Track Insight / Lyrics
Meter runs but wheels don't turn
Rain writes scripts on taxi glass
Fare paid out in copper coins
Night shift ends at dawn's first blush
Broadsword leans on tiled wall
Rust blooms orange on cold blue steel
Scabbard rots in vinyl seat
Oaths fade like exhaust in air
Iron sleeps below the tracks
Dreams of battles, dreams of home
Crown weighs heavy, crown weighs light
Morning comes for kings and thieves
Passenger with briefcase stares
Doesn't see the dented helm
Doesn't hear the joints complain
Sees only rags on concrete bench
Mechanic checks the brake line wear
Driver checks the tire tread depth
Knight checks rust on blade's keen edge
All three know what fails first
Iron sleeps below the tracks
Dreams of battles, dreams of home
Crown weighs heavy, crown weighs light
Morning comes for kings and thieves
Wiper blades slap rhythm slow
Engine coughs at traffic light
Sword sings soft in minor key
Rest now, warrior, rest now
Dispatcher calls the next address
Radio crackles static loud
Knight sheathes peace in rusted steel
Another shift, another dawn
Iron sleeps below the tracks
Dreams of battles, dreams of home
Crown weighs heavy, crown weighs light
Morning comes for kings and thieves
Iron sleeps below the tracks
Dreams of battles, dreams of home
Crown weighs heavy, crown weighs light
Morning comes for kings and thieves
Morning comes for kings and thieves
Foot stomp fades on platform boards
Banjo rolls to silence now
