Track Insight / Lyrics
The grey expanse, a liquid steel,
A restless breath the city feels.
I stand and watch, a weathered stone,
The lake wind's voice, a mournful drone.
My roots run deep in shifting sand,
A silent witness to this land.
I've felt the sun, the summer haze,
And winter's grip in frozen days.
Lacus Ventus, cold and free,
Whispering secrets just to me.
Across the water, shadows creep,
While Chicago slumbers in its sleep.
The steel mills sigh, a rusty plea,
Reflecting lights for all to see.
Each wave a pulse, a rhythmic beat,
Washing worries from the street.
Lacus Ventus, cold and free,
Whispering secrets just to me.
Across the water, shadows creep,
While Chicago slumbers in its sleep.
I've seen the ships sail to and fro,
Heard laughter drift, and felt the snow.
The gulls cry out a lonely call,
As twilight shadows start to fall.
Lacus Ventus, cold and free,
Whispering secrets just to me.
Across the water, shadows creep,
While Chicago slumbers in its sleep.
The concrete cracks, the pathways bend,
A constant struggle without end.
But still I grow, a steadfast form,
Resisting every wind and storm.
Lacus Ventus, cold and free,
Whispering secrets just to me.
Across the water, shadows creep,
While Chicago slumbers in its sleep.
Lacus Ventus, strong and bright,
Holding darkness to the light.
A restless spirit, wild and bold,
A story in the water told.
The wind still blows, a chilling grace,
A timeless rhythm, time and space.
I stand and watch, a silent friend,
Until the very, very end.
