Track Insight / Lyrics
Rain slicks the steel of Shinjuku streets
Reflections break beneath my feet
A giant rests on dented crate
Breathing slow and breathing straight
His armor scratched by years of war
Dented plate and rusted core
A broadsword lies across his knees
Glowing faint from L-E-Ds
Chrome and rust in midnight drizzle
Knight sleeps hard while sirens sizzle
Camera captures what they miss
Beauty in a scar like this
Chrome and rust, a quiet trust
Vending machine hums electric hymn
Light spills out on concrete limb
He traces grooves on ancient blade
Promises that he has made
Chrome and rust in midnight drizzle
Knight sleeps hard while sirens sizzle
Camera captures what they miss
Beauty in a scar like this
Chrome and rust, a quiet trust
No dragon here to slay tonight
Just salarymen and glowing signs
My finger hovers on the click
Time suspends, the moments thick
A salaryman stumbles, pauses near
Sees the knight and feels the fear
Drops a coffee can beside the sword
Silent prayer, a silent word
Dawn bleeds pale through smog and wire
Knight stands up, feeds the fire
Sheathes the blade in worn leather strap
Vanishes into morning trap
Chrome and rust in midnight drizzle
Knight sleeps hard while sirens sizzle
Camera captures what they miss
Beauty in a scar like this
Chrome and rust, a quiet trust
Chrome and rust in midnight drizzle
Knight sleeps hard while sirens sizzle
Camera captures what they miss
Beauty in a scar like this
Chrome and rust, a quiet trust
Just chrome and rust in midnight dust
Shutter clicks, the roll ends now
Knight is gone, I don't know how
