A long red train that has no name came rolling down the track, as if a flood of bright red blood had been a-blowing out the stack,
Right on time, and down the line, the courier of souls,
A one way ride to the other side - let it roll,
Let it roll, let it roll.
Waiting at the station, the porter tips his hat,
Climb aboard the great reward, I ain't never coming back.
No, you'll never find me when I leave the world behind me and take the last train,
Destiny will guide me as I climb aboard and finally take the last train,
That blood red engine pulls a chain of crimson and takes me home.
The conductor calls for tickets as he slowly makes his way,
The man who's sitting next to me grows suddenly afraid,
And my heart was filled with sorrow as they led him from the train, left him there among the dead, crying in the rain.
As we leave the station the porter tips his hat,
And in the end it all begins; I ain't never looking back.
No, you'll never find me when I leave the world behind me and take the last train,
Destiny will guide me as I climb aboard and finally take the last train,
That blood red engine pulls a chain of crimson and takes me home,
You know it takes me home.
No, you'll never find me when I leave the world behind me and take the last train,
Destiny will guide me as I climb aboard and finally take the last train,
No, you'll never find me when I leave the world behind me and take the last train,
Destiny will guide me as I climb aboard and finally take the last train,
That blood red engine pulls a chain of crimson and takes me home.
