Night Train to Lorca
Journey Through the Night: Mystical Tales on Lorca's Tracks
Lyrics
Across the dark and dusty plain
Describing a vast and desolate landscape.
Where scars of old dry rivers run
Noting the marks left by old rivers that have dried up.
Night unfolds, a coal black shroud
Describing the night as a dark and heavy presence.
Across the hard and stony ground
Referring to a challenging and rocky terrain.
Distant stars shining bright
Stars are visible in the night sky.
In the cavern of the night
Imagery of a cavern, emphasizing the darkness.
All is still and silence screams
Everything is quiet, but the silence is deafening.
To the thunder of the Lorca train
The sound of the approaching Lorca train is compared to thunder.
Flaming steal swift as wind
Depiction of a fast and powerful train.
Wires hum the rails ring
Highlighting the mechanical sounds of the train.
Smokestack burning fiery sparks
Describing the train's smokestack emitting fiery sparks.
Rise up to the stars
The sparks rise up towards the stars.
Towns asleep by empty roads
Describing sleeping towns along deserted roads.
Churches rise from crooked roofs
Depicting churches rising in the darkness.
Cloaked in darkness nothing stirs
Emphasizing the stillness and lack of activity.
Grow smaller darker disappear
Things become smaller and darker, possibly symbolizing disappearing into the night.
See the moon so still and cold
Describing the moon and its cold light.
A million stars that shed no warmth
Millions of stars providing no warmth.
Your nightmares all come out to play
Nightmares are active in the silver moonlight.
In the silver light
The silver light possibly intensifies the eeriness of nightmares.
Wait for sunrise in the east
Anticipation of sunrise in the east.
Long shadows crawl across the plain
Long shadows indicate the approaching dawn.
The ghosts of night will disappear
The night's ghosts will disappear with the daylight.
And lay your fears to rest
The dawn will lay fears to rest.
Steam hissed up, the hot coals glowed
Depicting the steam rising as the train prepares to move.
The furnace blazed, the wheels they rolled
Describing the blazing furnace and the turning wheels.
On tracks of iron, straight and cold
The train moves on iron tracks in a straight and cold direction.
The silver moonlight danced
The moonlight dances on the silver surfaces of the train.
The flames are in the fireman's eye
Visualizing flames in the fireman's eyes.
Orange in the engines glow
Describing the orange glow in the train's engine.
Gleaming pistons whirling cranks
Highlighting the gleaming and moving parts of the train.
Wait for dawn the rooster's crow
Anticipation of dawn signaled by the rooster's crow.
