Track Insight / Lyrics
You wipe the silver clean of ichor black
The counter ticks a rhythm in your palm
No hymn you knew prepares for this attack
Just alto breath and decades of calm
Silver sings where Geiger clicks
Bridge holds weight of broken bricks
You stand between the dark and dawn
Cleaning death until it's gone
Medallion hums against your chest plate steel
Vibrating warning of the drowner near
You learned to read the signs that witches feel
Before the choir taught you how to hear
Silver sings where Geiger clicks
Bridge holds weight of broken bricks
You stand between the dark and dawn
Cleaning death until it's gone
Oil smells like incense, bitter, sharp and clear
Quen sign flares gold against the gray
You mouth the words to no familiar prayer
Just muscle memory showing the way
Silver sings where Geiger clicks
Bridge holds weight of broken bricks
You stand between the dark and dawn
Cleaning death until it's gone
Footsteps ring on the concrete span
Not monster — human, tired, carrying light
You sheath the blade, extend a calloused hand
Share a swig of water through the night
Warmth spreads where radiation bites
Two voices hum through frozen nights
No holy book, just lullabies
Sung soft beneath the graying skies
Dawn breaks pale through contaminated mist
Counter slows to sporadic beat
You watch them walk, your fist unclenched, unkissed
The silver rests, the watch complete
Silver sang where Geiger clicked
Bridge held weight of broken bricks
You stood between the dark and dawn
Cleaned the death until it's gone
Silver sings where Geiger clicks
Bridge holds weight of broken bricks
You stand between the dark and dawn
Cleaning death until it's gone
Click click steel rests cold
Oil cloth folded slow
Bridge keeps watch alone
