Inspired by the third season opener of the X-Files
CHO: Em A
Boxcar of horrors
D G Em
Buried in the sands of time
Em A
Tongue of fire
Em D
Burns like an eternal flame
G Am
Stand and face
C Am
Those who hide behind the lies
G D Em
The tale you must pass to those who come
E A G D Em
Blazing sun; jagged stone hides a boxcar buried deep
E A G D Em
Secret deals, horrid tests, victims silenced years ago
E A G D Em
Murder, double-crosses, hidden tapes, Indian codes
G D Em
The truth is out there to be found
CHORUS
Open field, open grave, soldiers gun their victims down
Fleeing on secret rails, seeking a new life and home
Risking lives, who to trust, danger lurks at every turn
But truth cannot be blown away
CHORUS
Forest green, railroad, boxcar heads for death and hell
Skeletons, innocents, destined to be gassed and burned
Some survive to rise up like a phoenix from the ash
The truth can never be put down
