Track Insight / Lyrics
I was forged in a salty deep
Where the heavy currents sleep
Now I drag through a concrete maze
In a purple midnight haze
Cold iron on a neon street
Walking where the city beats
Heavy metal, midnight blue
Dragging home to something true
Oil slicks make a rainbow floor
Right beside a sliding door
I am rusted, I am old
In a world of plastic gold
Cold iron on a neon street
Walking where the city beats
Heavy metal, midnight blue
Dragging home to something true
Electric wires hum above
Like a ghost of a sailor's love
Taxis splash the blackened grit
While the electric lanterns lit
I miss the pull of the tide
Where the deep green waters hide
Now I scrape on the alley wall
Waiting for the night to fall
Steel and glass make a canyon wall
I can feel the city call
Heavy chain and a frozen link
Watching all the colors sink
Cold iron on a neon street
Walking where the city beats
Heavy metal, midnight blue
Dragging home to something true
Wet pavement is a mirror glass
Watching all the strangers pass
I am anchor, I am weight
Locked inside a city gate
Cold iron on a neon street
Walking where the city beats
Heavy metal, midnight blue
Dragging home to something true
Iron in the rain.
Just a heavy chain.
