Track Insight / Lyrics
Steel skin turns a velvet red
Cold wind blows above my head
Cobble stones are slick and gray
Watching all the light decay
Wait for the frost to bite the bone
Standing in the alley alone
Wait for the salt to sting the grain
Waiting for the winter rain
I am the anchor in the snow
Watching all the seasons go
Heavy metal, frozen ground
Stillness is the only sound
Hedera helix climbs my side
Where the tiny beetles hide
Roots are drinking from the rust
Turning iron into dust
Wait for the frost to bite the bone
Standing in the alley alone
Wait for the salt to sting the grain
Waiting for the winter rain
I am the anchor in the snow
Watching all the seasons go
Heavy metal, frozen ground
Stillness is the only sound
Copper pipes are humming low
While the icy currents flow
Black ice glazes every wheel
Locking down the sleeping steel
I am the anchor in the snow
Watching all the seasons go
Heavy metal, frozen ground
Stillness is the only sound
Frozen moss in emerald green
Softest coat I have ever seen
Patient as a dormant seed
Giving everything I need
I am the anchor in the snow
Watching all the seasons go
Heavy metal, frozen ground
Stillness is the only sound
Midnight sky is velvet black
No one's coming on the track
Winter breath is sharp and clear
Keeping all the memories near
I am the anchor in the snow
Watching all the seasons go
Heavy metal, frozen ground
Stillness is the only sound
Iron rooted, deep and slow.
Watch the winter garden grow.
