Track Insight / Lyrics
Soot on a linen sleeve.
A moment just to breathe.
He leans on cedar beams.
The midday sun is beams.
Heavy hammer, cooling steel.
Turning on a wooden wheel.
Iron and noon, gold and grey.
Watching all the world away.
Calloused hands and blackened skin.
Where the castle walls begin.
Bellows resting by the door.
Ash is scattered on the floor.
Heavy hammer, cooling steel.
Turning on a wooden wheel.
Iron and noon, gold and grey.
Watching all the world away.
Rattay sleeps in yellow heat.
Dust is settling on the street.
He counts the crows upon the wall.
Waiting for the bell to call.
Heavy hammer, cooling steel.
Turning on a wooden wheel.
Iron and noon, gold and grey.
Watching all the world away.
Copper coins and leather straps.
Casting light in narrow gaps.
He tastes salt upon his lip.
Letting every tension slip.
The anvil waits for the blow.
The orange embers start to glow.
A sudden wind, a sharp relief.
A summer pause, a quiet thief.
Shadows shift beneath the tower.
Counting every idle hour.
He closes eyes to see the blue.
Until the ringing bell is true.
Heavy hammer, cooling steel.
Turning on a wooden wheel.
Iron and noon, gold and grey.
Watching all the world away.
Iron and noon. Iron and noon.
Gold and grey.
