Cold gray river flows below
Where the heavy currents go
Underneath the concrete beam
Silver water cuts a seam
Black keys frozen in a row
Where the wild green nettles grow
Metal teeth are locked in place
Casting out a hollow face
Iron ink on a rusted page
Locked inside a heavy cage
Type the words that no one read
Paint the river bright and red
Copper wires start to fray
Turning all the gold to gray
Oil stains on the river bed
Sinking like a piece of lead
Iron ink on a rusted page
Locked inside a heavy cage
Type the words that no one read
Paint the river bright and red
Press the lever, feel the snap
Falling in a metal trap
Click the hammer, hit the bell
Ringing like a hollow shell
Misty vapor hides the view
Turning all the white to blue
Old machines forget the hand
Sinking in the river sand
Flash the lens and hold the frame
Giving every ghost a name
Capture every broken key
Sinking in the salty sea
Iron ink on a rusted page
Locked inside a heavy cage
Type the words that no one read
Paint the river bright and red
Iron ink, iron ink.
Let it sink.
