Lyrics
Something's arcing in the light
So,
we're down to change the night
We'll be
Generator, cable, tank and tube
One long chain,
route to route Somewhere across the climbing
vaults A hidden arc waits to show its fault
Something's arcing in the light
So we're down the chain tonight
Trace it down, don't stop the chase
Till the fault shows its face
Round and round the gantry turns
Test the chain until it burns
Lake by lake, we walk it down
Till the spark gives up its ground
Something's arcing in the light
Somewhere down the chain tonight
Trace it down, don't stop the chase
Till the fall shows its face
It hurts when you're watching
It strikes when you're not
not, not And the narcs, are the only witness
To the fault you almost caught
Something's arcing in the light
So, we're down the chain tonight
Trace it down,
we make the case
Now the fault has lost its place
Power down Power down
down Nothing left between
