A long red train that has no name Came rollin' down the track As if a flood of bright red blood Had been blowin' out the stack Right on time and down the line the courier of souls A one way ride to the other side let it roll
Waiting at the station the porter tips his hat I climb aboard the great reward I ain't never comin' back
No you'll never find me when I leave the world behind me and take the last train Destiny will guide me as I climb aboard and finally take the last train That blood red engine pulls a chain of crimson and takes me home
The conductor calls for tickets as he slowly makes his way The man whose sitting next to me grows suddenly afraid My heart was filled with sorrow as he led him from the train and left him There among the dead who were crying in the rain
As we leave the station the porter tips his hat and in the end it all begins I ain't never lookin' back
That blood red engine pulls a chain of crimson and takes me home
