Track Insight / Lyrics
You stand inside the glass tower.
Counting down every cold hour.
The iron rails are black and wet.
A heavy debt you can't forget.
Cut through the gray, break the haze.
Lost in the grid, lost in the maze.
Watch for the spark, watch for the glow.
Steady the beam, keep it slow.
You see the freight cars roll on by.
Under a thick and leaden sky.
The diesel smoke is tasting sour.
You hold the switch, you hold the power.
Cut through the gray, break the haze.
Lost in the grid, lost in the maze.
Watch for the spark, watch for the glow.
Steady the beam, keep it slow.
The signal lamp is burning red.
The ghost of steam is waking dead.
You wipe the salt from off the pane.
You hear the rhythm of the train.
Cut through the gray, break the haze.
Lost in the grid, lost in the maze.
Watch for the spark, watch for the glow.
Steady the beam, keep it slow.
The oil is thick, the gear is tight.
One single flash to set it right.
No room for doubt, no room for sleep.
A lonely promise you must keep.
The morning mist is turning gold.
The metal frame is feeling old.
You shut the lens, you kill the light.
You survived another winter night.
Cut through the gray, break the haze.
Lost in the grid, lost in the maze.
Watch for the spark, watch for the glow.
Steady the beam, keep it slow.
Hold the light, hold the line.
Keep it slow, keep it fine.
Hold the line.
