Greasy cold December rain
We're cooped up in this dirty train
We lost all our home, our faith, our love, our lives
Where shall we be taken lord?
Coldness creeps into the filthy clothes
Where are we going? No one knows
We all cry, we pray, some die, give up themselves
Why am I here? Answer me!
The iron prison's moving now
The smell of defecation makes me feel sick somehow
Ragged dressed man are wriggling in the straw
One is banging mad his head against the bars
I'm deeply shocked, don't realize a thing
In a corner one is masturbating
Iron bars are rushing through the night
Train of tears carries despaired freight
Uniformed guards lock the door
Stinking water in an old tin can
Rats and cockroaches on the filthy floor
After a while the train stops again
In are pushed a few man more
Round me it's dark and I swoon then
Iron bars…
A thousand men share the same fate
Will they be set free or is it all too late?
The train is rollin', rollin'…
Iron bars…
In the distance burn dim lamps
Oh no it's another camp
We all see watchtowers, the smoke
Barbed wire, the dead
Greasy cold December rain
