Burnin' Train

(album: Letter To You - 2020)

Zero's my number, time is my hunter
I wanted you to heal me but instead you set me on fire
We were out over the borders, I washed you in holy water
We whispered our black prayers and rose up in flames

Take me on your burning train
Take me on your burning train

White sun burning, black wings beating
I ran my fingers 'cross the hollow of your stomach as you lay breathing
With our shared faith
Rising dark and decayed
Take me and shake me from this mortal cage

Take me on your burning train
Take me on your burning train

Something's shining in the light 'neath your breast
The thick smell of you on my chest

On your bed of thorns, I brought you shining gifts
Wiped the sweat from your brow and I touched your lips
Sheets stained with sweat, outside the endless rain
Darling, I'm blessed in your blood and marked by Cain

Take me on your burning train
Take me on your burning train
Take me on your burning train
