Burnin' train (video)

C - G - C (2x)

C

1. Zero’s my number, time is my hunter,

G C

I wanted you to heal me, but instead you set me on fire.

C

We were out over the borders, I washed you in holy water,

G C

we whispered our black prayers and rose up in flames.

F C F C

Take me on your burnin’ train, take me on your burnin’ train !

C

2. White sun burnin’, black wings beatin’,

G

I ran my fingers ‘cross the hollow of your stomach

C

as you lay breathing.

C

With our shared faith, rising dark and decayed,

G C

take me and shake me from this mortal cage.

F C F C

Take me on your burnin’ train, take me on your burnin’ train !

F C

+ Somеthing’s shining in the light ‘neath your breast,

F C - G

the thick smell of you on my chest.

+ instrumental = verse 2 + G

C

3. On your bed of thorns I brought you shining gifts,

G C

wiped the sweat from your brow and I touched your lips.

C

Sheets stained with sweat, outside the endless rain,

G C

darlin’ I’m blessed in your blood and marked by Cain.

F C F C

Take me on your burnin’ train, take me on your burnin’ train !

F C

Take me on your burnin’ train.

+ G + instrumental = verse 3 + C ~
