Track Insight / Lyrics
Silver blade catches harbor glow
Monster ichor, black and old
Cloth moves steady, smooth and slow
Stories that the steel has told
Lighthouse beam sweeps past his hand
Salt crust on the leather strand
Tide turns hard at Circular Quay
Monsters dream in sandstone deep
He works the edge while light turns gray
Promises the dawn to keep
Silver at dusk, clean and bright
Harbor holds the coming night
Whetstone kisses hardened steel
Witcher's work will never heal
Sydney lights blink one by one
Another hunt is nearly done
Ferry horns cut through the air
Tourists photograph the view
He ignores the busy stare
Focused on the task he knew
Oil cloth wraps the deadly length
Restored to terrible strength
Tide turns hard at Circular Quay
Monsters dream in sandstone deep
He works the edge while light turns gray
Promises the dawn to keep
Silver at dusk, clean and bright
Harbor holds the coming night
Whetstone kisses hardened steel
Witcher's work will never heal
Sydney lights blink one by one
Another hunt is nearly done
Gulls cry out above the rail
Kelp scent rises from the rocks
Wind carries a distant wail
From beneath the harbor docks
Blade reflects the bridge's arc
Finishing his solemn mark
Old keeper watches from the tower
Seen ten thousand storms blow through
Knows the rhythm, knows the hour
When the silver cuts the blue
Different tools but same old trade
Guarding what the light has made
Silver at dusk, clean and bright
Harbor holds the coming night
Whetstone kisses hardened steel
Witcher's work will never heal
Sydney lights blink one by one
Another hunt is nearly done
Task complete, the blade at rest
Clean steel sliding in its nest
Night falls on Circular Quay
Harbor lights hold back the day
Keeper dips his lamp down low
Two old guards with watch to show
Silver at dusk, clean and bright
Harbor holds the coming night
Whetstone kisses hardened steel
Witcher's work will never heal
Sydney lights blink one by one
Another hunt is nearly done
Silver at dusk, silver at dawn
Keeper's light and witcher's song
Salt wind carries both their names
Sydney harbor knows their game
