Track Insight / Lyrics
Iron ribs beneath the frost
Quercus robur, winter lost
Ribbon curled like dormouse deep
Dreams of words it longs to keep
Ribbon and root hold fast below
Where the cobblestones and shadows grow
Each key a seed in dormant sleep
Waiting for the spring to speak
Carriage slides on rusted rail
Salix alba, whispering pale
Paper feeds like loam to page
Drink the ink, engage the age
Ribbon and root hold fast below
Where the cobblestones and shadows grow
Each key a seed in dormant sleep
Waiting for the spring to speak
Typebars strike like shoots through snow
Betula pendula, watch them grow
Carbon copies, layered rings
Annual growth that winter brings
Ribbon and root hold fast below
Where the cobblestones and shadows grow
Each key a seed in dormant sleep
Waiting for the spring to speak
Hammers rest in silent sheath
Taxus baccata, dead beneath
But the ribbon holds the code
Life encoded, node by node
Ribbon and root hold fast below
Where the cobblestones and shadows grow
Each key a seed in dormant sleep
Waiting for the spring to speak
Ribbon and root, the manuscript
Blooms in ink where light is kept
Tap tap tap, the season turns
Ribbon and root, the lesson learns
