Lyrics
Cramped in the boxcar with hundreds of blank faces
Feeling confined in a boxcar with numerous expressionless faces.
Burst with adrenaline as the metal races
Experiencing heightened excitement as the train speeds on the tracks.
Inhale the steam as the metal grinds the track
Inhaling the steam produced as the metal grinds against the tracks.
One way ticket to madness, there’s no turning back
Being on an irreversible journey to madness with no way to turn back.
The choking black cloud covers the sky
A black cloud of smoke covers the sky, caused by burning coal.
As coal burns driving the steel beast by
The coal burning propels the steel train forward.
In the hands of a man pushed to the brink
A man, pushed to his limits, controls the powerful train.
Passengers sever his capacity to think
Passengers contribute to his loss of rationality.
Rail rage, deafening blast
Deafening blast of rail rage.
Step on the tracks, you will not last
Warning that stepping on the tracks is perilous.
Rail rage, come feel the sound
Invitation to experience the intense sound of rail rage.
Of the metal strings tightly wound
Reference to the tension in the tightly wound metal strings.
Rail rage, jump in the pit
Encouragement to join the energetic atmosphere in the pit.
As you’re pounded by the drum kit
Experiencing the impact of the drum kit.
The conductors take the stage
The conductors metaphorically taking control of the stage.
As you thrash your skull to Rail Rage
Thrashing one's skull in response to rail rage.
Bloodshot eyes pulse red with rage
Eyes turning red due to intense anger.
Brakes will permanently disengage
Brakes permanently disengaging, indicating an uncontrollable situation.
Two engines set to explode and collide
Two powerful forces (engines) on a collision course.
The boiling mob set for a fiery ride
A crowd ready for a chaotic and fiery experience.
Rail rage, deafening blast
Reiteration of the deafening blast and the danger of stepping on tracks.
Step on the tracks, you will not last
Reinforcing the danger of being on the tracks.
Rail rage, come feel the sound
Reiteration of the invitation to feel the intense sound of rail rage.
Of the metal strings tightly wound
Emphasizing the tension in the tightly wound metal strings.
Rail rage, jump in the pit
Encouragement to immerse in the lively atmosphere of the pit.
As you’re pounded by the drum kit
Experiencing the impact of the drum kit once again.
The conductors take the stage
Conductors metaphorically taking control of the stage, repeated.
As you thrash your skull to Rail Rage
Reiterating the act of thrashing one's skull in response to rail rage.
Rail rage, deafening blast
Continuation of the theme of the deafening blast and danger of tracks.
Step on the tracks, you will not last
Repeating the warning about the perilous nature of being on tracks.
Rail rage, come feel the sound
Restating the invitation to feel the intense sound of rail rage.
Of the metal strings tightly wound
Reiterating the tension in the tightly wound metal strings.
Rail rage, jump in the pit
Encouraging participation in the lively pit atmosphere.
As you’re pounded by the drum kit
Experiencing the impact of the drum kit once more.
The conductors take the stage
Conductors metaphorically taking control of the stage again.
As you thrash your skull to Rail Rage
Reiteration of thrashing one's skull in response to rail rage.
