MILLION DEAD LYRICS

"Engine Driver"

When I grow up I want to be
An engine driver.
I'll build up my own head of steam
Twenty-fice horsepower.

Old hands, new power,
More miles per hour
Strange light in the ancient mills.
New sights for old eyes,
Giant leaps under small skies
A sense of death in the hills.

But when I pull off,
I don't want to
Follow time tables or tracks.
I will cut
New paths through
Topsoil and tarmac.

Old hands, new power,
More miles per hour
Strange light in the ancient mills.
New sights for old eyes,
Giant leaps under small skies
A sense of death in the hills.

The only thing that
I will leave behind is
A simple trail
Two stark parallel lines
That cut their way away
Across the land
Which our children will preserve
Bot won't understand.
