16. Why Are We Here

06:41

Why are we here?
Why are we forced to stay in this train?
With all these people here.
Who'd like to go on with their normal lives...

Why are we here?
We're captured here like lambs for slaughter.
Noone here to stop this train
Is this the end of all our joy and pain? Aaaaaargh

Why are we here
Why is this the path we've chosen
Or was it chosen for us
And noone here to help dry our tears

Why are we here
In this tunnel of the darkening shadows
This metal coffin all around us
Is this the destiny that finally found us

Many people have sought the answers
To life's eternal questions
Philosophy is trying to explain
Something we cannot really understand

Where is the escape
Somewhere safe to go
Tell me why are we...
Tell me why we're heeeeeeeere

Why are we here?
Why are we forced to stay in this train?
With all these people here.
Who'd like to go on with their normal lives...

Why are we here?
Why are we left in this confusion?
Of noise and wind and fire?
Where could I inquire

Many people have sought the answers
To life's eternal questions
Philosophy is trying to explain
Something we cannot really understand

Tell me why we're here
In this train

Somewhere in dark
