Track Insight / Lyrics
Forgotten rails, a spectral sigh
Echoes through a solitude grey
The nightwatchman's lonely gaze
Sees only rust, and shadows daze
In foggy veils, an afterglow
A fleeting glimpse of what's to go
Fading embers of a bygone age
Lost lore that sparks a yearning stage
Oh, remnants of a bygone day
Illumined by the aluminium ray
Glimmers of a world laid to rest
Shimmer in the mist that's not yet hushed
Raindrops painting the concrete grey
A misty mirror of a world astray
Ghosts of progress, crumbling slow
As the city's pulse starts to go low
Now the moment slips through our hands
Like drops of rain on this echoing land
Neon phosphor whispers fade to black
As the last trains roll out of the track
Rail yard ghosts of a distant past
Unused, overgrown, awaiting last
The ghosts of progress, industrial dreams
Ephemeral as the fog the city schemes
Oh, remnants of a bygone day
Illumined by the aluminium ray
Glimmers of a world laid to rest
Shimmer in the mist that's not yet hushed
In the dying seconds of the night
As the first light begins to take flight
The waters of dead dreams start to rise
But the city's pulse still beats alive
Now the moment slips through our hands
Like drops of rain on this echoing land
Neon phosphor whispers fade to black
As the last trains roll out of the track
Rusty shadows fade to grey
Into the dawn's uncertain sway
And the night watch's breath subsides
As the city's heartbeat slips inside.
