lyrics
Judgement Day
18/1/2022
I hear that train,
I hear that train coming down the track,
But if I’m brave,
If I don’t flinch, if I don’t look back
I might escape,
But I feel this crushing weight
I’m so afraid,
And I fear that it’s too late.
For the Devil told me not to pray coz he wants my soul come Judgement Day,
All my good deeds swept away- watch them fade to black.
Until the time he calls for me I’ll live my life in reverie,
All my days spent wild and free burning down the track…
I hear that train,
I hear that train coming ‘ round the bend.
And I maintain,
That there’s no way to make amends.
I made my play,
Now there’s nothing I regret.
No more delays,
It’s time to clear my debts.
For the Devil told me not to pray coz he wants my soul come Judgement Day
All my good deeds swept away- watch them fade to black
Until the time he calls for me I’ll live my life in reverie
All my days spent wild and free burning down the track…
It’s not hard to decide which side of the line
I choose to live my life
I hear that train,
I hear that train bearing down so fast.
It’s time to pay,
For the sins of my dark past.
This is my fate,
And despair my only friend.
But I will stay (I will stay),
Steadfast until the end.
For the Devil told me not to pray coz he wants my soul come Judgement Day,
All my good deeds swept away- watch them fade to black.
Until the time he calls for me I’ll live my life in reverie,
All my days spent wild and free burning down the track…
I hear that train x3
