music composed and performed by John Mehrmann

text from "Death and His Brother Sleep," by Edwin James Milliken, as misquoted by Winston Churchill:

Who is in charge of the clattering train?
The axles creak and the couplings strain,
and the pace is hot and the points are near,
and sleep has deadened the driver's ear,
and the signals flash in the night in vain,
for death is in charge of the clattering train.
