Clock in at midnight fog eating the headlights
Radio static no fares for the long nights
Coiled sword stuck deep where the bonfire breathes low
Ash falls like ticket stubs watching the embers glow
This shift runs long on a Firelink Fare
No meter to drop when the hollows aren't there
Just kindling and chiming of bells that won't ring
Waiting for dawn that the cycle won't bring
Crestfallen sits slumped by the elevator door
Mumbles 'bout gods with a purpose no more
Firekeeper tends to the flame with no voice
I log the hours got no other choice
This shift runs long on a Firelink Fare
No meter to drop when the hollows aren't there
Just kindling and chiming of bells that won't ring
Waiting for dawn that the cycle won't bring
Lautrec smiles wide with a sunshine medal pinned
Petrus counts rites where the dark begins
Patches kicks stones near the lift's cold lip
Trusty old trap that the weary don't miss
This shift runs long on a Firelink Fare
No meter to drop when the hollows aren't there
Just kindling and chiming of bells that won't ring
Waiting for dawn that the cycle won't bring
Crow takes the nest carries me back to the start
No toll on the bridge just rhythm in the chest
Flame flickers out but the meter stays on
Long way round is the short way home
Dawn breaks grey on the parish stone floor
Bell gargoyles wake still I watch by the door
Shift ends quiet no passenger pays
Just ash on the upholstery drifting in haze
This shift runs long on a Firelink Fare
No meter to drop when the hollows aren't there
Just kindling and chiming of bells that won't ring
Waiting for dawn that the cycle won't bring
Firelink Fare yeah the meter don't lie
Firelink Fare under kiln sky
Key turns off ash on the seat
Firelink Fare end of the street
