Track Insight / Lyrics
You rock slow on splintered pine
Embers kiss the broken shrine
Salt wind carries ash like tide
Lantern gutters deep inside
Fire dances on cracked stone
You watch the light die all alone
Weathered hands know every spark
Night waits past the final dark
Crows pick at the ashen ground
No bell tolls, no keeper's sound
Your chair groans with rope and rust
Memories grind like wave to dust
Flame leans west where gulls don't cry
You've seen the sun drown, seen it die
No ship comes, no signal fire
Just smoke and twisted copper wire
Fire dances on cracked stone
You watch the light die all alone
Weathered hands know every spark
Night waits past the final dark
The oil's low, the wick is frayed
No coast guard left, no debt unpaid
You'll tend this pyre till dawn breaks gray
Then rock to sleep where keepers stay
Dawn bleeds thin on cathedral stone
Your chair sits empty, splintered bone
The bonfire pops a final spark
You've kept the light against the dark
Fire dances on cracked stone
You watch the light die all alone
Weathered hands know every spark
Night waits past the final dark
Rock slow now, the watch is done
Salt and ash become as one
