Transmission                                        by Preacher John 5/4/00

It stops here
it stops here with me
now and forever
Into the darkness
into the darkness with me
at the end
Never to leap
never to leap from me
not now and not never

For this is the hate and the terror
this is the fear and the fury
the pain and the loathing
my father gave to me

For these are the cuffs and the blows
these are the kicks and the curses
the blastings and the beatings
his father gave to him

It stops here
it stops here with me
now and forever

I am the buffers
and this train
has reached
the end
of the
line.
