Track Insight / Lyrics
Cobblestones drink the grey dawn light
Silver sings in calloused grip
Frost etches patterns, pale and white
Winter bites the fingertips
Clean the steel, clean the soul
Blood and ichor leave their toll
Hymn notes rise from chapel stones
Altos carry what they've known
Oil cloth moves in circles slow
Monster ichor, black and thick
Prayer beads click where fingers go
Saint of Blades, the witcher's pick
Clean the steel, clean the soul
Blood and ichor leave their toll
Hymn notes rise from chapel stones
Altos carry what they've known
Breath clouds rise like incense smoke
Vesper bells ring through the lane
Silver drinks the morning choke
No two kills are quite the same
No gold crowns, no bardic tales
Just the scrape and wipe and prayer
Altos hum where daylight fails
Steel remembers every care
Clean the steel, clean the soul
Blood and ichor leave their toll
Hymn notes rise from chapel stones
Altos carry what they've known
Sheath receives the blessed kiss
Frost crystals bloom on pommel guard
Morning mass begins with this
Winter steel, winter heart
Clean the steel, clean the soul
Blood and ichor leave their toll
Hymn notes rise from chapel stones
Altos carry what they've known
Clean the steel, clean the soul
Winter steel makes monsters whole
Breath on steel. Winter steel.
Altos hum. The blade is healed.
