Track Insight / Lyrics
Meter clicks on the dashboard glass
Night shift starts, let the hours pass
Bonfire coughs in the cathedral yard
Warmth don't last, but it hits me hard
Clock ticks slow on the cracked vinyl seat
Estus steam rises from the thermos heat
Crestfallen warrior leans on the stone
Mumbles directions to a fate unknown
I keep the flame while the hollows sleep
Promises made are promises deep
Meter don't matter when the fire's low
Just one more ride before I go
Skeleton wheels click on the ancient floor
Rhythm angular like a math rock score
Firekeeper tends to the dying spark
Blindfold tight in the ruins dark
I keep the flame while the hollows sleep
Promises made are promises deep
Meter don't matter when the fire's low
Just one more ride before I go
Bell tolls once for the chosen undead
Paths converge where the old king led
No GPS for the kiln ahead
Just ash and bone on the final spread
I keep the flame while the hollows sleep
Promises made are promises deep
Meter don't matter when the fire's low
Just one more ride before I go
Dawn cracks white through the archway stone
Engine idles, a low diesel groan
Coins in the box for the fare I paid
Firelink memory never fades
Shift ends quiet, the bonfire dims
Road unwinds past the ruined limbs
Taxi pulls out through the foggy gate
Carrying the weight of a heavy fate
I keep the flame while the hollows sleep
Promises made are promises deep
Meter don't matter when the fire's low
Just one more ride before I go
Engine idles, the fire gets cold
Story of the shrine, never gets old
Keep the meter running slow
