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 border, 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 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
