The Beast

THE BEAST

This train is a ribbon of steel
This train got a cutting wheel Running wild through
the mountain wind
To the Northern fields
and back again

It’s a long, long way to
the promised land
Gonna ride the Beast
as long as I can

Lost my child, Lost my wife Gotta make my way to another life
Lost my faith, But I got my hands Won’t let those wheels
kill another man

It’s a long, long way to
the promised land
Gonna ride the Beast
as long as I can

This train is a ribbon of steel
This train got a cutting wheel
Coal black smoke keeps rolling along Cross the river, into the dawn

I’ve come a long, long way to the promise land Gonna ride the Beast as long as I can
