Track Insight / Lyrics
Rain-soaked strings echo through the night
As steel and stone grow slick and bright
The city's heartbeat slows to a darkening rhythm
In this storm's cadence, I find my hymn
I watch the crowds in the laundromat's glow
Flashing lives behind tinted rows
Their stories wash upon the walls
Like soap bubbles bursting, tales before the fall
The rain beats time with every passing face
Drop by drop, an unknown friend, an ally in this place
Each step a prayer, each footfall a test
Of strength in solitude, in city's best
Salt in the air, bitter sweet and cold
Rainfire rages, my heart beats bold
Shelter 'neath roof timbers, refuge from the storm
In rhythm of the rain, I am reborn
A violin's mournful voice joins the downpour's song
Echoing off the walls, where stories once throng
The metal of the strings, now drenched in dew
A frail melody rides currents dark and true
The rain beats time with every passing face
Drop by drop, an unknown friend, an ally in this place
Each step a prayer, each footfall a test
Of strength in solitude, in city's best
Salt in the air, bitter sweet and cold
Rainfire rages, my heart beats bold
Shelter 'neath roof timbers, refuge from the storm
In rhythm of the rain, I am reborn
Fractured beats, jagged shards of sound
Breaking glass, shattering every vow undone
The storm unchains a desperate cry
Storm-tossed heart, lost in turmoil's sigh
Searing leads, a tempest's ferocious wind
Screaming harmonies, notes entwined
Infrasonic rumble, earthquake's ground
Apocalyptic howl, thunder's surround
Salt in the air, bitter sweet and cold
Rainfire rages, my heart beats bold
Shelter 'neath roof timbers, refuge from the storm
In rhythm of the rain, I am reborn
Rain's refrain fades to mist on skin
As steel and stone, once slick, dry within
The city's heartbeat quickens its pace
But in my soul, the storm's dark grace.
