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.
