Lyrics
Intro – distant steam whistle + lone brass organ
Verse 1 – heavy chug riff
Gears grindin’ and spinnin’ and turnin’ in place
Copper tubes pulse with emerald steam
Your glow breaks the gaslight, we give frantic chase
Through the fog and the brass of this fever dream
Airships groan overhead, propellers scream
We’re chasing the moon through the factory gleam
Pre-Chorus – choir swell
Sky full of iron, heart full of rust
But your silver light pulls us – we must
Chorus – massive drop, gang vocals
Moon on the run
Where are you runnin’ to?
Don’t hide behind the sun
Moon on the run
We’re coming after you
Verse 2 – faster, double-kick
We leap off the boardwalk into the clouds
Drownin’ in ether, no ground below
Your call cuts through thunder, wild and proud
We follow the echo wherever it goes
Crash into stars, brass and bone collide
Chasing forever on this midnight ride
Pre-Chorus 2 – brass + choir
No map, no compass, just your silver gleam
Leading us deeper into the machine
Chorus – heavier, octave guitars
Moon on the run
Where are you runnin’ to?
Don’t hide behind the sun
Moon on the run
We’re coming after you
Guitar Solo – steam-whistle bends + organ duel
Bridge – half-time, spoken over ticking gears
You can’t outrun the engines we built
You can’t escape the hunger we feel
Silver goddess in the coal-black sky
We’ll chase you till the gears run dry
Final Chorus – max energy, full choir
Moon on the run
Where are you runnin’ to?
Don’t hide behind the sun
Moon on the run
We’re coming after you
Moon on the run
Till the sky burns through
Moon on the run
Forever chasing you
Outro – steam whistle fade + gear grind slows
Moon on the run…
We’re still coming.
