A long red train that has no name
Came rollin' down the track
As if a flood of bright red blood
Had been blowin' 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

Waiting at the station the porter tips his hat
I climb aboard the great reward I ain't never comin' 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 whose sitting next to me grows suddenly afraid
My heart was filled with sorrow as he led him from the train and left him
There among the dead who were 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 lookin' back

That blood red engine pulls a chain of crimson and takes me home
