Goodbye

Your pocket full of dreams

Your mind in a daze

Keep on chasing rainbows

Fly high

Leave the past behind

The dark road you take bears no escape



In a world of grand illusions

Where love is just a dream

You gotta make your sacrifices

Time to pick your poison



The fool is he who is noble minded

And bellies up to poverty

He's not a king in the world of diamonds

Paling into oblivion



I lay down my soul for glory

I've given a life away

Don't know if I am sorry

Blind me, blind me



Don't know where I'll be going

I gotta get away

From the pain of recollection

Drawn into the faint



Hang on to a runaway train

No turning back

Tethered to a runaway train

Take me away

Torpid in the wind and rain

No turning back

Hang on to a runaway train

Take me away



If I'm a stranger to myself

Then I better gotta stay away

Even better gotta get away, get away

Time to pick my poison



Feel the devil sitting in my neck

Straight ahead into the unknown

Oh father I forgive you for I

Don't know what I'm doing



It's only human nature

To keep away from pain

Take a train to ecstasy oh

Ride on, ride on



Inhale the scent of heaven

Respire the smell of fame

You've been to hell and back

You can't change things anyway, no



I hang on to a runaway train

No turning back

Tethered to a runaway train

Take me away

Torpid in the wind and rain

No turning back

I hang on to a runaway train

Take me away



Reaching out to rule the world

you'll watch the mirror shatter

As you'll be dazzled by the sight

Once only diamonds mattered



How can you justify the way

When you wake up screaming

Will you pretend that you were blind

When you were really seeing



Your image everywhere

The looking glass: a sheet of ice

It's thick enough to dance on

In a frozen realm of lies



But the ice will break

And you will scream repenting

Oh boy the ice will break

You'll just feel your heart rending



Riding on to a world of funny flowers

Riding on to the white wide world

If coming back would hurt my pride

I rather take another ride

Riding on, winter on the mirror

Riding on into the unknown

If I'll awake in pain one day

I gotta catch just one more train



Days gone by

Who'd wanna live forever

On our knees up your road

Paved with good intentions

Fly high

Where angels can't breathe no more

Some dare to go blind

Some stay behind



I hang on to a runaway train

No turning back

Tethered to a runaway train

Take me away

Torpid in the wind and rain

No turning back

I hang on to a runaway train

Take me away



Hang on to a runaway train

No turning back

Tethered to a runaway train

Take me away

Torpid in the wind and rain

in the wind and rain

I hang on to that runaway train
