Track Insight / Lyrics
Oil cloth runs the length of steel
Witcher's breath makes the metal heal
Gravel crunches beneath his boot
Wiping away the griffin's soot
Twilight paints the driveways gray
Another monster put away
Hymns rise up from childhood pews
Altos humming midnight blues
Fingers trace the runes etched deep
Promises the steel must keep
Silver sings at end of day
Washed clean where the monsters lay
Gravel driveway, fading light
Blade rests ready for the night
Silver sings at end of day
Washed clean where the monsters lay
Bucket water turns pink then clear
Reflecting stars that show no fear
Rag turns black with ichor stains
Memory of broken chains
Cat medallion catches gleam
Caught inside a half-lit dream
Hymns rise up from childhood pews
Altos humming midnight blues
Fingers trace the runes etched deep
Promises the steel must keep
Silver sings at end of day
Washed clean where the monsters lay
Gravel driveway, fading light
Blade rests ready for the night
Silver sings at end of day
Washed clean where the monsters lay
Organ swells from kitchen radio
Signals time to let it go
No incantation, just the wipe
Steel accepting every stripe
Whetstone waits on wooden bench
Scent of oil and pine and clench
Silver sings at end of day
Washed clean where the monsters lay
Gravel driveway, fading light
Blade rests ready for the night
Silver sings at end of day
Washed clean where the monsters lay
Scabbard leather, worn and soft
Receives the steel it holds aloft
Snap clicks shut with final sound
Peace returning to the ground
Firefly dances on the pommel
Twilight wraps the world in solemn
Silver sings at end of day
Washed clean where the monsters lay
Gravel driveway, fading light
Blade rests ready for the night
Silver sings at end of day
Washed clean where the monsters lay
Porch light flickers, moths take flight
Witcher rolls a cigarette tight
Exhales smoke through silver beard
Another day has disappeared
I stay sharp against the wood
Guarding bad and guarding good
Silver sings at end of day
Washed clean where the monsters lay
Gravel driveway, fading light
Blade rests ready for the night
Silver sings at end of day
Washed clean where the monsters lay
Silver sings at end of day
Hammond fades on the one drop
Steel sleeps till the sun comes up
