lyrics

The sky turned a pale green
With light set inbetween
And the sound of feet
Was the sound of arrival
I saw a light flicker on
Too bright so I moved along
And took a ride beyond
Far behind them
You see the further you ride from here
The clearer the sky
And the fear disappears into a simpler horizon

So I tripped the wire

The night drew sleep
So I made this pact, to keep
As the threat of rain took aim at the rooftops
The ground felt rough to touch
A mix of iron and rust
And through the air came the sound of an engine
You see the further you ride from here
The clearer the sky
And the fear disappears into a simpler horizon
