That lonesome, long trail

thousands wanting to wail

all wanting to stop

wishing to fail

hoping it will be over

to stop the torture

to let the nightmare be over

wishing it was a dream,

a scheme

but unfortunately

all it did was make them scream

and never end the crystal tears

that consumed and showed the fear.
