Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The rails hum low
A ghostly hymn
Dust clouds rising
Horizons dim
Steel bites the earth
Screams in the air
Each mile a wound
Each mile a prayer
[Chorus]
Rusted rails of sorrow
They never bend
Carrying grief that don’t ever end
The weight of pain
It’s heavy and slow
On the rusted rails where the broken go
[Verse 2]
A mother’s wail
A father’s drink
Children grow up on the edge of the brink
The preacher cries but the words don’t heal
Just echoes lost in the grinding steel
[Prechorus]
Smoke curls
Black against the sky
Dreams fade
And the whistle’s sigh
[Chorus]
Rusted rails of sorrow
They never bend
Carrying grief that don’t ever end
The weight of pain
It’s heavy and slow
On the rusted rails where the broken go
[Bridge]
Blood stains the track
Long since dried
Where the forgotten laid down and cried
No marker stands
No name
No stone
Just a rusted path for the lost alone
