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 heaven's, 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 it's 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
