The Signal on the Ridge

Verse 1

Chrome dial

Hissing on the dashboard

Sparks

Flying off the antenna

Black sedans tracking every tire track

Dust

Rising up like ghosts

I found the jagged edge of a copper map

Chorus

They saw the lights

They saw the lights

Burning holes through the heavy grain

They saw the lights

The desert knows

The desert knows

Secrets buried under falling rain

The desert knows

Verse 2

Deep dirt

Shovel hitting stone cold metal

Shallow

Breathing in the dark

Searching for the bones of a fallen king

Wait

Listen to the humming

Strange

Patterns carved into the clay

Cold wind blowing through the labyrinth walls

Chorus

They saw the lights

They saw the lights

Burning holes through the heavy grain

They saw the lights

The desert knows

The desert knows

Secrets buried under falling rain

The desert knows

Bridge

Maybe it's a monster

Maybe it's a machine

Maybe it's the truth

The signal is getting clearer

The signal is getting louder

The signal is finally here

Static screaming out the name

Guitar Solo

Verse 3

Wires

Tapped inside the basement

Caught

Shadows on the film

I saw the creature blinking in the brush

Run

Before they find the ruins

Hide

Keep the myth alive

Nothing on the radio but white noise now

Chorus

They saw the lights

They saw the lights

Burning holes through the heavy grain

They saw the lights

The desert knows

The desert knows

Secrets buried under falling rain

The desert knows

Outro

Unexplained

Unexplained

They are watching from the ridge

I am watching from the ridge

Left behind

Left behind

Left behind
