Wipe the blood from silver edge
Midnight shift knows no pledge
Grind the wheel till morning bell
Monsters sleep in concrete hell
Last train left an hour past
Blade catches the fluorescent cast
No contract signed no fee to pay
Just dust and gravel in the way
Eggs run yellow on the flat
Regulars don't ask where you're at
Hash browns crisp in bacon grease
You clean your knife with quiet ease
Last train left an hour past
Blade catches the fluorescent cast
No contract signed no fee to pay
Just dust and gravel in the way
Silver sings a different tune
Underneath the waning moon
Drowner teeth and wraith claw marks
Polished clean by calloused arcs
Last train left an hour past
Blade catches the fluorescent cast
No contract signed no fee to pay
Just dust and gravel in the way
Oil cloth moves in steady rhythm
Platform empty cold and dim
Signet glints on pommel worn
Another night another morn
Cup goes cold beside your knee
Dawn breaks gray and sets you free
Sheath the blade the work is done
Till the next last train has run
Last train left an hour past
Blade catches the fluorescent cast
No contract signed no fee to pay
Just dust and gravel in the way
Silver on the tracks today
Coffee steam rises slow
Steel sings on the stone
