Track Insight / Lyrics

I trim the wick while cannons speak The glass shakes on the lantern peak No ship in sight just smoke and flame The sea forgets the land's old name I write the bearings just the same A helmet sits in borrowed mud Where poppies drink the soldiers' blood The light sweeps slow across the bay War comes home to fade away War comes home to fade away I know the rhythm of the guns Like winter storms that block the suns Each boom a heartbeat in the chest The gulls fly west they know the rest The tide brings nothing but the crest The keeper's log stays clean and dry I write the range I write the sky No names just numbers just the sound Of iron falling on the ground The fog rolls in without a sound A helmet sits in borrowed mud Where poppies drink the soldiers' blood The light sweeps slow across the bay War comes home to fade away War comes home to fade away The lens turns heavy in its frame Each flash a prayer each dark the same I served the light I kept the watch Now death comes marching to the hatch The beam cuts through the smoke's black latch Morning breaks on cratered sand No footprints left to understand Just rusted steel and bleached white bone The sea claims all the sea claims home I tend the lamp I walk alone A helmet sits in borrowed mud Where poppies drink the soldiers' blood The light sweeps slow across the bay War comes home to fade away War comes home to fade away The light sweeps slow the guns decay The lens turns slow through morning gray The guns go silent fade away The lamp burns on another day
