The Great Train Robbery (of Ol Virginia)

This is the first Dreadnot music video for the leading track of our new CD [Sons of Love and Rage], "The Great Train Robbery of Old VA."
The song is spliced together with bits of the 1903 silent movie, "The Great Train Robbery" (weird eh?)
Thank you to subscribers and to all the people who have bought, and are planning to buy our cd! For all those planning on it, check it out here:

Lyrics:
The Great Train Robbery of VA

blue skies hide behind the tall mountain ridge
we slowly take steps over a thin rickety bridge
80 ft. be the drop and the waters running cold
cross without no problem, let the story unfold
were just two bank robbers who aint looking for the coin
but a way into remembrance, we wont disappoint
see we stole your horses from your farm on the way
to the great train robbery of old VA....

Break upon the hills with our back to the past
our eyes to the future of the railroad tracks
gotta blueprint in mind painted ever so dark
and a gun at my hip ready to make its mark
hear steel on steel so we jet through the fields
chasing the sound of a grinding wheel
a tumbleweed and dust then the echo of silence
the eye of the storm of a riot

blind to the rise of the plan we devise
were 27 passengers so cozy inside
ride left side then swing round the back from my horse
then I made it my course to destroy you and yours
nothing in the personal its been from the start
just history in the making and Im playing my part
there were screams and there were bellows saying please dont shoot
take the loot thought they knew that was the reasoning, the truth
we storm through the tears and we thrash through the innocent
shouting that the end is not a threat but the imminent
one man knocked cold and the halls filled with fear
then a voice of concern came from the engineer
open up the cabin barrel aimed at his frame
said the old west is taken over this east side train
no more names, no games, up off your knees, no confessing
for nobody can change the present future that Im stressing

no x3

and then a shot x4
