Track Insight / Lyrics
Salt crust clings to brass lamp glass
Kerosene smells of decades past
Wrench turns deep in cylinder throat
Nitrous hisses, a silver note
Gold light spills on grease-stained wood
Piston sings where lantern stood
Two worlds weld in morning flame
Keeper's ghost and mechanic's name
Tide charts fade on peeling wall
Torque specs chalked in graphite scrawl
Lens once swept the black offshore
Now it catches engine roar
Gold light spills on grease-stained wood
Piston sings where lantern stood
Two worlds weld in morning flame
Keeper's ghost and mechanic's name
Brass gears mesh with rusted rod
Combustion breathes, a waking god
Oil slick shimmers, rainbow thin
Prismed where the sun begins
No foghorn blows, no bell buoy tolls
Just camshaft click and valve gear rolls
Salt air mixes, gasoline sweet
Two hands steady, one heartbeat
Crankshaft turns the flywheel round
Lost at sea, now solid ground
Timing light strobes, sharp and clean
Brightest beacon ever seen
Gold light spills on grease-stained wood
Piston sings where lantern stood
Two worlds weld in morning flame
Keeper's ghost and mechanic's name
Attic window frames the sky
Horizon bleeds from gray to white
Engine purrs, a low hymn hums
Daybreak comes, and daylight comes
Gold light spills on grease-stained wood
Piston sings where lantern stood
Two worlds weld in morning flame
Keeper's ghost and mechanic's name
Gold light spills, the welding done
Twin beams rise with rising sun
Nitrous dawn, the tuning's true
Light keeps burning, breaking through
