Lyrics
[Verse 1] Old ties split by the weather
Tangle of iron
Held in a grip of creeping vine
Frozen for fifty years
Steel looks like dried blood on the ground
[Pre-Chorus] Iron bends under an unseen weight
Air turns cold as the cellar door
Shadows pull long across the bank
Clock strikes twelve and the hinges roar
[Chorus] Don't walk where the grass grows gray
Where the midnight freight finds a way
Steam and smoke from the hollow bone
Lifting the lost ones all alone
Take your lantern and run for home
Before you end up skin and bone
[Verse 2] Rusted whistles scream like birds
Listen for the rumble
Watching the silver faces step down
Pacing through our empty streets
Waiting for the return trip north
[Pre-Chorus] Iron bends under an unseen weight
Air turns cold as the cellar door
Shadows pull long across the bank
Clock strikes twelve and the hinges roar
[Chorus] Don't walk where the grass grows gray
Where the midnight freight finds a way
Steam and smoke from the hollow bone
Lifting the lost ones all alone
Take your lantern and run for home
Before you end up skin and bone
[Bridge] They wander near the general store
Looking for a name
Searching for a light
Finding only frost
Nobody leaves the line
Nobody breaks the deal
[Chorus] Don't walk where the grass grows gray
Where the midnight freight finds a way
Steam and smoke from the hollow bone
Lifting the lost ones all alone
Take your lantern and run for home
Before you end up skin and bone
