Apocalypse Express Lyrics by Judee Sill

Dreams Come True

2005

[Verse 1]
Here it comes, it's hissing and shaking
The front door is quaking like its gonna go down
Steaming engine seems to be waiting
Wrathful and aching from deep underground

Drive, engineer, drive
Make your aura rhythm resound
Roaring turbines making my eardrums pound
Are they gonna hold you, are you burning up the ground?

[Chorus]
Take heart, take heart
Don't back down when the big train comes
Hang on, hang on
Rest assured and be firm, get on

Hold on, hold on
Have no fear, like a rock be strong
Jump on the tracks
Stop that train and get on

[Verse 2]
Here it comes with dynamos churning
Launching and burning and knowing no rest
Savage shield is twisting and turning
Streaming a sermon of smoldering stress

Drive, engineer, drive
Stir and sear every breast
Stoke the fiery furnace and spur the flesh
'Til every hearts ablaze on the apocalypse express

[Chorus]
Take heart, take heart
Don't back down when the big train comes
Hang on, hang on
Rest assured and be firm, get on

Hold on, hold on
Have no fear, like a rock be strong
Jump on the tracks
Stop that train and get on

[Outro]
Here we come
