Analysis of Train of Ghouls
Train of Ghouls
Scratch my culture with your wisdom
and pour some sense into my glass
then send a message from your kingdom
to destroy the weeds from choking grass
With Sampson strength remove this pillar
and tread my grapes then raise a cup
my trust is dead but I'm no killer
just had some problem's growing up
Mephistophelean breezes blow
to scatter what was once so pure
to all parts of this puppet show
on a train of ghouls I take the tour
Lament engulfs the weary spirit
the game is over I concede
you win again your game has merit
another chance is all I need
