lyrics
Splintered wheels, clockwork minds
A cavalcade of brass-bound lives
Mourn the birthright, imbued with shade
For the sparks of life, hidden by the grave
"Sire priest" said he,
Spake you in truths? - By thy faith!
Be what thou will – break not our rules
For every man, save you, hath told his tale.
Oath-bound; you sleep
Burdens released
Now you will see
A trace from where we started
Night blind, serene
Wardens ; unseen
Can you believe
In murmurs from the surface?
As above; so below
Word travels far
Breaks the silent dreams
shadows creeping higher
As above; so below
See who you are
It’s the light you breathe
Shadows creeping higher
From night-swept streets, but there’s no one here
Raise a glass now for the rocketeer
Servant: un-served
Masters unnerved
Starlight rebirth
A remnant of our conscience
Speak now; speak soon
Daybreak our tomb
Sing now death’s tune
Now we are ascending
As above; so below
Word travels far
Breaks the silent dreams
shadows creeping higher
As above; so below
See who you are
It’s the light you breathe
Shadows creeping higher
From night-swept streets, but there’s no one here
Raise a glass now for the rocketeer
Stand by yourself, open your eyes to the world
Fear in your mind, far away lies the world above
Now in the night, streets are alive with the words
Crying out in pain, to believe or to follow the blind
Oh we light these streets but there’s no one here
Raise a glass now for the rocketeer
A cavalcade of brass-bound lives
Mourn the birthright, imbued with shade
For the sparks of life, hidden by the grave
"Sire priest" said he,
Spake you in truths? - By thy faith!
Be what thou will – break not our rules
For every man, save you, hath told his tale.
Oath-bound; you sleep
Burdens released
Now you will see
A trace from where we started
Night blind, serene
Wardens ; unseen
Can you believe
In murmurs from the surface?
As above; so below
Word travels far
Breaks the silent dreams
shadows creeping higher
As above; so below
See who you are
It’s the light you breathe
Shadows creeping higher
From night-swept streets, but there’s no one here
Raise a glass now for the rocketeer
Servant: un-served
Masters unnerved
Starlight rebirth
A remnant of our conscience
Speak now; speak soon
Daybreak our tomb
Sing now death’s tune
Now we are ascending
As above; so below
Word travels far
Breaks the silent dreams
shadows creeping higher
As above; so below
See who you are
It’s the light you breathe
Shadows creeping higher
From night-swept streets, but there’s no one here
Raise a glass now for the rocketeer
Stand by yourself, open your eyes to the world
Fear in your mind, far away lies the world above
Now in the night, streets are alive with the words
Crying out in pain, to believe or to follow the blind
Oh we light these streets but there’s no one here
Raise a glass now for the rocketeer

What can I say about Big Big Train that I haven’t said before? This album took a little while to grow on me but by the time I saw it live I was in love with its humongous, over-egged pomposity! They do it all with such passion, excitement and amazing musicianship. Essential.
