Older Than Sin - The Builders and the Butchers

I was riding on an old black train

I was level neath the floor

Went upon my only wedding ring

Leave my ashes 'neath the door

Come sing me down the lane

I am older than sin

Come sing me down the lane

I am the mother and the father and the pain

I was broken like a china plate

A dog that’s chokin' on a bone

Went to bed about an hour late

Got a belly made of coal

Come sing me down the lane

I am older than sin

Come sing me down the lan

I am the mother and the fathr and the pain

It all comes burning down

It all comes burning down

Tonight

I was older than an old oak tree

That was bendin' 'neath the storm

Let the fire fall all over me

Turn to ashes in the morn

Come sing me down the lane

I am older than sin

Come sing me down the lane

I am the mother and the father and the pain

Come sing me down the lane

I am older than sin

Come sing me down the lane

I am the mother and the father and the pain

It all comes burning down

It all comes burning down

It all comes burning down

Tonight
