Track Insight / Lyrics
Gears whir, engines hum, twilight's fading light
Neon reflections ripple on a moonless night
In a harbor shrouded, lighthouse beams ablaze
My sentinel duties keep the wayward from the daze
Magnetic piers plunge beneath, rusty rivets weep
Amidst the city's slumbering beast, I keep
My watch in shadowed solitude, the howling wind my choir
Through stormy midnight vigils, through the ebb and sigh
Cranes and catwalks creak, the foghorn's mournful call
I am a guiding presence, steadfast through it all
Through city's restless pulse and roiling, breaking sea
My beam forever steadfast, a beacon to the glee
I'm the phantom light that warns the shipping lines
A guardian on an iron spine
where the ocean meets the signs
Through moonless nights and lashing rain, I hold fast to the sea
A steadfast heart that beats for all, in harmony
Clockwork mechanisms march, a rhythmic dissonant hum
Marking time like a countdown, till the dawn breaks some
Yet in my glass-encased solitude, the world swings free
Amidst the harbor's muted thunder, echoing wild and carefree
Gondolas drift, their lanterns aglow, puppets on the tide
As I direct the nighttime traffic, an unseen conductor inside
Through city's bustling dreams and tides of restless sleep
My solitary song forever kept, the harbor's secret deep
I'm the phantom light that warns the shipping lines
A guardian on an iron spine
where the ocean meets the signs
Through moonless nights and lashing rain, I hold fast to the sea
A steadfast heart that beats for all, in harmony
In the stillness of the watch, when the world is dark and still
I whisper stories of the sea, of secrets I've kept till now
Of the merchant ships I guided through the blackest of the night
And the cities I've seen come alive, in the flickering harbor light
I'm the phantom light that warns the shipping lines
A guardian on an iron spine, where the ocean meets the signs
Through moonless nights and lashing rain, I hold fast to the sea
A steadfast heart that beats for all, in perfect symphony
As morning dawns and colors rise, my task is done at last
The city stirs, the harbor's alive, with another day amassed
But still my phantom light will shine, an repeat of the night
Guiding all who sail the sea, a beacon in the fading light
