Track Insight / Lyrics
Shadows creep on ancient stone
As dawn's pale light starts to atone
For the night's dark, velvet throne
A lone fisherman awaits his moan
He casts his line, a patient heart
Hoping to catch a silver start
Of dawn's promise as he depart
The world stirs from a lonely art
He's captor, prey, in darkest part
Adrift on waves of endless art
Lost in silent, icy blue
Where sea and sky converge anew
The city's din a distant dew
He finds his solace in the view
Moonlight burnished like polished pew
Reflects his thoughts in ripples new
Moonlit calm, a peaceful shrine
Where the city's noise can't climb
He finds his peace, his quiet time
As Rome awakens, one by one, in line
Before the cafes bustle awake
A moment's truce, heart not forsake
The tired from labor, the awake
Those seeking solace, lost or frayed
He's brief respite, a hidden lake
Where the world's wrenching din partakes
Lost in silent, icy blue
Where sea and sky converge anew
The city's din a distant dew
He finds his solace in the view
Moonlight burnished like polished pew
Reflects his thoughts in ripples new
Moonlit calm, a peaceful shrine
Where the city's noise can't climb
He finds his peace, his quiet time
As Rome awakens, one by one, in line
Perhaps the tide will change his mind
Mistaken dreams, love left behind
The sea's great mystery unwind
And she, the lost, will be found in time
Till then, a fisherman confines
His loneliness beneath the moons' design
Moonlit calm, a peaceful shrine
Where the city's noise can't climb
He finds his peace, his quiet time
As Rome awakens, one by one, in line
The first light breaks, the day begins
The fisherman reels in the night's thin
Silver cord, his prayer, his sin
As dawn's pale light again portends
Shadows creep on ancient stone
And he departs, back to his unknown
