Lyrics — Iron Petals
A satellite receives but won't respond
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The voltage drops when memory persists
A satellite receives but won't respond
He trades his coat for silence and a key
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The voltage drops when memory persists
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
