Factory Shadow Lyrics

Poison gas warning on the kitchen door

Is keeping the shadow alive

When you hear the siren go up and down

Seal the windows and stay inside

Cause you'll never know when that day will come

Obscure unceasing low hum of the beast

Cradle the workers to sleep

There's a promise of a better new day to come

Hidden somewhere in that static noise

But you'll never know when that day will come

Behind the gates

It lies and waits

The One who never sleeps

Behind the fence

So intense

They feed it with the innocent dreams

Dogs bark in the distance, on the other side

The mist on the lake growing thick

Feels like they have something urgent to share

About the coming catastrophe

You'll never know when that day will come

I should be leaving with the pack while there still is time

But deep down I know that I won't

The secret they share dies with a howl

And so dies my urge to depart

But you'll never know if that day will come

Behind the mist

Long bucket list

And the One who never sleeps

Behind the lake

Some new headache

I feed it with impossible dreams

Lion Park Trail was a gateway to galaxies far away

Wooden fences kept the darkness at bay

Now those rusty swings are left alone

The field is empty and overgrown

Days were still care-free, adventures had begun

At the sound of the whistle everybody would run

Calling for dinner, calling us home

Descending back to monochrome

Let's ignore the cold feeling

Hanging over our heads

Let's ignore the cold feeling

Just a little bit longer

Let's ignore the cold feeling

Hanging over our heads

Let's ignore the cold feeling

Living a life inside this bubble

Looking through the layers

Waiting to see this world in action

With its pawns and players

The machine is on, trimmed and ready

Time and space divided

A narrow escape, a smooth denial

Eager mind misguided

What if the grass was greener on the other side

Just beyond that invisible fence

What if there is no right time for anything

Only lucky mistakes every now and then

What if the answer's right here buried between

These cargo trains and time machines

What if my trail of failures

Gets ignored completely

And the world keeps turning

What if the world keeps turning
