Rusty Rain Railroad

From the side of a freight car he hangs his indigo heart on the rails as the metal wheels harmonize the rain amidst the rust and thunder... The message is clear..."Jesus saves-Jesus saves". climb aboard "faith" away your pain, get down on brittle knees- be saved. It's a take care of number one world everyone else be damned live for the moment trash away the soul there's no God of tomorrow. resistance to truth turns the blood black. On the side of a freight car he hangs an indigo heart rust and thunder spinning to another strange land. The line of impatience grows- red demons in their eyes what does it matter, everyone's gonna die... sooner than they think Jesus hangs from a freight car in the rusted rain nobody listening nobody caring nobody saved everyone be damned.
