Track Insight / Lyrics
Boots mud-caked on splintered boards
Broadsword leans on rusted nails
Thunder rolls through maple leaves
Flash captures what night conceals
Steel turns orange in damp air
Wood holds water, splintered grain
Knight sits quiet, gauntlets off
Storm writes verses on the pane
Rusted knight on porch at midnight
Rain sings lullabies to iron
Shutter snaps the peeling paint
History dissolves in water
Bus ticket stub in coat pocket
Lens cap lost in Kansas dust
Knight once rode on charging destrier
Now he watches gutters flood
Steel turns orange in damp air
Wood holds water, splintered grain
Knight sits quiet, gauntlets off
Storm writes verses on the pane
Rusted knight on porch at midnight
Rain sings lullabies to iron
Shutter snaps the peeling paint
History dissolves in water
Helmet hangs on coat rack crooked
Crest bent flat by branch and time
Lightning shows the pitted surface
Each scratch a battle, each dent a rhyme
Film roll ends at thirty-six
Knight breathes slow in wool and leather
Dawn will bleed through cloud cover
Metal sleeps while storms gather
Rusted knight on porch at midnight
Rain sings lullabies to iron
Shutter snaps the peeling paint
History dissolves in water
Morning finds the blade still resting
Dew collects on crossguard cold
Bus departs at six-fifteen
Story framed in silver halide
Rusted knight on porch at midnight
Rain sings lullabies to iron
Shutter snaps the peeling paint
History dissolves in water
Rusted knight on porch at midnight
Rain sings lullabies to iron
Negative dries in dawn light
Knight remains through every storm
