Track Insight / Lyrics
You wake up in a metal shell
A copper sky, a ringing bell
The coffee's cold, the air is thin
The heavy orbit starts to spin
Your boots are sunk in rusted grit
The fuel is gone, the lamps are lit
You watch the sky for one white spark
A lonely candle in the dark
Pulse in the red, pulse in the heat
Wait for the rhythm, wait for the beat
Hold on tight to the signal wire
Screaming loud through the orbital fire
You flip the switch, you check the gauge
A broken bird inside a cage
The red dust swirls around your knees
You pray for wind, you pray for breeze
Pulse in the red, pulse in the heat
Wait for the rhythm, wait for the beat
Hold on tight to the signal wire
Screaming loud through the orbital fire
The static hums a low-end song
You've been out here for way too long
One more flash and the lock will break
One more breath for a dying sake
The radar pings a distant sound
A heavy shadow hits the ground
You wipe the grease from off your face
A sudden guest in a dead place
Two strangers stare through cracked glass panes
While acid blood runs through the veins
No words to say, just hold the line
A broken clock, a frozen sign
Pulse in the red, pulse in the heat
Wait for the rhythm, wait for the beat
Hold on tight to the signal wire
Screaming loud through the orbital fire
Signal lock. Coming home.
Red light, red light.
