin’ grace
Black smokestack sky
Soot and ember fills this place
The heat burning my face
Steel and coal become my grave
No last rites, my soul enslaved
No turnin’ back from where I’m ground
I’m hell bound
[Bridge]
Now the dark is wide open
And the iron starts to bend
I see every lie I lived
Laughing in the furnace
At the devil’s circus
With my shadow at my side
Strapped in for the final ride
I’m still riding on the line
Made by my own design
[epic solo]
[Final Chorus]
No last stops
No savin’ grace
Black smokestack sky
Soot and ember fills this place
The heat burning my face
Steel and coal become my grave
No last rites, I know it now (now…now…now…)
No turnin’ back from where I’m ground
I’m fuckin’ hell bound
[slow rolling diesel train bell, deep metal tolling, echoing in the distance]
