This fateful journey forced upon us
That no man willingly wished to take
We’d fought through pain and hardship together
Then were thrown to our knees in distrust and distaste

And into the biting wilderness we’d go,
We’d go

I offer this letter as a token to my love
It may never reach you but the sentiment stands
This one swift gesture with which my hope lies
Is but a minute’s work of my hand

And into the desolate wilderness we’d go,
We’d go

I’d give my all just to be by your side
I’d jump from this carriage to halt this train ride

Never again must we weep in anguish
Or cower in fear at their collective might
I pray that our children will know salvation
That they can escape our dreadful plight

And dragged into the wilderness we’d go
We’d go

I’d give my all just to be by your side
I’d brave these furnaces to halt this train ride.
