Lyrics

Strings on a low, tall wire
The amp warms up a holy fire
A bow draws back a breathless whore
Before the story starts, before it's told
Six o'clock the sun bleeds gold
Across the grass where shadows grow cold
A man stands in the shifting light
But eyes like flint are stealing sight
He pulls the blade, a silver thread
Cutting through the air, the smoldering dead
The wailing peaks of a dry, pale sound
Carrying dust that never hits the ground
One note rings, a sharp command
The horizon cracks, the land is changed
No room for fear, no place to run
Just feel upon the setting sun
This is the world, alone and free
Dancing on the edge of destiny
But close within the golden light
Piercing through the fading night
The strings unwind, the world spins slow
Watching the last horizon go
The shadow stretches long and wide
We've nowhere left for anything to hide
The crowd is versed, the scattered grain
Smoke hangs low across the plain
He doesn't speak, he doesn't care
About the burning of the air
Just a hum of metal, deep and true
A promise that is never new
The dust settles in a thick gray layer
Over every single breathless prayer
And if you listen close to the chord
You'll hear the fear, the hope, the soar
It's not the fighting, it's the cost
Of finding out what life has lost
The string snaps tight, a sudden sting
Every frame shifts, nothing to bring
But silence now, a heavy weight
Sealing off the broken gate
This is the road, alone and free
Dancing on the edge of destiny
But close within the golden light
Piercing through the fading night
The strings unwind, the world spins slow
Until the last arrival goes
The shadow stretches long and wide
We've nowhere left for anything to hide
The sun dips down, the heat is gone
The sword is dropped on crescents now
He walks away, a fading light
Into the dark, thick, endless night
No sun remains, no traces left
Just the echo of a heart unlit
And the strings are still
