Golden Train

Just like a star that can't be seen From your city at night You can't build a wall as high or steep As mountains have climbed Cuz these aren't owned And never will be So keep going on replacing each Until the lonely shores retreat And ocean's refined It happens all the time You measured the holes you made between The land that you dried But these aren't all the lakes and fields You came here to find You live in a corner That faces away Not in a world with shades of gray And while the whirlwind shakes your feet Another's arrived It happens all the time An old design that can't be traced Or shown on walls to contemplate If ever there was only one escape route Past the golden train Moving through the plains Ever since it came We've been living strange And i've forgotten time As soon as the ghosts return from sleep There's nothing alive Cuz you made the roads and mazes deep For all you can hide A treasure to keep And never be shared To breathe in a fortune as in air (an heir) Until the moon and sun can meet They'll follow you blind A never ending sight The new recruit to end the war Has soldiers with, they're sending more The cavalry is making sure No one can stop the golden train Lines are built and rails can carry you Past those who would surely bury you Animals have scared and run from men Crossed the sea to never think again
