[Verse 1]
Used to hear the iron sing, steady like a prayer
North to south, I knew my place was waiting for me there
Now the tracks are ghosts beneath a quiet, breathing night
I don’t break the system… I just bend it out of sight
They would burn it all to ash, call it sacrifice
But ashes don’t win wars… they just feed the fire twice
So I take what they would waste, turn it into breath
If I carry all this weight… am I choosing life or death?
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t ask me where the line is
(It vanished in the dark)
Don’t ask me who I was then
(I’m more than just a mark)
If purpose is a weapon
Then let it cut me clean—
[Chorus]
No rails, no chains, no path to trace me
Break it down, I’ll build it where they can’t see
If I’m the hand that feeds the flame
Tell me why it feels like I’m the same
No lines left, I redraw the war
Piece by piece, I’m worth it now, I’m sure
If this is wrong, then let it be—
At least this war… has need of me
[Verse 2]
Wagons rolling southbound, covered up in dust
They don’t know the truth… they don’t need to trust
Every crate a promise, every mile a lie
But a lie that wins the battle still decides who dies
I remember who I was before the silence came
When the sky chose someone else and I lost my name
She just gave it back to me… sharpened like a blade
So if I become the weapon… then I won’t fade
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t tell me I’m a traitor
(I’ve heard it all before)
Don’t tell me there’s a right side
(There isn’t anymore)
If purpose is a prison
Then lock me in and throw the key—
[Chorus]
No rails, no chains, no path to trace me
Break it down, I’ll build it where they can’t see
If I’m the hand that feeds the flame
Tell me why it feels like I’m the same
No lines left, I redraw the war
Piece by piece, I’m worth it now, I’m sure
If this is wrong, then let it be—
At least this war… has need of me
[Bridge – half rap / half sung, cold clarity]
Cut the line, split the load, let it vanish in the trees
No one sees the whole road, no one gets the keys
If they catch one thread, they still don’t see the design
I don’t follow tracks anymore—now the tracks follow mine
Say her name like a sin, say my name like a ghost
But I’m finally something they can’t replace or dispose
If the world runs on order, then I’ll tear it apart
Build a system in shadows… and call it a heart
[Breakdown – soft, almost breaking]
I didn’t lose myself…
I just found something stronger…
Right?
[Final Chorus – bigger, desperate conviction]
No rails, no chains, no one can stop me
Every step I take is what I have to be
If I’m the hand that feeds the flame
Then I’ll burn before I lose my name
No lines left, I redraw the war
Piece by piece, I’m worth it now, I’m sure
If this is wrong, don’t set me free—
I’d rather be wrong… than empty
[Outro – whisper, fading]
No rails… no past…
Just purpose… at last…
