The Wind Don’t Carry Names

I asked the wind if it knew mine, It paused, then howled like broken time I’ve left my mark on stone and skin, But the wind don’t carry where I’ve been

The wind don’t carry names, Only dust and quiet flames You can scream into the sky — But it forgets you just the same

I seen men rise with fire in their chest, Burn bright, then fade like all the rest They carved their truth in rust and gold, But the wind don’t keep what can’t be told

The wind don’t carry names, Only echoes, ash, and chains A man might fight, a man might run — But the end forgets his aims

I left no heir, no grave to tend, Just a song without an end If you hear it on a midnight trail, Know I rode it cold and pale

The wind don’t carry names, Just the silence after games I was here, then I was gone — Like a sigh, or just a flame
