THE END OF THE LINE | The Stupendium & Dan Bull | Choo-Choo Charles Song!

[@TheStupendium]

BE SURE TO WATCH DAN'S ALTERNATE VERSION TOO FOR NEW SCENES! kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZDThXd4Ztt9jZo LYRICS: INTRO Sleeping deep beneath the sleepers of the isle There’s a demon creature dreaming, heathen and reviled Sees no rhyme or reason but for feasting when he’s riled Better let him be, lest you are sure to see the smile Of sixteen tonnes of scurrying death Smouldering souls through funnel of red With a pick-like grin on the front of his head Sat atop a most illogical number of legs VERSE 1 Tickets, please! Let me tell you the tale Of a wicked beast, that’ll follow your trail Through the valleys and vales, on your tail day and night There’ll be chaos on the rails when the railway strikes Stop, take stock, try to gauge the situation ‘Fraid your train has been derailed, there’s no use waiting in the station Every engine’s been dismantled, there’s no other service coming Charles is leading by example, he’s the only train that’s running All in all, we're in a doozy of a mess So, all aboard the WTF express Should you want to stay safe, then I wouldn’t play games Or you’ll learn another way of saying, “Run away! TRAIN!” CHORUS Every life has a light in the tunnel ahead But you might just find that behind it instead Of a heaven is an engine and the devil inbred And we’re next on the menu if we’ve left him unfed Charlie Your timetable says it’s almost time for tea Charlie And we’ve laid on quite a spread, as you can see There’s a choo-choo train Coming after you Food chain’s Gone a bit askew Won’t catch that train If it’s gonna catch you VERSE 2 For certain worse than what they say to mind the gap for The train’s not just cancelled, it’s damn well deplatformed Since it scampered off the tracks to find a snack from off your back lawn Couple jackdaws and your cat and then your dad from off the back porch He’s hungry and he’s hunting down the islanders With a side of any siding-hiding bystanders Quite queer what his dietary requirements are But it’s pretty clear regardless he’s a dining car Coke? Coal? Petroleum? Alone they’ll never do No, this engine sends the scent of rendered flesh out from the flue On this service we’ll be serving something rather more unnerving Chugga-chugging on blood as he chew-chews you It’s all true, choo-choos consume fuel too Humans are a whole new consumable and whole food Gluten free range and more renewable than coal too So, who to choose to chew to this tune? Ooh, you’ll do CHORUS Every life has a light in the tunnel ahead But you might just find that behind it instead Of a heaven is an engine and the devil inbred And we’re next on the menu if we’ve left him unfed Charlie Your timetable says it’s almost time for tea Charlie And we’ve laid on quite a spread, as you can see Charlie If we sate your lust for flesh on which to feed Charlie Will you promise to eat them instead of me? There’s a choo-choo train Coming after you Food chain’s Gone a bit askew Won’t catch that train If it’s gonna catch you MIDDLE 8 Engine, engine number nine On the Aranearum mining line If your train comes off the track Better run, better run, or you won’t come back VERSE 3 Hey, guess who! This is déjà vu Like HS2, you’ll be railed right through Penetrated in the vein of a mainline route When we come, well then, we’re gonna run a train on you You might say we’ve got a loco motive To provide the train with a load of groceries Locally sourced from the local folk, dear Granny’s s’posed to host, although she’s toast when the smoke clears The el choo-choopacabara, the beast come to dine And it’s far worse than leaves that he leaves on the line You’ll see when he feasts in the deep of the night By the pieces of people-y debris left behind Riding off-peak? Don’t be ridiculous The worth of your season ticket is Quickly diminishing with every pillock We’re feeding into his gleaming scissorous teeth But if we seem insidious We’re just uneasy villagers Seeking to keep the most hideous beast We unleashed from committing the deed of killing us If killing a priest, a vicar, a grocer or postman or three is villainous? Well, what’s it to me? You probably see the feast is imminent Keep on screaming, pump the bellows, he’ll be drawn to your duress Charlie loves a little murder on the goriest express You can ruminate on whether there’s a certain train near Or pray that it’s a rumour made to circulate fear But in case you didn’t hear then I better make clear This train terminates here CHORUS Every life has a light in the tunnel ahead But you might just find that behind it instead Of a heaven is an engine and the devil inbred And we’re next on the menu if we’ve left him unfed Charlie Your timetable says it’s almost time for tea Charlie And we’ve laid on quite a spread, as you can see Charlie If we sate your lust for flesh on which to feed Charlie Will you promise to eat them instead of me? There’s a choo-choo train Coming after you Food chain’s Gone a bit askew Won’t catch that train If it’s gonna catch you

[@cragl3yman343]

My favorite part of this entire song is the "Engine, Engine Number Nine" part. The synchronized bobbing up and down was just perfect and really sold how creepy this song can be while also being playful. It perfectly encapsulates how the game is taking itself so seriously despite the ridiculous concept of a man eating Spider Train. The utter ridiculousness of the concept is just hilarious while also being completely taken serious in the actual game just like the song. Edit: After a lot more listens it seems this entire song just loves referencing train related rhymes and songs. Absolutely astonishing

I love catching the musical theatre references in Stupes songs but I can't believe it took me five months to realize this one (if i'm correct lmao) At 4:49, "If killing a priest, a vicar, a grocer, or postman or three is villainous?" may be a reference to A Little Priest from Sweeney Todd. In the song, Mrs. Lovett and Sweeney discuss hypothetically turning various community figures into meat pies to serve in her shop. Among many others, they bring up the titular Priest and joke about whether a meat pie is made of Grocer or Vicar (it has to be grocer, it's green).

I'm glad Dan's influence has left a clear and visible mark (A whole verse dedicated to innuendo) on this song as well (Not that the Stupendium doesn't have that capability we all know one particular song)

Just something I want to say really quick. After listening to this about a dozen times I can't stop noticing how well you guys harmonize together. It's genuinely really cool. That combined with how much fun the song is really cool, incredible job guys.

[@Fishfoe]

That Stupendibull Mining Company sign is genius! You two look like you had a lot of fun making this together. All the train puns are genius! The "loco-motive" line!! So good.

[@thegamemaker8284]

holy crap, that choo-choo Charles model is so cool and, in my opinion, the best 3d animated choo-choo Charles I've seen. also, I like that unlike other songs that focus on either Charles or the Archivist, this focuses on the cultists and the regular denizens of Aranearum

[@spoons6589]

The feeling of it all was malevolent yet whimsical but Stupes and Dan in those masks was straight up scary but in the best way. Great job guys

[@thecrtf4953]

3:53 is a solid highlight not only with the really cool visual of them bobbing up and down in beat with the flow but the changing from normal to cultists attire That and the flow of the verse is great! Overall! Another absolutely stupendous video that flows so well and has a killer beat! Hurrah for Stupendieum!

I love how the beat even sounds like an engine huffing down a railway! Everything about this song is flawless!

[@lbm8972]

Holy cow the production value of this song is crazy. The lyrics are in line with some of the best you've ever done.

[@enemetal4685]

This is why I love you Stupendium, the production value, the acting, the outfits, the sets, the lighting, the special effects, collaborating and the great rhymes and beats, for a horror game I've never even heard of before, It's beyond entertaining

[@Sophera01]

3:52 is my favorite part; love the callback to that song. It fit so well!

[@risingskyz]

“You might say we’ve got a loco-motive” I don’t know how you can be this clever with lyrics EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

"The train's not just cancelled, it's damn well deplatformed!" This enby deserves a flippin medal for their lyrical creativity.

This was absolutely fantastic. Your work, as ever, remains exemplary in visual execution. Your performance and that of your guest were both magnificent. My especial favorite was, as ever, the tight weave of your rhyming couplets. I remain envious of your ability to pen verse.

[@foldervtolvr]

I love how it becomes more and more obvious that they are the cultists until the halfway mark. It's a great little detail that I just love

[@QLDrailfan798]

as a steam fan myself, it is amazing to see how much historical stuff there is in this, and if you look on the seat where the guys tied up, its says GWR, which was and is a real-life railway company that operates in the west of Britain (hence the name) also the coach used in this one is quite possibly a British railways mark 1 coach, and for those who don't know what British railways was, they were a company formed together in 1948 right after ww2 because the rails and rollingstock were so overused.

[@DarkerGames]

This was not what I was expecting took my by surprise I knew what game it was but didn’t know what this would sound like and now I do and I love it. Incredible Choo Choo Charles song Stupendium and Dan Bull have a marvelous day 🤘🤘👍👍🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@DJ-Scott-E]

This TRACK is awesome. I RAILy enjoyed it. Your TRAINing with Dan Bull paid off. ❤️

[@tundrafire4824]

I cant stop listening to this song. It's nostalgic, somehow. Reminds me of old cartoons in the production, and the flow of the lyrics and melody flow so well together. And the chorus is one of the best I have heard in a long time. "Every life has a light in the tunnel ahead, but you might just find that behind it instead of a Heaven is a engine and the devil inbred." It just works.

[@AverageEldritchEntity]

You know, it takes quite a lot of effort to make me LOVE a song about a game I've never heard of, but this- it pulls it off quite handily! The wordplay, the rhyming, the puns, and the sheer amount of CHARISMA! Bravissimo!

Your comment just rhymes with the line I was listening to in the song wow

[@Bleachfan872]

It's been a full year since this Track was released, my Train-Wreck of a life has kept me busy, so I feel rather Railed now that I'm finally listening to this masterpiece. Honestly, I'm Steaming mad I didn't hear this before, despite the Whistle having gone off and everything, it's really Grinding my Gears, I'll tell you. Ever since you started on this Platform, it's been one great Station after another, and the views never disappoint. Honestly, it's been such a great ride aboard your Locomotive that I keep missing the Stop I was supposed to get off at, I suppose that's just life trying to Coach me that I should be paying better attention. Then again, with as many Carriages as you've been hauling down The Line without hitting a Dead End, I don't really see a reason to Depart so early when our Destination is so late. Now, I know some people are getting upset with me for dragging this out and rightly so, so I Shale be going now. Thank you for having us all along for the ride, Stupendium, and god speed, you'll need it to get away from Charlie...

[@sebastiangranados6985]

This was jaw droping, the costumes, the acting, the as usual absolutly awesome lyrics, and the good narrative presence of Charles throught the song, as they fear him and need to keep him fed to survive, and also the incredible replica of the Train just incredible, Bravo to you two for making something this awesome

[@hotelroom404]

Here’s a comment explaining every reference I can find, if theirs more, I’ll add them as needed 1:05 the tune of this part is a reference to 16 tons by Tennessee Ford 1:25 a pun on a railway worker strike and being attacked by Charles (a literal railway strike) 1:36 a pun on a train working (running) and actual running (Charles has legs so he’s the only train that can literally run) 1:48 a pun on runaway train accidents 1:50 a reference to the ‘light at the end of the tunnel’ people see when entering heaven 2:44 a reference to dining cars. A dining car is a train car that also serves food like a restaurant 2:50 a flue is the thing that smoke comes out of on steam engines 3:53 Engine Engine Number 9 is a single by Roger Miller 4:08 HS2 is an upcoming High Speed train (hence the name HS2) that will be completed in 2029 4:16 ‘loco’ is British slang for a train locomotive, and is the Spanish word for insane 4:27 the Chupacabra is a creature in Spanish folklore that eats livestock 4:50 this line was confirmed to be a reference to the song ‘A little priest’ from Sweeney Todd 4:58 a reference to Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie

[@Combes_]

4:30 Leaves on the line make locomotives' wheels slip, also pun with 'leave'

[@mothcatcher893]

2:37 Also, siding here refers to the low-speed track sections in railways.

I dont know why but the "Engine, Engine, Number 9" part has been living in my head rent free for over a week

Oh, man. The lyrics, always the lyrics. They give me so much chills with their great poetic rhymes and rhythms.

[@JedioftheRose]

YES! I love a good “Sixteen Tons” reference/sample. It seems appropriate for a coal-driven train. ‘A dining car’? Really? *groan* Wow, that was a very risqué verse. Excellent work on the quality of the video and the song, as always, to you both

[@DemonLord_is_Delusional]

[@thewatertastesfunny]

4:26 i like how in the background you can hear the others laugh their asses off at "THE EL CHOO-CHOOPACABRA"

[@arandommat]

Honestly I think that, with the well made lyrics and visuals, someone who hasn't played or seen the game could follow along with the story. The song makes it apparent that there's a bloodthristy monster that looks like a train called Charles (or Charlie), and that people are sacrifing others to it to protect themselves. Then there's the big reveal at the end showing Charles' freaky appearance. Makes me appreciate this awsome song alot more.

The fact that Stupendium and Danbull puts on such a good acting and singing performance was awesome to watch. They should be hired to do movies because they would do great together.
