Our first professionally recorded and mixed track, James Root tells the story of a Minnesotan hero who saved a train from being consumed in a storm of fire. Recorded and mixed by Eric Wing at McNally Smith College of Music

lyrics

Lyrics:
A Minnesotan firestorm
Will take a demonic form
and tower to the sky
Where many hundred die

Foresight of Orpheus
and demeanor of our Perseus
People lay without a shiver
in the depths of the Grindstone River

The ignition sparked by drought
Cogs and gears, fire and flame
Our captain changed direction without a doubt
The locomotive plowed through the soot

Inside Mother Nature's trifle
He stood hand on his rifle
The Minnesotan logger
Kneeled and prayed to our father

The ignition sparked by drought
Cogs and gears, fire and flame
Our captain changed direction without a doubt
The locomotive plowed through the soot
'
The ignition sparked by drought
Cogs and gears, fire and flame
Our captain changed direction without a doubt
The locomotive plowed through the soot
