Trans Siberian Express |
| Catch a train direct to death |
| Glide where wheels and rails caress |
| Hear the last taboos expressed |
| In language looted and compressed |
| Abandon this world for the next |
| Cross the great plain of forgetfulness |
| Trans Siberian Express |
| Life on earth is short at best |
| The cities are a game of chess |
| Copper domes and statuettes |
| Victories with marble breasts |
| Leave your burden with the rest |
| Watch the sleepers phosphoresce |
| Trans Siberian Express |
| Rich man leave your wealthiness |
| Wanderer, your solemn dress |
| Seafarer, the sea’s caress |
| Beowulf, your angriness |
| Time to take a second guess |
| Time to make a pact with death |
| Trans Siberian Express |
| The world is long, there is no consolation |
| For those who join at the end of the line |
| Through the train the four winds blow |
| The arctic and the sirocco |
| Stalactite and stalagmite |
| Stalag camp and satellite |
| Pass the captives on death row |
| The gulag archipelago |
| The skulls of reindeer in the snow |
| The longboat drifts, the dead float slow |
| Frightened wolves, nowhere to go |
| Find winding cloths of sleet and snow |
| The sleeping kings of long ago |
| Deep beneath Ben Bulben grow |
| Drifts are shifted by the plough |
| Like waves that break against the prow |
| How do you like your blue-eyed boy now |
| Mr Death? |
| Before the crocus cloaked the steppes |
| Before the tadpoles and the nests |
| Jack Frost screamed, his voice so hoarse |
| The signalmen were blown off course |
| They passed Attila on his horse |
| Passed the Visigoths and Norse |
| Villages with Viking forts |
| And knew not where they were |
| The world is long, there is no consolation |
| For those who join at the end of the line |
| The skeletons were at the feast |
| Before the dreams of ancient Greece |
| Before the shaman and the priest |
| Jason and the Golden Fleece |
| Before the Dead Sea Scrolls released |
| Their meaning or the experts pieced together |
| The epic of Gilgamesh |
| Trans Siberian Express |
| Don’t cry for me I never cried for you |
| Just left without the name |
| Of the place I’m going to |
| Left without so much as a whisper to remind you |
| I’m travelling to forget you |
| And to find you |
