Track Insight / Lyrics
(Filtered acid synth squelches and deep bass thump)
From highway's spine to coastal line
My oxidized form now rusts in time
A bygone era's relic I remain
Guardian of the panting iron rail
Oh, restless nights beneath the lights
I watch the interstate's frenzied life
No heart beats here, no spark ignites
I'm just a sentinel of metallic might
Cascading tar coats my weathered hide
Impatient wheels of progress leave me behind
Yet still I stand as concrete jungle creeps
A steadfast sentinel in steel and sleep
Oh, restless nights beneath the lights
I watch the interstate's frenzied life
No heart beats here, no spark ignites
I'm just a sentinel of metallic might
Perhaps if rain would stop the rust's its flow
And moonlight shined to light my hollow dome
Then in the quiet, whispers might unfold
Of dreams that fled with the trains that roared
Oh, restless nights beneath the lights
I watch the interstate's frenzied life
No heart beats here, no spark ignites
I'm just a sentinel of metallic might
(Synth thunder rumbles; bass hums; fade)
