Lyrics
Violetta holds a photograph as the train begins to slow,
the station guard dims down the lights,
as the engine gives its final sigh.
And the man in the blue suit cleans his boots until his fingers bleed.
The deceptive moon casts shadows over weary shuffling feet,
and the sign above the gates says soon you will be free,
but reality begins to dawn,
this is your destiny.
