There's a long black train Coming down the line Feeding off the souls that are lost and crying Rails of sin only evil remains Watch out brother for that long black train Look to the heavens You can look to the skies You can find redemption Staring back into your eyes There is protection and there's peace the same Burnin' your ticket for that long black train 'Cause there's victory in the Lord I say Victory in the Lord Cling to the father and his holy name And don't go riding on that long black train There's an engineer on that long black train Making you wonder if your ride is worth the pain He's just a waitin' on your heart to say Let me ride on that long black train But you know there's victory in the Lord I say Victory in the Lord Cling to the father and his holy name And don't go riding on that long black train Well I can hear the whistle from a mile away It sounds so good But I must stay away That train is a beauty making everybody stare But its only destination is the middle of nowhere But you know there's victory in the Lord I say Victory in the Lord Cling to the father and his holy name And don't go riding on that long black train I said cling to the father and his holy name and don't go ridin' on that black train Yes watch out brother for that long black train That devil's a drivin' that long black train
