INHERITED SCAR
THE RUSTBORN
1st Album：INHERITED SCAR
これは勝利の歌ではない。華々しい帰還でもない。
ただ、剥き出しの遺産。
骨にまで染みた砂。
そして、今もなおここに居るという事実。
慈悲はない。
ブレーキもない。
ただ、傷跡があるだけだ。
遺産。
そして、傷跡。
作詞、作曲、映像制作。
そのすべてを、己の哲学を形にするためだけに独力で完結させた。
ゴリゴリのロックからバラードまで。
独り自分自身と向き合って作り上げた、THE RUSTBORNの質感。
4月5日、解禁。
produced by talone.

01. MARK OF LANDER
乾いた大地への激突。着陸ではなく、この場所を己の領土とするための宣戦布告。
The sky is lead, the ground is stone
Circled this hell all on my own
Fuel is black, the wings are torn
But a new dictator has been born!
I’m dropping lead, I’m shedding the fear
The moment of impact is finally here
There ain't no runway, there ain't no light
Just a brutal collision in the middle of the night!
Break the gear!
Feel the heat!
I’m coming down...
To the broken street!
BRACE THE BONE!
CRACK THE STONE!
I’M TAKING THE THRONE!
MARK OF LANDER!
Scar on the earth!
MARK OF LANDER!
A violent birth!
I’m carving my name in the dirt and the rust!
Turning the world into gold and dust!
I’M HOME NOW!
I’M HERE!
WITHOUT A DAMN FEAR!
I didn't come for peace, I didn't come to rest
I came to put the soil to the ultimate test
Let the crater be wide, let the smoke rise high
I’m the only one who didn't fall from the sky
The harvest is anger, the crop is the bone
I’m guarding the gates all on my own
Lace your boots, face the gale
I’M THE DAMN HAMMER THAT’LL NEVER FAIL!
MARK OF LANDER!
Scar on the earth!
MARK OF LANDER!
A violent birth!
I don't need a savior!
I don't need a light!
I’M THE LORD OF THE WASTELAND...
WINNING THE FIGHT!
Deep in the dirt.
Still breathing.
My mark...
Is forever.
--------------------------------------------------
02. CROSS BORN
相反する要素が交差する地点。逃げ場のない場所で、自らの手で築いた領域の記録。
Two paths colliding in a desert storm
In the heat of the wreckage, a spirit was formed
I ain’t a saint and I ain’t a slave
Just a ghost dancing on an open grave
The blood in the iron, the dust in the bone
I carved this kingdom all on my own
No turning back, no place to run
Staring straight into the black-hole sun
The hammer is falling, the lightning is near
The sound of the struggle is all that I hear
CROSS BORN! Under a jagged sky
CROSS BORN! Too stubborn to die
It’s the intersection of the fire and the rain
The sacred mark of the pride and the pain
WE ARE THE RUSTBORN, hear the thunder roar
I’m the CROSS BORN, forever more!
The scars tell a story that the tongue can’t say
Of the miles I’ve crawled in the burning grey
I’m the bridge between the hell and the height
A jagged shadow in the dead of night
Don’t ask for mercy, don’t look for the gate
I’m the architect of my own damn fate
Born at the cross...
Baptized in rust...
Rising from ashes...
Returning to dust!
CROSS BORN! Under a jagged sky
CROSS BORN! Too stubborn to die
It’s the intersection of the fire and the rain
The sacred mark of the pride and the pain
WE ARE THE RUSTBORN, hear the thunder roar
I’m the CROSS BORN, forever more!
Cross Born...
Yeah, I'm the one.
--------------------------------------------------
03. REVERSE THE COLD
「動くから、勇敢になれる」。既存の因果を逆転させ、停滞を破壊するためのトリガー。
You wait for the spark to start the fire
Waiting for the "right time" to climb the wire
But the mirror is lying, the reflection is dead
Everything you know is upside down in your head
Confidence ain't a gift, it's a debt you pay
By dragging your broken bones through the day!
Listen close to the engine’s roar
Everything is opposite of what you saw!
FEEL THE HEAT!
BREAK THE COLD!
THE TRUTH IS GOLD!
IT’S ALL REVERSED! EVERYTHING’S BACKWARDS!
You don’t move 'cause you’re brave—you’re brave 'cause you move!
You don’t try 'cause you’ve got time—you make time to improve!
Success ain't the reason to stay in the game
It’s the one who stays who will carry the flame!
REVERSE THE COLD!
SCAR THE SOUL!
TAKE CONTROL!
The world won’t change to give you a chance
Life is a war, not a graceful dance
Don’t wait for the wind to shift in your favor
The rust on your skin is the only flavor
Environment is just a cage with no key
Until you break the bars and decide to be free!
IT’S ALL REVERSED! EVERYTHING’S BACKWARDS!
You don’t move 'cause you’re brave—you’re brave 'cause you move!
You don’t try 'cause you’ve got time—you make time to improve!
Life doesn't change when the world turns around
It changes the moment you leave the ground!
REVERSE THE COLD!
SCAR THE SOUL!
I’M IN CONTROL!
Move first.
Think later.
My mark...
My scar.
--------------------------------------------------
04. SCAR
身体に刻まれた記憶の地図。隠すべき傷ではなく、生き延びた事実を証明する唯一の輪郭。
Take a look at the map on my skin
The lines of the places that I’ve been
Every cut is a story I survived
A jagged proof that I’m still alive
It ain’t pretty, and it ain’t clean
The messiest truth you’ve ever seen
I don’t hide 'em under the sleeve
They’re the only things I still believe.
It didn't kill me.
It just made me deep.
A secret...
That I’m gonna keep.
TOUCH THE RIDGE.
FEEL THE TEAR.
I’M STILL HERE.
SCAR!
The crown I wear!
SCAR!
The cross I bear!
It’s the ink of the struggle! The blood of the past!
The only thing built in this world to last!
CUT ME DEEP!
WATCH ME STAND!
WITH THIS SHAKING HAND!
I don’t want a miracle, I don’t want a cure
I like the edges, raw and pure
They remind me of the fire, they remind me of the fall
And how I climbed back over the wall
Let 'em stare, let 'em judge the sight
I’m a man who’s been through the night
I’m the wreckage, I’m the prize
With the truth burning in my eyes.
SCAR!
The crown I wear!
SCAR!
The cross I bear!
I don't need a savior!
I don't need a light!
I’M THE ONE...
WHO WON THE FIGHT!
Count 'em up.
Every one.
I’m still here...
When the day is done.
--------------------------------------------------
05. HEAT OF CHROME
冷徹な鉄の中に宿る熱。暗闇から光へ踏み出す、生存への執着。
The rain has stopped, but the streets are wet
Mirroring a sun that hasn't set yet
I’ve got scars on my hands and dust in my soul
Trying to make this broken man whole
The road was long, and the night was cold
But I’m still holding what I’m meant to hold
I’m tired of the shadows.
I’m tired of the gray.
I’m gonna find a reason...
To live another day!
MY HEART IS MADE OF CHROME!
Shining on the way back home!
It’s been beaten, it’s been bruised
But it’s a light that’ll never be used!
I’M SCREAMING AT THE GATES OF DAWN!
TELLING THE FEAR THAT I’M MOVING ON!
IT’S A BEAUTIFUL PAIN! A GLORIOUS FIGHT!
WALKING OUT INTO THE LIGHT!
I used to think the rust would win
That I was just a ghost of who I’d been
But even a wreck can find its way
If it’s driven by the ghost of a better day
So let the wind howl, let the thunder roll
They can’t touch the fire inside my soul
One more mile.
One more breath.
Life is winning...
Over death.
--------------------------------------------------
06. DUST-EATER
荒野を疾走する狂気。限界を超えた速度で、視界にあるすべてを飲み込む。
Needle’s buried!
Tank is dry!
I’m drinking the horizon!
I’m kissing the sky!
There’s a demon in the engine, a ghost on the roof
I’m living the lie, I’m the living proof!
No brakes on the steel! No mercy on the road!
I’m about to let this whole thing explode!
Spit the chrome!
Taste the grit!
I’m the only one...
Who hasn't quit!
EYES ON THE SUN!
FOOT ON THE LEAD!
GIVE ME THE SPEED!
DUST-EATER!
Choking on the heat!
DUST-EATER!
Dancing on the concrete!
I’m the king of the rust! I’m the lord of the light!
I’m the only flame burning in the middle of the night!
CATCH ME IF YOU CAN!
KILL ME IF YOU DARE!
DUST-EATER!
They’re coming for the water, they’re coming for the oil
I’m the snake in the sand, I’m the fire in the coil!
Got a skull on the dash and a hole in the floor
I’m screaming for more! I’M SCREAMING FOR MORE!
The harvest is black! The crop is smoke!
Life’s a massacre! Death’s a joke!
DUST-EATER!
Choking on the heat!
DUST-EATER!
Dancing on the concrete!
I don't need a savior!
I don't need a light!
I’m the ghost of the highway...
BORN TO FIGHT!
EAT THE DUST.
--------------------------------------------------
07. FUEL IN THE RUST
錆びついた過去を燃料に変える。壊れたままで加速するための、独自のアップグレード。
I used to pray for the rain to stop
Counting the seconds, watching the drop
But now I’m soaked, and I’m feeling fine
The mud in my veins is the heat in my line
Don’t tell me 'bout a brighter day
I like the shadows where I play
Every crack and every stain
Is a goddamn map of what I gain!
Maybe it's ugly, maybe it's cold
But I'm the owner of this wreckage I hold
No more hiding, no more fear
The sound of the engine is all I hear!
BURN!
Burn the rust and make it fuel!
CRASH!
The wreckage is my golden rule!
I ain’t looking for a holy light
I’m the fire in the middle of the night!
Fuel in the rust!
Fuel in the rust!
They sell hope in a shiny box
But I’m the one picking all the locks
I don't need a heaven that's clean and white
I need the grit to win this fight
Lace my boots, feel the ground
I'm the king of the lost and found
Meaningless? Maybe so.
But watch how fast this ghost can go!
Maybe it's ugly, maybe it's cold
But I'm the owner of this wreckage I hold
No more hiding...
No more fear!
BURN!
Burn the rust and make it fuel!
CRASH!
The wreckage is my golden rule!
I ain’t looking for a holy light
I’m the fire in the middle of the night!
Fuel in the rust!
Fuel in the rust!
I’m not broken.
I’m not dying.
I’m just...
UPGRADED!
BURN!
Burn the rust and make it fuel!
CRASH!
The wreckage is my golden rule!
No destiny calling, no voice to obey
I am the reason I move today!
FUEL IN THE RUST!
FUEL IN THE RUST!
I’M THE FIRE!
STILL MOVING!
STILL BURNING!
--------------------------------------------------
08. THE LAST POUR
最後の一杯。感傷をカウンターに置き去りにし、過去から決別するための静かな儀式。
"One more for the road," I said
A tired lie I’ve used a thousand times
But the neon sign is flickering red
And the clock on the wall is losing its mind
The amber’s fading in the glass
Watered down like the years we spent
I watched the ghost of "us" pass
And wondered where the fire went
The bartender’s wiping down the counter
The shadows are stretching across the floor
I’m reaching for a hand that isn’t there
One foot already out the door
When I finish this last pour
I’m leaving every memory on the wood
I won’t look back at that door
Even though I know I probably should
The burn in my throat, the ache in my chest
It’s the only way I know how to say goodbye
I’m giving this ghost a place to rest
Underneath a charcoal sky
I wasn’t brave then, but I’m trying now
To let you go without a sound
I used to think that love was a flame
Something to keep the winter at bay
But now it’s just a whispered name
In a bar that’s seen better days
You’re not coming through that light
I’ve stopped watching the handle turn
I’m just a man in the middle of the night
With a lesson I didn't want to learn
The ice is gone, the drink is cold
The story’s been told and told and told
I’m holding on to a glass of air
Pretending that you’re still sitting there
When I finish this last pour
I’m leaving every memory on the wood
I won’t look back at that door
Even though I know I probably should
The burn in my throat, the ache in my chest
It’s the only way I know how to say goodbye
I’m giving this ghost a place to rest
Underneath a charcoal sky
I wasn’t brave then, but I’m trying now
To let you go without a sound
The last drop hits the tongue like lead
Everything’s been done, everything’s been said
Just one more...
No...
No more.
--------------------------------------------------
09. STILL HERE
生存証明。すべてを失ってもなお、まだここに居る。その単純で圧倒的な事実。
I lost the house, I lost the pride
I lost the ones I had inside
I’ve walked through fire, I’ve swallowed glass
Watching the years and the shadows pass
They thought I’d break, they thought I’d fall
But I’m still standing against the wall
The dust is heavy, the air is thin
But look at the fight I’m still in.
The clock is broken.
The sky is gray.
But I’m not...
Going away!
I’M STILL HERE!
With the scars to prove it!
I’M STILL HERE!
And you can’t remove it!
I’m the record that’s scratched but still plays the song!
The ghost of the weak who finally got strong!
I’M BREATHING!
I’M BLEEDING!
BUT I’M STILL HERE!
I look in the mirror, what do I see?
The man that the world tried to take from me
Every wrinkle is a mountain I climbed
Every silence is a bell I chimed
I don’t want your pity, I don’t want your grace
I just want you to look at my face
I’m the wreckage that’s glowing in the dark
I’m the stone that’s still holding the spark.
I’M STILL HERE!
With the scars to prove it!
I’M STILL HERE!
And you can’t remove it!
I don't need a heaven!
I don't need a light!
I’M THE ONE...
WHO SURVIVED THE NIGHT!
I’m still here.
You hear me?
Still here.
