Crucifixion Song

And when You became a man
Well, the Spirit fell upon you like a dove.
And the river flashed and the lightning swelled
With the clamoring of angels, from above.

And you learned what it was to be sanctified
To be taken up in a blinding cloud of light.
And you learned what it means to be crucified
To be left alone in the silent, screaming night.

Chorus

This Train, this train, this train, this train
Gonna’ take me to where I’ll be.
And this pain, this pain, this pain, this pain
Gonna’ take me to where I see.

Verse 2

And when you were just a girl
Well, the spirit fell upon you like a dove.
And you learned about the pain and rain
you gotta’ stand in by yourself because of love.

Well, you bled some tears and you cried some blood
and you wrestled with angels in the mud for light.
And you learned what it was to be crucified
Though you try to run, though you try to hide tonight.

CHORUS (2X)

When I was just a boy
The Spirit fell upon me like a dove
Well I shook it off and I crawled away
Searched the naked neon clay, for love

I bled some blood and I cried some tears
And tonight that bird may reappear, in light
I’m gonna’ learn what it means to be crucified
Though I try to run, though I try to hide tonight.

CHORUS (2X)

St. Anthony and The Mystery Train image

St. Anthony and The Mystery Train Durham, North Carolina

A band of storytellers taking cues from the magical realism of Tom Waits, the free-associations of Bob Dylan, and the misfit spirituals of Johnny Cash. The stories inside the music are best described as a stream of Southern-Gothic consciousness, short pieces of theatre in which every musician, playing a combination of garage rock, blues, & country, is a "character." ... more
