[Intro]
They drew a line on paper,
We crossed it in the dust.
They called it law and order,
We called it broken trust.

[Verse]
South by night and north by thunder,
Riders low against the moon,
Hooves like rain on desert gravel,
Rifles singing out of tune.
Behind us came the iron columns,
Ahead the canyon opened wide,
Every mile a stolen heartbeat,
Every shadow on our side.

[Pre-Chorus]
Maps can lie and flags can tremble,
Mountains do not bend or kneel.
We were born where eagles wander,
Not where strangers set their seal.

[Chorus]
Across the Border, into the flame,
No chain can hold a desert name.
Ride through hunger, dust, and mortar,
We are still free Across the Border.

[Verse]
Children slept beneath the saddle,
Women carried fire and bread,
Old men watched the stars for omens,
Young men counted boots of lead.
Every spring became salvation,
Every ravine hid our trail,
And the wind erased our footprints
Like a prayer that would not fail.

[Pre-Chorus]
They could follow, they could thunder,
They could curse the burning plain,
But the land became our brother,
And the sky concealed our pain.

[Chorus]
Across the Border, into the flame,
No chain can hold a desert name.
Ride through hunger, dust, and mortar,
We are still free Across the Border.

[Instrumental]
Fast drums rolling, guitars riding,
Choirs shouting, strings colliding.

[Bridge]
Who owns the river when it’s running?
Who owns the hawk above the stone?
Who owns the road beneath the lightning
When the night becomes your home?

[Breakdown]
No border for the wind.
No border for the rain.
No border for the hunted heart
That rises through the pain.

[Build-up]
Ride, ride, do not fall,
Hear the canyon answer all.

[Chorus]
Across the Border, into the flame,
No chain can hold a desert name.
Ride through hunger, dust, and mortar,
We are still free Across the Border.

[Chorus]
Across the Border, under the stars,
Past the smoke of distant wars.
When they swear the trail is shorter,
We disappear Across the Border.

[Outro]
They drew a line on paper,
We crossed it in the dust.
They called it law and order,
We called it broken trust.
