Long Time Coming

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
