The Iron Road - Widowmaker

You saw the beast of thunder

Felt it’s deadly speed

Never were you so alive

The spell that you were under

Tou feld you spirits need

Had to ride that iron horse

Broke through stony mountain

Laid that gleaming rail

Suffered through the worst of times

Pestilence abounded

Your spirit never failes

Worked until your body cried

So go on my friend

You fought for the right

You lived by the rules

So when will it end

Through hunger and blight

Through rain, snow and night

It’s the iron road

That leads you on

But in the end

All of your hope is gone

It’s the iron road

That brings you pain

And in the end

The iron road will reign

As the years grew endless

You saw your demons breed

Gave into the darker side

Driven to obsession

To satisfy your need

Had to ride that iron horse

Oh why my friend

Men died in the night

You fought for their tools

So when does it end

You crawled for your dream

You stole, lied, and schemed

At last the days upon you

You’ll ride those gleaming rails

Climb aboard the iron horse

Its majesty alludes you

It’s ceremony pales

All you fell is cold remorse

Oh ride my friend

So driven by spite

You broke every rule

Oh it never ends

You won’t be the same

You’ll die with the shame
