Fog rolls thick across the tracks
Projector hums behind my back
Reel spins holy ghost light pale
Choir breath fails where steel rails sail
Altos hum in vapor clouds
Hymnals burn without a sound
Film melts fast at eighteen frames
Prayer dissolves in diesel flames
Fog yard projection — watch it burn
Fog yard projection — never learn
Shout the verse where no one hears
Holy noise in diesel years
Lantern swings on switchman's pole
Light fractures through the smoke and coal
Splicer tape holds torn up psalms
Projector eats the breaking calms
Altos hum in vapor clouds
Hymnals burn without a sound
Film melts fast at eighteen frames
Prayer dissolves in diesel flames
Fog yard projection — watch it burn
Fog yard projection — never learn
Shout the verse where no one hears
Holy noise in diesel years
No congregation left to sing
Just the whistle's steel ring
No stained glass to catch the light
Just the yard at dead of night
Guitar screams like torn up film
Feedback hymns at kingdom come
Fog yard projection — watch it burn
Fog yard projection — never learn
Shout the verse where no one hears
Holy noise in diesel years
Fog yard projection — watch it burn
Fog yard projection — never learn
Reel runs out — the motor dies
Silence hums in holy guise
