Travel Once Sliding Octet

Travel once on a haunted train,
a taste may make you lose your mind;
Railroad tracks leave the world behind 
dismantled boxcars keep rolling;
Phantom mouths continue screaming,
they show you tickets that were signed;
Pure horror here is well defined,
you’ll visit with those who were slain;

Now you feel even more confined,
travel once on a haunted train;
Take the seat that you were assigned
surely they’ll be no arguing;
When a covered scab starts bleeding 
don’t pick at it like you’re inclined;
You’ll visit with those who were slain,
to their curse pain  is intertwined;

Get there early or they’re unkind,
a disturbing ride you will find;
Travel once on a haunted train
get lost in the way it’s moving;
Spontaneous can be soothing 
you’ll visit with those who were slain; 
The Dining car feels so refined,
relax the ghosts are on the grind;

Disobey? Idle hands they’ll bind,
probably should never have whined;
Restless spirits sit there waiting;
Travel once on a haunted train,
you’ll visit with those who were slain;
It’s real the nightmare is growing,
by the end you’ll be undermined;
It doesn’t matter if you’re kind;

Conducted by a mastermind 
evil has now become streamlined;
Old clock ticks it becomes chilling 
you’ll visit with those who were slain;
Travel once on a haunted train,
where they lived you’re now exploring;
Not really knowing how they died 
only pieces have been outlined;

Racing down a track that’s unlined;
The length of this trip? Never mind;
You’ll visit with those who were slain,
strange feelings have you believing;
Your heart won’t ever stop racing,
travel once on a haunted train;
High anxiety undefined
for any relief victims pined;

Purity will become maligned 
you’ll visit with those who were slain;
They were just trying to unwind,
surely safe where they were going;
Never thinking about running 
to the obvious they were blind;
Travel once on a haunted train 
see the dark nature of mankind;
 
You’ll visit with those who were slain 
sitting back in a chair reclined 
listen closely to tales enshrined;
As long as you keen on sharing 
there will never be an ending;
Fallacy and the truth combined,
curious how we were designed;
 Travel once on a haunted train.
