Track Insight / Lyrics
In her brick velvet cell, eyes like gemstones bright
She keeps watch 'til the night, beneath flickering neon lights
The city's rush subsides, leaving her to her reign
Across the iron kingdom of rusty pipes and dusty domains
Whiskers twitching, ears perked in the heat
A panting monarch waiting for the street to sleep
Dusk caresses her back, a soothing summer sigh
As she basks in twilight's hush, her eyes never stray from the sky
Oh, she's the guardian, sworn to this metropolitan throne
A solitary soul, lord of this forgotten domain alone
Her domain of shadows, where secrets wander free
A calico queen of night, ruling wild and carefree
The alleys whisper tales, of lives lived and lost
Echoes of love and sorrow, and the worn shoes that crossed
This kingdom's worn terrain, where stories are never told
But hers, the feline queen, forever young and untold
Whiskers twitching, ears perked in the heat
A panting monarch waiting for the street to sleep
Dusk caresses her back, a soothing summer sigh
As she basks in twilight's hush, her eyes never stray from the sky
Oh, she's the guardian, sworn to this metropolitan throne
A solitary soul, lord of this forgotten domain alone
Her domain of shadows, where secrets wander free
A calico queen of night, ruling wild and carefree
In rain-soaked afternoons, or when the sun scours the land
She remains unflinching, in her vigil, hand in hand
With wind-tossed leaves and wayward birds that pass by her keep
This tiny kingdom's heart, beating strong, yet unseen, yet deep
The city's heartbeat racing, its pulse like a drum
Through iron latticework humming, in phantom strings in thrum
She feels each rhythm, a volume of the city's dream
And as the stars' bright silver sparks begin to drip like a seam
Oh, she's the guardian, sworn to this metropolitan throne
A solitary soul, lord of this forgotten domain alone
Her domain of shadows, where secrets wander free
A calico queen of night, ruling wild and carefree
And in this twilight cloak, when city lights come to life
Her watchful gaze remains, a constant, steadfast rife
For she is mistress here, of the iron lattice, of dusk and of night
And all who pass through her reign, feel her feline, fierce delight
