Track Insight / Lyrics
I am the stone beneath the king,
I feel the gold and copper ring.
I watch the settlers plant the corn,
Before the first great war is born.
I hold the weight of ivory towers,
I count the slow and steady hours.
The scribes they write on yellow reed,
While hungry empires start to feed.
Turn the tile and change the game,
Write a brand new royal name.
From the coast to mountain peak,
Find the glory that you seek.
I feel the heat of desert sand,
A lonely outpost in the land.
The chariots roll in a line,
While purple grapes hang on the vine.
Turn the tile and change the game,
Write a brand new royal name.
From the coast to mountain peak,
Find the glory that you seek.
A single click, a sudden shift,
The heavy borders start to drift.
The map is wide, the ink is blue,
The world is old but feels so new.
I saw the steam and iron gear,
The sound of progress drawing near.
The wooden ships sail cross the deep,
While old forgotten cities sleep.
Now satellites spin in the black,
There is no way of turning back.
I am the base, the steady floor,
Until the final closing door.
Turn the tile and change the game,
Write a brand new royal name.
From the coast to mountain peak,
Find the glory that you seek.
Close the book and dim the light.
The grill is cold, it is late night.
