I watch the salt spray hit the glass
I wait for all the ghosts to pass
The Nexus pulls the tide in deep
While all the tired sailors sleep
Ride the tide to the Nexus gate
Turn the wheel and defy your fate
Cold metal sparks in the midnight blue
Burning bright for a world made new
A golden crown in a storm of steel
The crushing weight of a heavy wheel
Old gods fight on a broken shore
I lock the bolt on the iron door
The lightning strikes on a copper wire
The frozen wind feeds a sudden fire
I see the flash of a hero's blade
A debt of blood that must be paid
Ride the tide to the Nexus gate
Turn the wheel and defy your fate
Cold metal sparks in the midnight blue
Burning bright for a world made new
Oil the gear and trim the wick
The clock is loud and the beat is quick
No one leaves till the battle ends
Broken steel that no hammer mends
The fog rolls in with a bitter chill
The beating heart of the city is still
I keep the beam on the jagged rock
Counting down on the ticking clock
Ride the tide to the Nexus gate
Turn the wheel and defy your fate
Cold metal sparks in the midnight blue
Burning bright for a world made new
Keep the lamp bright.
Hold the line tight.
Nexus tide.
