Death Train

We’re all waiting on the death train To take us all away Some will kick and scream Some will merely say Where does the death train go to Is it a journey of despair The million-dollar question Nobody really cares All aboard the death train The ticket is totally free The conductor will point to the sign You won't return at three The track is never ending Your life you’ll get to see The answer you always searched for Will be revealed right after three The door is finally opened The platform sets you free You see the sign before you To be or not to be The answer was the question The conductor says with glee All aboard the death train Stopping just to see Life's unanswered question You never got to see Revealed at the very end Just as the clock struck three.

Hey Paul, whether we scream, care, afraid or accept we all board the death train. A fact of life which most delay, if they can. Blessings, Jennifer.

"Nobody really cares." At least in a metaphysical life. Nice one Paul! :)

Trains are frightening for obvious reasons.

Who'd have thought 3 would have been a mystical time?! Promised answers, sounds like a swizz to me. Is there a rail replacement bus service?

If it's a British train, it won't be going far, but it will cost a fortune to get there.
