Death comes easy when you're young
Before your heart hardens through
Innocence will simply slip away
Like whispers through a black veil

Hopes and dreams are all you have
On life's journey through the years
But dreams will simply slip away
Like whispers through a black veil

Whispers through the black veil
Life is a train on red-hot rails
Just rollin' by till the end of the line
Just rollin' by

When twilight falls on your life
And fear stares into your soul
Daylight simply slips away
Like whispers through a black veil

Whispers through the black veil
Life is a train on red-hot rails
Just rollin' by till the end of the line
Just rollin' by
