Moscow Express

**Verse 1** The lights go out, the train is rushing through the night, The lanterns flash, they take me out of sight. Here’s noise and buzz, a hundred different faces, Each one a traveler, leaving no traces. The carriage rocks me like a gentle cradle’s sway, And outside — just an underground snow spray. The platforms change like frames of a film reel, And everyone is hurrying, each one has their deal. **Chorus** They run, they run along the moving stairs, Forward through time, to the heart that never spares. Here epochs and dreams are tangled up and tight, In the underground kingdom, in the fading light. Moscow Metro — a steel and ancient snake, It carries dreams and hundreds of days to make. **Verse 2** Here’s a student with his notes, a tired doctor near, And someone hides their pain behind a smile so clear. The whispers of the news, the music in the ears, And children’s laughter drowned in dreams and fears. The marble shines, the bronze, the granite stands so proud, Each arch and vault is wrapped in history’s shroud. You’re going deeper, to the ancient times below, Where you can hear the echoes of the trains that used to go. **Chorus** They run, they run along the moving stairs, Forward through time, to the heart that never spares. Here epochs and dreams are tangled up and tight, In the underground kingdom, in the fading light. Moscow Metro — a steel and ancient snake, It carries dreams and hundreds of days to make. **Bridge** And all the paths are leading to one star, To something precious, shining from afar. Where domes are glowing high up in the sky, And time itself is passing by. **Chorus** They run, they run along the moving stairs, Forward through time, to the heart that never spares. Here epochs and dreams are tangled up and tight, In the underground kingdom, in the fading light. Moscow Metro — a steel and ancient snake, It carries dreams and hundreds of days to make.
