Black Forest

The Frames Black Forest Lyrics
1.Death Train

Death train slogging through the dusty land
pale blue water and growing sand
no passengers no engineer
no destination, far or near

Coals are burning heating up the tank
pistons churning and the wheels they clank
pressure building, throttle open wide
death train rolling on its final ride.

Coals are burning heating up the tank
pistons churning and the wheels they clank
pressure building, throttle open wide
death train rolling on its final ride.


2.Flies

In the dark ages, medieval times
In the first stages of the last decline

In the ancient city, AD 79
frozen in ash; smothered in time

In the fertile crescent reading cuneiform
Past and present in my uniform


3.Galena

With no free breath
I crouch and stare
a dead machine
to take me there
the worst of prisons
in barren stone
the savage/saddest depths
I work alone

A burning lamp
to give me light
It's poison gas
to aid my plight
A pick and hammer
are my only tools
I search for treasure
I search for fools

With no free breath
I crouch and stare
a dead machine
to take me there
the worst of prisons
in barren stone
the savage/saddest depths
I work alone


4.Negative

Dissapointing days in a hot white haze
nothing good ever...stays
fault line lost in continental drift
absolute zero-no negative shift
...no negative shift

incoherence and empty sense
I'm living in the future tense
Fault lines lost in continental drift
absolute zero-no negative shift
