Steel rails scream in the freezing air
Cold wind pulls at the traveler's hair
Iron doors slide with a heavy sound
Heavy boots hit the frozen ground
Under blue lights and a cobalt sky
Watch the searchlights sweep the city high
Hear the chime of the speaker on the wall
One more soul for the empire to call
Concrete walls rise a thousand feet
Empty faces on a grey stone street
Blue beams cut through the morning haze
Lost inside of a sterile maze
Under blue lights and a cobalt sky
Watch the searchlights sweep the city high
Hear the chime of the speaker on the wall
One more soul for the empire to call
White masks move in a steady line
Wait for the bell and the copper sign
No one speaks as the sirens moan
In a city where you are alone
The engine stops with a final hiss
A cold goodbye and a frozen kiss
The clock is ticking on the station square
A heavy weight in the winter air
Glass and metal in a jagged row
Where the bitter wind begins to blow
Searchlights spin in a rhythmic dance
Giving no one a second chance
Under blue lights and a cobalt sky
Watch the searchlights sweep the city high
Hear the chime of the speaker on the wall
One more soul for the empire to call
Iron gates shut with a locking snap
Caught like a bird in a metal trap
Steel blue glare on a weary face
Welcome now to this hollow place
Under blue lights and a cobalt sky
Watch the searchlights sweep the city high
Hear the chime of the speaker on the wall
One more soul for the empire to call
The chime rings out.
The blue light stays.
Welcome home.
