Steel is heavy on my hip
Iron plates begin to slip
Old oil stains the broken stone
Walking this long road alone
Counting boots on blackened grit
Where the orange embers sit
Rest my blade beside the heat
Rhythm of a tired beat
Low light burning in the rain
Wash away the salt and stain
Keep the flame a steady glow
Nowhere left for me to go
Sooty wind begins to blow
Watch the golden embers grow
Tarnished gold upon my wrist
Hidden in a greyish mist
Low light burning in the rain
Wash away the salt and stain
Keep the flame a steady glow
Nowhere left for me to go
Warmth upon my frozen skin
Where the long night must begin
Heavy armor, heavy soul
Trying just to feel a whole
Breathe the smoke and taste the brine
Cross the old and jagged line
One more circle round the fire
Lifting up a lonely spire
Steel is cold and edges dull
Empty as a bleached white skull
Counting steps until the end
Waiting for a long lost friend
Low light burning in the rain
Wash away the salt and stain
Keep the flame a steady glow
Nowhere left for me to go
Just a spark in the grey
Wait for a brand new day
Keep it glowing.
