KILLING TRAIN

KILLING TRAIN

Oh….  Oh….  Oh…..Oh….

Killin’ Train…

Killin’ train, Killin’ train,

Killin’ train, Killin’ train,

CHORUS

      Will you ride the killing train?

      Will you ride the killing train?

      Will you ride the killing train?

Verses

Killing train, killing train

Runs on blood, rails insane

Raging flood in a hurricane

Killing train, killing train

Numbers in a file down the drain

Children dying please explain

Can we stop……..the killing train?

Can we stop……..the killing train?

CHORUS

      Will you ride the killing train?

      Will you ride the killing train?

      Will you ride the killing train?

Verses

Killing train, killing train

Ain’t no devil, human stain

Spirit level, Curse of Cain

Killing train, killing train

Future’s lost, wealth is gained

Oceans crossed, ball and chain

Can we stop……..the killing train?

Can we stop……..the killing train?

Verses

Killing train, killing train

Runs on money, people’s pain

Think it’s funny, ain’t no game;

Killing train, killing train

Stacking bodies, got no names

Desert ovens, mountain flames

Can we stop……..the killing train?

Can we stop……..the killing train?

Oh….  Oh….  Oh…..Oh….

Killin’ Train…

Killin’ train, Killin’ train,

Killin’ train, Killin’ train,

CHORUS

      Will you ride the killing train?

      Will you ride the killing train?

      Will you ride the killing train?

Verses

Killing train, killing train

Bridge is out, no refrain

Hand of God, open veins;

Killing train, killing train

Rolling boxcars on the chain

Broken scars, blistered brains

Killing train, killing train

Ain’t it clear, ain’t it plain

Cultured fear, tyrant’s reign;

Can we stop……..the killing train

Can we stop……..the killing train

CHORUS 

      Will you ride the killing train?

      Will you ride the killing train?

      Will you ride the killing train?

TURN OUT THE DARKNESS (TURN ON THE LIGHT)

 TURN OUT THE DARKNESS (TURN ON THE LIGHT)

Wake up in the morning, shadows on the screen

Sirens blast a warning, children start to scream;

CHORUS

Turn out the darkness, turn on the light

Turn out the darkness, turn on the light

Thunder in the valley, fires in the trees;

Homeless in the alley, brothers on their knees; CHORUS

Children look to heaven, working on a dream;

AK 47, can’t believe what it means; CHORUS

CHORUS 2

Turn out the darkness ---------------Turn out the darkness

                                        (turn on the light)                            (turn on the light)

Turn out the darkness ---------------Turn out the darkness

                                        (turn on the light)                            (turn on the light)

Standing on the corner, policemen on the scene;

Ten shots without warning; sister starts to scream; CHORUS

Wedding on the mountain, drone up in the sky;

Bomb falls there’s a countdown, baby starts to cry; CHORUS

Prophets in the prisons, vultures in the suites;

Blinded by the vision in the belly of the beast; CHORUS

          CHORUS 2

Poison from the penthouse, bad moon on the rise;

When sanity is left out, everybody dies; CHORUS

Looking to the unknown, walking hand in hand;

Talking through the trombone, striking up the band; CHORUS

Blue sky in the morning, lighting up your eyes;

Listen to the calling, everybody rise;

Listen to the calling, everybody rise;

Listen to the calling, everybody rise;

Listen to the calling, everybody rise;

Listen to the calling, everybody rise;
