jam - part 10

[Verse]
Copper gears hum in the deep blue glare
My goggles fog with the briny air
The steam pipe whistles
A lonesome tune
Beneath a brass-tinged afternoon

[Prechorus]
Through spyglass cracked and rimmed with rust
I glimpse the future
I taste the dust

[Chorus]
Islands on the horizon
Resplendent
Promises of dreams
Luminescent
Do they rise from dreams or sinking land
Islands on the horizon
I’ll take my stand

[Verse 2]
Pipes drip echoes of the engine’s groan
The sea’s a clockwork beast
All teeth and bone
A zephyr bites
It chills my skin
But my heart’s a boiler
Roaring within

[Chorus]
Islands on the horizon
Resplendent
Promises of dreams
Luminescent
Do they rise from dreams or sinking land
Islands on the horizon
I’ll take my stand

[Bridge]
Ropes creak like whispers
The mast sways low
What treasures wait where the wild winds blow
A clock ticks faster
The hour draws near
Do we conquer fate or bow to fear

[Chorus]
Islands on the horizon
Resplendent
Promises of dreams
Luminescent
Do they rise from dreams or sinking land
Islands on the horizon
I’ll take my stand
