The Train of lost Souls

 

*Chhh chha cha cha cha*

 

The sound of a train starting to move away,

 wakes up a girl sleeping alone in a dark alley.

 

*Chhh cha cha cha*

 

A boy,

 whose mother just finished beating him,

 sees a light ,and a horn toots from the

 direction of the railroad tracks,

 

*Cha cha cha cha*

 

A mother and father that have just lost their child,

 awaken to the fiercome train sounds.

 

*Cha cha cha*

 

All begin to walk,

 in a trance,

 toward their doors and follow the sounds.

None of them stop, none of them realize that no train station is nearby,

 

*chachacha*

 

The sounds faster now,

 racing toward them in the distance,

cause them to turn,

The soundds stop as a ghastly looking train halts at their feet.

 

*Chaaa..*

 

A pale conductor walks out holding a lantern in his hand and says,

"All aboard" in almost a whisper as he snarls fiercomely,

but the people walk forward,

 and ride to their destination into the unknown,

on the train of Lost Souls.

 

*Chaaaaaaaa*
