[Verse 1] Sinatra rides at dawn Through a bone-dry hell Ash on the dash And a knife for a bell Crows on the fence line Watch his engine crawl Six scars on the hood And a grin through it all [Pre-Chorus] He keeps one eye on the mirror One eye on the sand He knows the dead don't wait And the living take the stand [Chorus] Roll, roll, murder train (Sinatra rolls) Roll, roll, murder train Fire in the lane When the team locks in You hear that iron reign Roll, roll, murder train (Murder train) [Verse 2] Up top sits the incinerator Barrels lit and primed It spits a red church sermon At anything in line Enemies come running From the dust and flame Then the barrel blooms open And nobody says their name [Pre-Chorus] He keeps one eye on the mirror One eye on the sand He knows the dead don't wait And the living take the stand [Chorus] Roll, roll, murder train (Sinatra rolls) Roll, roll, murder train Fire in the lane When the team locks in You hear that iron reign Roll, roll, murder train (Murder train) [Verse 3] Sometimes out the gray haze Comes Naxa in his rig A big auger tank With a bite too big Steel teeth chewing bad roads Like a preacher eats sin When Naxa falls in behind him That's when the run begins [Bridge] No flag in the breeze Just smoke and sun No saint in this wasteland Only work gets done Side by side in the ruin They take what the world won't give If you hear that engine choir You better let 'em live [Chorus] Roll, roll, murder train (Sinatra rolls) Roll, roll, murder train Fire in the lane When the team locks in You hear that iron reign Roll, roll, murder train (Murder train) [Outro] Sinatra keeps rolling Naxa keeps pace Two hard men and a rumor Rattling through the waste Roll, roll, murder train (Murder train)
