Track Insight / Lyrics
Muddy roads by the city wall,
Where the winter shadows fall.
Leather wrap on a heavy blade,
In the cold where the debts are paid.
Steel is humming in the breeze,
Bending low the frozen trees.
Silver hilt in the pale moonlight,
Cutting through the black of night.
Leather grip and a steady hand,
Hiding in the border land.
Iron boots on a gravel path,
Walking through the storm's cold wrath.
Hidden sparks in the dampened grass,
Watching all the soldiers pass.
Steel is humming in the breeze,
Bending low the frozen trees.
Silver hilt in the pale moonlight,
Cutting through the black of night.
Leather grip and a steady hand,
Hiding in the border land.
Wet wool coats and a copper coin,
Where the muddy river joins.
Blood is thick on the rusted chain,
Washing clean in the falling rain.
Cold white glare on the polished edge,
Balanced on a rocky ledge.
Wait for dawn in the greyish haze,
Lost inside a metal maze.
Silver hilt in the pale moonlight,
Cutting through the black of night.
Leather grip and a steady hand,
Hiding in the border land.
Old scars itch on a calloused palm,
In the center of the calm.
One sharp strike for a heavy fee,
Setting all the captives free.
Silver hilt in the pale moonlight,
Cutting through the black of night.
Leather grip and a steady hand,
Hiding in the border land.
Silver hilt, pale light.
Silver hilt, pale light.
Just the steel in the night.
