Der Schluss des Albums: kein Colt, keine offene Rechnung, nur ein Mann, der an seiner eigenen Legende vorbeireitet. Über das Loslassen, den Frieden im Weiterziehen und einen Schatten, der zurückschießt.
The horizon don't care who I used to be
No wanted signs waiting, no crowd cheering me
Just sagebrush whispering secrets to wind
And the road that keeps stretching where endings begin
I pass through the towns that once called my name
Now they got schools and they got new graves
The statues they built are already cracked
Time don't remember the speed of my act
Every mile feels lighter, every shadow stays long
I'm not running from trouble, I'm just moving on
I'm riding past my own legend, letting it fade
No gun in my hand, no debt left unpaid
The stories keep growing without my voice
While I ride through the silence, making my choice
Riding past my own legend, dust in my wake
The man disappears, but the myth won't break
I shoot at the shadows that follow too close
But the real one's the one that nobody knows
A kid on the porch waved once as I passed
He didn't know the name on the posters of brass
His mother just smiled, said "Safe travels, stranger"
No fear in her eyes, no need for a savior
I tipped my hat low, kept the horse at a walk
No rush anymore, no reason to talk
The West keeps on changing, fences rise high
I'm just a line in a book that won't lie
If the shadow outruns me one day in the sun
Maybe that's freedom, maybe that's done
No more towns to save, no more chains to unlock
Just a man on a horse and the tick of the clock
Riding past my own legend, into the blue
Where the stories don't need me, and I don't need you
I leave no tracks worth following long
Just a whisper of dust when the daylight is gone
They'll sing of the man who shot faster than shade
But the man who kept riding never got made
I shoot the shadow, but the shadow shoots back
And we ride on together down this endless track
