There's a long black train comin' down the line   Feeding off the souls that are lost and cryin'   Rails of sin, only evil remains   Watch out, brother, for that long black train      Look to the Heavens, you can look to the sky   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 ridin' on that long black train      There's an engineer on that long black train   Makin' you wonder if the 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 ridin' 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 makin' 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 ridin' on that long black train      I said cling to the Father and His Holy name   And don't go ridin' on that long black train      Yeah, watch out brother for that long black train   That devil's drivin' that long black train
