Track Insight / Lyrics
Padded soles, a measured pace
Along the banks I take
The silent sentry's lonely stage
Through Amsterdam's frozen lake
A sudden swoop, a flutter by,
Two wings, a fleeting sigh
My fingers lace, a secret bind,
The mysticstrength I find
In leather worn by time and rain
Wrapped in chill, a bond they form
Through dawn and dusk's chromatic storm
I guard the city's heartbeat, here
Where mysteries rise, or fears appear
Midnight Guardians of Amsterdam's span
We weather storms, our watch never ran
I and my gloves, a pair, a bond
In the dark of dawn, the slumber's dawn
They tell of love, of loss, of long ago
The lovers' games, the tragedies to know
Each pair a story, a life entwined
Through triumph and through time
The dreams, the tears, the memories they hold
A living history, never to grow old
In the frost, their stories never fade
A testament to love, in every shade
Wrapped in chill, a bond they form
Through dawn and dusk's chromatic storm
I guard the city's heartbeat, here
Where mysteries rise, or fears appear
Midnight Guardians of Amsterdam's span
We weather storms, our watch never ran
I and my gloves, a pair, a bond
In the dark of dawn, the slumber's dawn
Perhaps someday, when rain is gone
And brickbats gleam like morning sun
But till then, through night's long vigil
These two, my shadows, will remain my vigil
Midnight Guardians of Amsterdam's span
We weather storms, our watch never ran
I and my gloves, a pair, a bond
In the dark of dawn, the slumber's dawn
Midnight Guardians of Amsterdam's span
We weather storms, our watch never ran
I and my gloves, a pair, a bond
In the dark of dawn, the slumber's dawn
The city stirs, the birds awake
I unclasp, and my duties break
But on my hands, in sweat and dew,
The memories remain, the stories I knew
The midnight guardians' silent vow
For in my gloves, Amsterdam now
Forever sleeps, forever's my domain
Amsterdam's heart, this bridge, these gloves remain
