Track Insight / Lyrics
Rain drizzled bullets on the broken highway
Tires as worn as the man's weary eyes
Miles of dark, empty road, no lights on the way
A lone harmonica moaned, desperation's sigh
Flickering embers, dancing in the dark
Warmth from yesterday, driving out the spark
In this ravaged world, in this haunted place
His own shadows fueling his lonely race
The bonfire's roar a lullaby to his soul
Fingers in his hair, a tangled, graying coil
Chloe's face whispered secrets in his mind
A mirage of love, forever left behind
Flickering embers, dancing in the dark
Warmth from yesterday, driving out the spark
In this ravaged world, in this haunted place
His own shadows fueling his lonely race
Dust devils swirled, like the ghosts of the land
The man watched them go, with a weary hand
The neon sign of a ghost
town flickered off in the distance
A mocking beacon, promising a false transcendence
Flickering embers, dancing in the dark
Warmth from yesterday, driving out the spark
In this ravaged world, in this haunted place
His own shadows fueling his lonely race
As the night wore on, the fire burned down low
The man gathered the embers, a precious, glowing load
He'd carry them with him, these sparks of his past
Illuminating the darkness, as he drove on, forever aghast
Flickering embers, dying in the dark
An ember of hope, a spark of the heart
In this ravaged world, in this haunted place
One man's resolve, fueling the lonely, endless race
He placed the final coal upon the dying flames
A small act of defiance, in this arid, shattered land
With a heavy breath, he rose and stepped into the night
Flickering embers thinning, as he rode off into the light.
