lyrics

The cost grows and grows by the minute
though it's hanging like a dismal cloud
it's a first chance to see the Big North
and waiting on the deck, we wish it could be touched

I can't tell if this will prove to be a mistake
the line's behind we can't go back the choice has been made

the track's curves below make the train groan louder
going up the hill the air is getting thinner

I don't know if we can feel at home in this place
What if we can't find a life in this emptiness
and all the desert offers us are birds of prey, a constant dry monotony, a blank space without colour and frustration.

El costo crece y crece a cada minuto
aunque flota como una nube oscura
es una primera oportunidad de ver el Norte Grande
Esperando en el andén, deseamos que se pueda alcanzar

No sabría decir si al final será un error
la frontera quedó atrás no podemos volver la suerte está echada

las curvas de los rieles hacen que el tren cruja más fuerte
subiendo la montaña hay menos aire

No sé si aquí podremos sentirnos en casa
Qué pasa si no logramos encontrar una vida en este vacío
y si el desierto solo nos ofrece aves de presa, una monotonía seca y constante, un espacio en blanco incoloro y frustración.
