The Train to the Factory

Inspired from the Oscar winning film Schindelers List, directed by Steven Spielberg

There is a train 

A Black Train 

Straight from nowhere 

In the age when Europe was in a torn state 

When Germany fell from grace

When racists and hate groups spread through the country like a plague 

Jews were the number one target of the hit-list

Some of them were taken to steel camps never to be heard from the families

Some of them met their fate by the edge of the gun 

While most Jews hid from the terror happening to their country 

The Nazis ruled most of Germany

Killing everyone that stood in their way 

Wiping out any signs of resistance like a vacuum cleaner 

Both women and children 

Without fear, conscience, weakness, remorse, or mercy 

They couldn't be reasoned with or bargained with

They would stop at nothing to make Germany in their image 

It was the Age of Darkness 

But there was hope 

And hope came on the railroad 

A miracle was at the sound of a whistle

The Black Train from nowhere 

Going to one work-camp to wind up as many Jews as it can 

To take them to the factory 

Not just to work, but to be safe 

Safe from tyranny of the racists 

Before there was the V-day 

Before there was Iwa-Jima 

There was the Train 

The Black Train from nowhere
