Lyrics
--------------------------------
Description:
As steam erupts, the Iron Fortress awakens and begins to run.
Emotion accelerates like pressure—blurring as it nears, sharpening as it drifts away.
In a world that never stops, this distance is the only thing that truly exists.
蒸気が噴き上がる瞬間、アイアンフォートレスは目を覚まし、走り出す。
感情は圧力のまま加速し、近づけば揺らぎ、離れれば鋭く残る。
止まることのない世界で、この距離だけが確かに存在している。

Tik… tok… still breathing
Iron Fortress Train
[Drop]
Through soot-veiled halls I call
Rust and memory start to fall
Names dissolve inside the heat
Still alive beneath the beat
Turn the wheel or let it break
No return for what we take
Time engraves on iron bones
No rewind—just moving—on
Even if the past is gone
Still the train runs— Nonstop—on
[Drop]
Fragments trapped in rusted lines
Echoes loop through broken time
I don’t know what I became
Still I run without a name
[Female]
Your voice breaks in the steam
Memory dissolves mid-speed
[Male]
cut the line, don’t rewind
clock still eats what’s left behind
rust inside, still aligned
move ahead, no second time
name erased, still defined
running blind, still confined
no return, no design
just a loop that won’t unwind
[Drop]
Time engraves on iron bones
No rewind—just moving—on
Even if the past is gone
Still the train runs— Nnonstop—on
Iron Fortress Train…
Iron Fortress Train…

--------------------------------
Tik… tok… still breathing
Iron Fortress Train
[Drop]
煤に覆われた回廊で 俺は呼びかける
錆びと記憶が 剥がれ落ちていく
熱の中で 名前は溶けていく
それでもビートの下で まだ生きている
回すのか それとも壊すのか
選んだものに 戻り道はない
Time engraves on iron bones
No rewind—just moving—on
Even if the past is gone
Still the train runs— Nonstop—on
//鉄の骨に刻まれた時間
//巻き戻しはしない――ただ進むだけ
//過去が過ぎ去っても
//列車は止まることなく走り続ける
[Drop]
錆びついた軌道に 閉じ込められた断片
壊れた時間の中で 反響はループする
自分が何になったのかも分からない
それでも名もなく 走り続けている
[Female]
その声は蒸気の中で途切れていく
記憶は速度の中で 溶けていく
[Male]
ラインを断て 巻き戻すな
残されたものさえ 時計は喰い続ける
内側は錆びても まだ揃っている
前に進め 二度目はない
名前は消えても 定義だけは残る
盲目のまま 閉じ込められている
戻ることはない 設計もない
ほどけることのない ただのループ
[Drop]
Time engraves on iron bones
No rewind—just moving—on
Even if the past is gone
Still the train runs— Nonstop—on
//鉄の骨に刻まれた時間
//巻き戻しはしない――ただ進むだけ
//過去が過ぎ去っても
//列車は止まることなく走り続ける
Iron Fortress Train…
Iron Fortress Train…
[End]
