Rolling Down The Tracks lyrics
Trains rolling down the tracks
No one on board will come back
Trains roll on all night and day
Over the hills to far away
The trains stop at the end of the line
Everyone’s lost their sense of time
The keepers they bark and they shout
‘Death is the only way out’!
A band with violins play
They play all night, they play all day
They play by the entrance gate
Beneath the iron sign that states
for all to see ‘Work sets you free’
So does death completely
And the band and violins play on and on
Till every last person has gone
Till the devils work has been done
The band and violins play on
The band and violins play on
It was to be their fate
To walk through the gate
One by one
But they didn’t kill The Son
Three by three
They could never be free
Two by two
They’d be killed for being Jews
Ashes and dust fills the air
No one hears the screams of despair
The world has closed its eyes
And doesn’t want to hear their cries
What you don’t seek you will not find
Out of sight is out of mind
The scene goes on and on
As they play by the gate
Playing to save their own fate
The band and violins play on and on
Till one by one
They too will be gone
