Lyrics No: 51 - The Carrier

No: 51

«All aboard!»
the conductor screams
He knew he was the only one
That could save their dreams
He had to pick who lived and died
Solely by occupation
He played God in all their lives
He was the reason why
A million people had to die on that day
And as he stared into all their faces
He heard the screams of those
Trying to be saved
He played God in all their lives that day
Nothing’s as scary as the earth crumbling
Nothing could numb the pain of knowing tomorrow will never be
He lit up a cigarette
In hopes to calm his nerves
And as the smoke filled his lungs
He prayed to an unmerciful lord
«Excuse me sir, I forget your name
I’m just another nameless face
That won’t see another day
Excuse me sir I’m sorry that my worst nightmares
Are my only grasp on sanity
I wish I could save this world from dying
But now it’s my turn to become another piece of matter
Floating endlessly through the abyss above
No love can save me.»
Time stopped
It all went black
«All the memories that I’ve had
From my past escaped through my brain
The silence deafening could drive one insane
All that I’ve worked for
And all the friends that I’ve made
Are just as useless as hoping
A god might come save me
No one can blame faith for trying to ease the pain
But when the world ends, there will just be nothing
Nothing.»
