Track Insight / Lyrics
Sweat-stained apron, grease under nails
From dawn to dusk, it's all the same
The city's heartbeat never stills
Coffee fumes, late night tales
But out there, in the squares so old
A secret waits for drinking eyes
When neon signs grow frigid cold
And city fog starts to rise
I'm lost in the telescope's gaze
Midnight Rome, in darkest ways
Sifting motes of whispered praise
For love and life on Roman days
Domes and colonnades fade in view
Tiber's flow, whispers of the past
Moonless night, yet stars shine true
The Eternal City, we're aghast
Synthetic pulse, a neon kiss
Urban dream, in endless spin
Raising lenses to the midnight sky
Grasping for the stars up high
A solitary sentinel flies
In cobblestoned alleys deep inside
But out there, in the squares so old
A secret waits for drinking eyes
When neon signs grow frigid cold
And city fog starts to rise
I'm lost in the telescope's gaze
Midnight Rome, in darkest ways
Sifting motes of whispered praise
For love and life on Roman days
In time, a purple dawn will break
But in the night, the city won't fake
Its mystic charm, its history bakes
In every cobble, every brick at stake
Neon specks in cobblestone night
The telescope's lonely vigil
Sweat-stained apron, grease under nails
In the city's heartbeat, still the same
