Текст пісні
Dust on my boots, sun in my eyes
The town holds its breath, even the flies
No name on the door, no prayers inside
Just footsteps echoing where men decide
A shadow moves slow at the edge of the street
My pulse is the drum under burning heat
One hand remembers the weight of the steel
The other still wonders if mercy is real
No law left standing, no flag in the ground
Only the click when the world spins around
This is the hour, this is the sign
One soul walks out, one stays behind
No tears fall here, no last goodbye
Just smoke in the sun and a gunshot cry
This is the end of the line I chose
Where the dust don't settle and nobody knows
If I walk away or fall where I stand
When fate shakes hands with a loaded hand
Windows are shut like they've seen it before
The past comes back through a swinging door
I hear my name in the scrape of a chair
In the breath of the wind, in the still, dry air
He's got blood in his smile, I've got ghosts in my chest
We both learned young that the quick draw's a test
Not of courage or right, not of wrong or of sin
Just who's left breathing when silence comes in
This is the hour, this is the sign
One soul walks out, one stays behind
No tears fall here, no last goodbye
Just smoke in the sun and a gunshot cry
This is the end of the line I chose
Where the dust don't settle and nobody knows
If I walk away or fall where I stand
When fate shakes hands with a loaded hand
Three crosses wait on the hill of bone
No preacher sings, no bell is blown
I asked the sky for a reason why
It answered back with a whistle, dry
This is the moment carved in sound
When time slows down and the world spins round
One breath held, then the sky breaks through
With a flash of fire and a truth brand new
This is the end of the dusty path
Where mercy's thin and justice laughs
