Lyrics
[Verse]
Midnight static cutting through the wire
A heavy thumb pressed down on the sparking flint
The valley floor is ready for the fire
I am looking for a shadow or a hint
The iron rod is cooling in the rain
The black top stretches out into the void
A jagged pulse is running through the vein
To keep the hollow spirit employed
The gears are grinding slow against the bone
The pressure gauge is climbing past the red
I am carving out a monument of stone
To bury every word that you once said
Roll the thunder down the mountain side
Let the gravel scream beneath the wheel
There is nowhere left for the weak to hide
When the world is made of grease and steel
Break
the silence with a hammer blow
Let the engine howl against the night
Everything we planted refused to grow
So we set the whole horizon alight
The diesel smoke is thick enough to chew
The rusted gates are swinging in the gale
I traded every promise that I knew
To find a way to step outside the rail
The copper sky is bleeding on the chrome
The vultures circle low above the yard
I am a long way from a place called home
And the road ahead is getting twice as hard
The gears are grinding slow against the bone
The pressure gauge is climbing past the red
I am carving out a monument of stone
To bury every word that you once said
Roll the thunder down the mountain side
Let the gravel scream beneath the wheel
There is nowhere left for the weak to hide
When the world is made of grease and steel
Break
the silence with a hammer blow
Let the engine howl against the night
Everything we planted refused to grow
So we set the whole horizon alight
Roll the thunder down the mountain side
Let the gravel scream beneath the wheel
There is nowhere left for the weak to hide
When the world is made of grease and steel
Break
the silence with a hammer blow
Let the engine howl against the night
Everything we planted refused to grow
So we set the whole horizon alight
