Track Insight / Lyrics
I trim the wick against the gale
Watch barnacles crack the iron rail
Salt eats the glass, the storm won't yield
My logbook holds what the sea concealed
Silver flashes on the yellow line
Whetstone hums a low design
No monsters here, just dust and grime
Killing time before the morning chime
Oilcloth wraps the steel so tight
Cleans the venom from the night
Drowner blood on the ceramic tile
Another contract, another mile
Silver flashes on the yellow line
Whetstone hums a low design
No monsters here, just dust and grime
Killing time before the morning chime
The lantern glass needs polished clear
So beams cut through the freezing smear
No timetables, just the tide
And wreckage where the hulls collide
You hunt the things that scream and bite
I watch the beam cut through the night
Different blades for different wars
Same blood stains the stone floors
Potion vial clicks on the bench
Mutagen helps me stalk the stench
Platform empty, tracks are bare
No griffin diving from the air
Silver flashes on the yellow line
Whetstone hums a low design
No monsters here, just dust and grime
Killing time before the morning chime
Salt wind blows down the subway stair
Silver sings in the stagnant air
Two worn hands with a job to do
Polishing glass and steel for you
Silver flashes on the yellow line
Whetstone hums a low design
No monsters here, just dust and grime
Killing time before the morning chime
Silver flashes on the yellow line
We kill the time before the morning chime
Wipe the blade. Trim the wick.
Dawn breaks on the iron brick.
