Knot Against the Traffic

[Вступление] One high note cuts through the dust A low chug answers, then the whole floor shakes [Куплет 1] The fan gives one last cough, then quits The plenum climbs; the gauges bite I climb the catwalk, hand on rail The burner waits beyond the heat [Припев] Cut it down, cut it down Before the whole load turns to ash Cut it down, cut it down I’m reaching through the furnace blast [Куплет 2] Below, a loaded truck holds its place The panel flashes fault after fault I find the burner’s kill switch, wrench in hand And pull the heat from its hold [Припев] Cut it down, cut it down Before the whole load turns to ash Cut it down, cut it down I’m reaching through the furnace blast [Guitar solo] [Припев] Cut it down, cut it down Before the whole load turns to ash Cut it down, cut it down I’m reaching through the furnace blast [Аутро] The fan stays still; the gauges fall The truck waits on, the heat lets go
