Track Insight / Lyrics
Locked in a case of polished chrome
Far from the place I once called home
Tucked in a pocket, warm and tight
Waiting for a glimmer of the light
Buses roll past in streaks of grey
I watch the city drift away
Snapshots of stations, blurred and fast
Searching for a magic built to last
Spinning in circles, silver and bright
Guiding the way through the winter white
Under the arch of the ancient stone
Deep in the mountain, I am not alone
Silver needle, pointing me north
Calling the hidden kingdom forth
Cold marble floors and heavy doors
Sinking down into secret floors
Burying gold beneath the frost
Counting the things the travelers lost
Spinning in circles, silver and bright
Guiding the way through the winter white
Under the arch of the ancient stone
Deep in the mountain, I am not alone
Silver needle, pointing me north
Calling the hidden kingdom forth
Ice on the ceiling, glass on the wall
I feel the heavy mountain call
Swaying in rhythm, steady and true
Painting the frozen valley blue
Small metal gears begin to hum
Beating like a steady little drum
Sensing the center, feeling the pull
Until the silver vessel is full
Quiet as powder, soft as a glove
Cradled in a pocket's velvet love
Safe in the temple, hidden from sight
Sleepless inside the crystalline light
Spinning in circles, silver and bright
Guiding the way through the winter white
Under the arch of the ancient stone
Deep in the mountain, I am not alone
Silver needle, pointing me north
Calling the hidden kingdom forth
Click-clack, tick-tock.
Silver needle, frozen rock.
Pointing north.
Pointing north.
