Reset the Loose Lock

[Ներածություն] [High harmonic; muted low chug cuts dead] [Two clipped palm-muted triplets; bass joins] [Snare-led drums enter] [Full riff; clipped vocal enters] [Տուն 1] Freezing rain needles the cab glass white Blue cranes groan against the harbor night I lift the box; the spreader bites Then one lock lets go beneath the lights [Նախաքնարերգ] Radio, deck crew—look alive That corner’s loose; keep clear below The water’s black, the load swings wide I’m easing down—don’t let it go [Կրկներգ] Hold fast, hold fast, keep clear of the line That steel is moving above the tide I’ve got the brake, i’ve got you in sight Talk me through till it’s back on ground [Տուն 2] The hook-set rattles; the cables strain A red lamp blinks through the sleet again “Deck crew, answer—stay off the deck” The box swings out; i feather the check [Նախաքնարերգ] Radio, deck crew—say you’re clear The stern is taking spray below One slow inch, then hold it here No sudden move; i won’t let go [Կրկներգ] Hold fast, hold fast, keep clear of the line That steel is moving above the tide I’ve got the brake, i’ve got you in sight Talk me through till it’s back on ground [Guitar solo] [Instrumental guitar solo] [Final chorus] Hold fast, hold fast, keep clear of the line The lock is reset; bring the crew in line I lower it slow through the freezing rain Steel meets the deck—and we breathe again
