Defeater - Everything Went Quiet lyrics

Roll on through to the other side of town
Passed the quarry, the river beds
Over bridges and bunker sheds
Roll on through to the pit's
And the rail car yard
This is where you prove your worth
A brother's dare, that devil's smirk

Oh, this is the way it will always be
A kid brother in the shadow
Of a cold heart's legacy
Oh, this is where we see who runs first
It's you and me and the train
The steel tracks and the dirt
Oh, you will never live up to me
And so he stood trembling
Waiting for smoke above the trees
Roll on through he could hear it rumbling
And he could feel it beneath his feet
Roll on through
Closer now, hold your ground steadfast
Ignore the sound"

Everything went quiet just before the
Rush took over his head
With the pull and the push of the engine
Think back with the coal and the steam
The racing thoughts, the questions
The adolescent rivalry
And with a nod from the elder
The younger's fear topples over
Over rails and over timber
That's no dodge, you fucking coward
And the train rolls on
And the train rolls on yellow-belly, go home
And the train rolls on
