Track Insight / Lyrics
Salt wind bites the rusted hinge
Keeper's hands don't flinch or cringe
Dry leaves skitter on cold stone
Light went dark thirty years gone
Logbook lists the storms survived
Ink dried up but he's alive
Blood moon rises, round and pale
Iron gate sings through the gale
Dry leaves dance on broken stone
Keeper knows he's not alone
Halloween claims this hallowed ground
Keeper stands, no fear is found
Tide rolls in with skeleton hands
Pulls the sand from iron bands
Moonlight paints the rust in red
Keeper nods his weathered head
Foot tambourine taps on the pier
Gang claps rise from far and near
Thirty years I trimmed the wick
Thirty years the light held thick
Now the gate swings on its own
Blood moon lights the path I've known
Harmonium drones through the mist
Mellotron sings, can't be dismissed
Blood moon rises, round and pale
Iron gate sings through the gale
Dry leaves dance on broken stone
Keeper knows he's not alone
Halloween claims this hallowed ground
Keeper stands, no fear is found
Organ drones from deep below
Cello bows pull slow and low
Vinyl crackle, tape flanger spin
Chorus effects pull keeper in
Stereo wide, the sound surrounds
Keeper stands on hallowed grounds
Gate stays open, hinge don't rust
Moon don't judge the bones and dust
Keeper smiles with salt-stung eyes
Halloween don't need disguise
Strummed guitar cuts through the fuzz
Voice rides clear, no need to hush
Blood moon rises, round and pale
Iron gate sings through the gale
Dry leaves dance on broken stone
Keeper knows he's not alone
Halloween claims this hallowed ground
Keeper stands, no fear is found
Blood moon climbs the autumn sky
Keeper watches, years gone by
Light returns in ghostly form
Keeper keeps the night still warm
