Galleria Dele Armi

During the time of the Second World War

A small town in Italy, death came aboard

Train number 8017, it wasn't strafing of bombing

Clandestine de-railings, it was just some bad coal

The stockyard was selling



Climb aboard everybody

To Galleria dele Armi

Train 8017 to hell or to heaven

Train 8017 climb aboard



All the allied forces shut down the town

Made rich men and poor men, the same poor

So they hid in the night shivered 'til the 8017 came

Their families were starving in the village of Bovano

They had to break the rules just to try to find food



Climb aboard everybody

To Galleria dele Armi

Train 8017 to hell of to heaven

Train 8017 climb aboard



Just through the mountains is Galleria dele Armi

A rich valley so fertile and full

And only one train can get there

There's only one tunnel to pass through



But the train it stopped in the middle of the tunnel

And smoke from bad coal turned black

The 500 from Bovano who hungered

But died before they got through



Climb aboard everybody

To Galleria dele Armi

Train 8017

Train 8017 climb aboard



During the time of the Second World War

A small town in Italy, death came aboard
