Who are we, the Shuteye Train?

4.

Hide at night and dread our banner. Sue for peace in a lowly stammer.
2  The Shuteye Train, the Shuteye Train, you’ll try and die in the Shuteye Train.
3  Be thou boomer, take a number. Count your days then die forever.
4  Falling now be we the hammer, crushing blows, yes, we deliver.
5  We deliver, we deflower, we demember defutured terror.
6  Our tracks abide. Our tracks abut the abyssal ever. Our tracks abridge the Nihil River.
7  Who are we the Shuteye Train? 
We are the Disaborted,
        Misbegotten
               Exdead
                     Unburied 
                           Children of
                            The murdered
                              Yet to be.
                            We’re the rage
                        And rape of never. 
We’re the Word and War for Ever 1111001  1010101  0010101  0000010 1111001  1010101  0010101  1111001  1010101  0010101  0000010Out 1111001 0110001Out out 0010101  0001001  1010001  0000010  0100001  0011001  1010101  1010001Out of the blue0100001  0011001  1111001  1111001  0010001  1001101  0000010  0110001  1010101  1100001  1101001  1001001  0111001  1110001  0000010  0010001  1000001  0100101  1101001  0111001  1010001  1100101  1100101  0000010  1001001  0000010  1100001  1111001  1111001  1011001  1010001  0000010Out of the blue bloody...
