underground railroad

hell's children

touched by fire

from the fields

far away

voices calling

out the way

you no longer

have to stay

rising flames

arise in pain

find a voice

on this day

out of the shackles

a cargo of ghosts

rattling chains that weigh the most

end of the line

that liberty bell

locomotion firing onward from hell

an hour of freedom worth a life in pain

the lincoln's coming all aboard that train

through screaming tunnels the engine sings

into the steam

riding a dream

hissing furnace chasing time

circles of fire on a horse of iron

an hour of freedom worth a life in pain

the lincoln's coming all aboard that train

keep on moving till the shackles are gone

cross that water to the land beyond

keep on moving till the shackles are gone

cross that water to the land beyond
