00:00 [BELL RINGING]
00:05 You young men of the Tunneling Brigade, you are all dead.
00:08 Not counted among the dead, but dead inside.

00:17 Take a little walk in the edge of town,
00:24 and go across the track, where the viaduct looms
00:31 like a bird of doom, as it shakes and cracks.
00:37 Where secrets lie in the border fires,
00:41 and the humming wires, you men, you know you're never coming
00:45 back.
00:46 Past the square, past the bridge, past the mills,
00:49 past the stacks.
00:53 On a gathering storm comes a tall, handsome man
00:58 in a dusty black coat with a red, red hand.
01:02 [BELL RINGING]
01:03 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:07 He'll wrap you in his arms, tell you that you've been a good boy.
01:18 He'll rekindle all the dreams that took you a lifetime
01:24 to destroy.
01:27 He'll reach deep into the hole, heal your shrinking soul.
01:32 But there won't be a single thing that you can do.
01:36 He's a god, he's a man, he's a ghost, he's a guru.
01:40 They're whispering his name through this disappearing land,
01:47 but hidden in his coat is a red, red hand.

02:03 His shadow is cast wherever he stands.
02:13 He's got a green paper in his red, red hand.
