Track Insight / Lyrics
Rusted frame on cold gray stone
Fire dances on cracked chrome
Bell won't ring for kings no more
Road don't care for dusty lore
Hollow footsteps kiss the ash
Heavy boots and silent tread
Every pilgrim pays the cash
None walk back the path they fled
Ash and iron, spoke and flame
Count the steps and call the name
Bonfire flickers, wheels don't turn
Lessons that the road don't learn
Ash and iron, spoke and flame
Meter's due but none complain
Coiled sword keeps the dark at bay
Crickets sing in hollow gear
Souls pile up like fare each day
Grease won't wash the scent of fear
Hollow footsteps kiss the ash
Heavy boots and silent tread
Every pilgrim pays the cash
None walk back the path they fled
Ash and iron, spoke and flame
Count the steps and call the name
Bonfire flickers, wheels don't turn
Lessons that the road don't learn
Ash and iron, spoke and flame
Meter's due but none complain
Knight in gold don't tip his hat
Sorcerer counts coins in hand
Cleric prays while wheels go flat
Thief just laughs at where I stand
I've hauled corpses, kings, and fools
Seen the link fed fat and lean
Every rider breaks the rules
But the frame stays tight and clean
Spokes remember every weight
Iron don't negotiate
Ash and iron, spoke and flame
Count the steps and call the name
Bonfire flickers, wheels don't turn
Lessons that the road don't learn
Ash and iron, spoke and flame
Meter's due but none complain
Ash settles in my basket deep
Kindling cracks the quiet night
Promises the pilgrims keep
Dawn won't bring no morning light
Ash and iron, spoke and flame
Count the steps and call the name
Bonfire flickers, wheels don't turn
Lessons that the road don't learn
Ash and iron, spoke and flame
Meter's paid in smoke and shame
Ash and iron...
Spokes count the chosen feet
Ash and iron... complete
