Track Insight / Lyrics
Dusk settles heavy on the orchard fields
Frosty wind howls like a restless child
Snowbank dunes stretch far and wide
A winter kingdom, crystal and ice-white
I'm a sentinel on silent watch
Beneath the moon's pale, frost-rimed hatch
Truck's diesel purr, a steady heartbeat
Keeping vigil through the winter's sleep
Headlights pierce the pearled fog's veil
Glimmers of life in the snow's pale gale
Bare branches etched against the dark
A thousand skeletal hands, gesture stark
I'm a sentinel on silent watch
Beneath the moon's pale, frost-rimed hatch
Truck's diesel purr, a steady heartbeat
Keeping vigil through the winter's sleep
Engine's warmth a sheltered cave
Where darkness rears and rages, then caves
But I endure, a frost-worn statue
Endless miles ticking down, my crusade
I'm a sentinel on silent watch
Beneath the moon's pale, frost-rimed hatch
Truck's diesel purr, a steady heartbeat
Keeping vigil through the winter's sleep
Dawn's first light, a ghostly glow
Paints the snowfields rose and gold
The day's rebirth, a silent hush
Winter's slumber deepens, my watch now rush
I'm a sentinel on silent watch
Beneath the moon's pale, frost-rimed hatch
Truck's diesel purr, a steady heartbeat
Keeping vigil through the winter's sleep
Engine's hum, a lullaby
Frost-kissed miles fading by
Propelling through, I'll never sleep
Forever on the move, the sentinel's creed
