Track Insight / Lyrics
In darkness fractured concrete absorbs the sun
A stray hound's eyes glint quartz, reflections of midnight's clone
Scavenging, pricked by memories of whistles, names,
He howls at emptiness, an animal's plaintive, futile claims
On spaces left him, in an urban expanse unkind
[Pre-
Through metal latticework and fractured light
The dog carries the weight of isolation's blight
Yet beneath the cold diffusion of city's glare
An ember flickers, a spark of warmth he dares
Rise up through the grates, through industrial haze
A dog's defiant, sorrowful anthem, an urban, wavering phase
He breaks the concrete tomb and shines, they find
The spark of life, a beacon in a world left behind
Amidst the din of metal, glass, and wheels
The hound's pitted brow bears the lines of endless dealing
A transactional existence, void of human touch
But in the fleeting glimmer of hope on concrete clutch
He finds purpose, refuge, a reprieve from outer cold
[Pre-
Through metal latticework and fractured light
The dog carries the weight of isolation's blight
Yet beneath the cold diffusion of city's glare
An ember flickers, a spark of warmth he dares
Rise up through the grates, through industrial haze
A dog's defiant, sorrowful anthem, an urban, wavering phase
He breaks the concrete tomb and shines, they find
The spark of life, a beacon in a world left behind
The drumbeat quiets, guitar chokes and bends
A moment's fragile calm before the rage commences again
Screaming solos rage like the hound's anguished howls
Until the opening riffs return, and the dog resumes his mournful prowls
Fractured notes and caustic riffs sear the air
Echoing the dog's anguish and the city's harsh glare
Heated discord and metallic fury unleash
A sonic manifestation of his desperate pursuit
Rise up through the grates, through industrial haze
A dog's defiant, sorrowful anthem, an urban, wavering phase
He breaks the concrete tomb and shines, they find
The spark of life, a beacon in a world left behind
In the embers of city's fading light
The stray dog rests, his Concrete Tombspark ignited tonight.
