Lyrics

[Verse]
Out by the railroad, where the long grass grows,
A whistle cried out, and the whole world froze.
Through the pines it echoed, like a ghost’s own plea,
Revealing truths they tried to bury deep and free.

[Verse 2]
Old men in their suits, hiding in the shade,
Hands stained with the deals only devils made.
But that whistle told secrets the breeze couldn’t trust,
Left ‘em choking on their lies, turning greed to dust.

[Chorus]
When the whistle blows, the truth don’t hide,
It cuts through the darkness, like a rising tide.
No matter how deep you dig the hole,
Justice finds a way to tally every soul.

[Verse 3]
The shadows in the barracks, the generals grin,
Built their towers on the backs of their sin.
But the whistle sang out, like a song of revolt,
And every crooked chain came undone at the bolt.

[Bridge]
Sometimes it takes one voice, so small and lone,
To bring a giant to its knees, down to stone.
A fire starts from a single spark,
Burning through the lies, lighting up the dark.

[Verse 4]
Now the folks in the town, they stand real tall,
Chasing out the ghosts that haunted the halls.
The ground might be scorched, but the truth’s sweet wine,
When the whistle blows through the pines.
