Hold To The Iron lyrics

There's a static humming in the kitchen light While the old man's shaking in the middle of the night The seeds they planted started growing wild Now the hand that feeds is struck by its own child Foundations rattle and the floorboards groan In a house of timber where the trust has flown Oh, the compass is spinning in the dead of the day And the things that we value are turning to gray When the hollow is heavy and the gold is a ghost You hold to the iron that matters the most Keep your feet on the gravel where the path is still thin Before the inversion lets the darkness in Before the inversion lets the darkness in The blue lights flickered and they backed away Fearing the shadow more than the light of the day Justice is walking with a blindfold of glass Watching the thieves and the liars all pass While the ink-stained fingers weave a tangled web Watching the truth and the mercy both ebb The truth and the mercy both ebb Oh, the compass is spinning in the dead of the day And the things that we value are turning to gray When the hollow is heavy and the gold is a ghost You hold to the iron that matters the most Keep your feet on the gravel where the path is still thin Before the inversion lets the darkness in Before the inversion lets the darkness in The wires are crossed and the signals are dead It's a hollow world where the lies are fed But there's a flicker of a candle in the palm of my hand Standing like a stone in a shifting sand Keep the silver, thirty pieces, keep the soul And the broken pieces try to make you whole Oh, the compass is spinning in the dead of the day And the things that we value are turning to gray When the hollow is heavy and the gold is a ghost You hold to the iron that matters the most Keep your feet on the gravel where the path is still thin Before the inversion lets the darkness in Before the inversion lets the darkness in Hold your ground Yeah, hold your ground In the tangled web Just a flicker of light
