Track Insight / Lyrics
Gears behind the walls thrum and sway
Rust-scabbed and worn, a winding day
Solenoids hiss, a metallic sigh
Time's relics moan, many a mile high
In fall's chill dawn, the city's a cave
He wields his tools, in rugged grey
Through iron latticework, light seeps through
Echoes of footsteps, a solitary few
Shadows stretch long like grasping hands
On streets smudged with soot, hissing commands
Oh, rubicund sunrise paints brick ablaze
Distant murmurs, a crush of rushing ways
Cogs turn, forever, lost in time's haze
A symphony, the city's endless maze
Leather dust, oil on metal skin
Beneath boot heels, on cobblestone within
The clockmaker carves, amid brick and stone
Each notch and gear, a tale untold
Night's velvet veil shrouds the city wide
His heartbeat thrums, the clockwork inside
Through iron latticework, light seeps through
Echoes of footsteps, a solitary few
Shadows stretch long like grasping hands
On streets smudged with soot, hissing commands
Oh, rubicund sunrise paints brick ablaze
Distant murmurs, a crush of rushing ways
Cogs turn, forever, lost in time's haze
A symphony, the city's endless maze
Gears grind to halt, vocals stripped bare
Lanky shadows loom, a populace glare
A heavy stomp, the drum's thunderous cry
Sub-bass rumbles, the earth seems to die
In the city's thick, a suffocating air
He reaches, grasping, for a familiar lair
Distant chords, overdriven and raw
Neon screams, slicing through the grey law
A screaming feedback, a tortured refrain
Echoes of pain, in this concrete plain
A maelstrom of sound, metal whips and chains
As he loses himself, in the city's endless veins
Oh, rubicund sunrise paints brick ablaze
Distant murmurs, a crush of rushing ways
Cogs turn, forever, lost in time's haze
A symphony, the city's endless maze
As dusk descends, with wings of crimson
The clockmaker departs, with footsteps rimmed in kin
The city holds its breath, in iron chains
As he fades away, into the endless trains
