The Last Stop

It starts with a hiss and a screech as the murder train pulls in at the station Its cars painted black its windows darkened by the secrets and sins of every nation The conductors smile is twisted and cruel his cold dead eyes collecting his fare Passengers board with a sense of dread knowing they soon will be beyond repair The train lurches forward then moving with speed barreling through the night without a care Huddled in their seats the passengers cower in fear and despair A ghostly man appears in the dark whose blood was spilled on this track He haunts this train for revenge he rides upon the people who forced his final act The air is thick with feelings of guilt and shame as every passenger relives their evil crime The face of the victim before their minds till guilt drowns them to their dying time And when it finally reaches its final stop theres no escape for the ones aboard For in their own personal hell they are trapped forever haunted by the murder trains accord So beware if you ever see it coming this train of death that roams the land For once you board theres no turning back youll be forever at its command
