I remember how the sky looked
On the first day that it rained
And I remember how the earth shook
It sounded like one hundred trains
And I believed it was salvation
And I believed it was the king
I never knew something could rule somebody
I'd never felt that kind of sting
It's been a long time coming
It's been a long lonesome fight
It's been a long time coming
A long journey through the night
Through the night
All around my pillars crumbled
All around my friends fled
All around I felt deception
At every word that people said
In the dark there was no vision
In the dark there was just pain
But nobody could get near me
'Cause it moved just like a train
It's been a long time coming
It's been a long lonesome fight
It's been a long time coming
A long journey through the night
Then I heard one thousand angels
As I turned to it again
They reached out their arms to save me
Before I rolled out on that train
It's been a long time coming
It's been a long lonesome fight
It's been a long time coming
A long journey through the night
Through the night
Through the night
