(Verse 2)
Each market fed their wagons, then entrusted them with blame,
A grievance wrapped in paper and a settlement’s true name.
They carried Scar ethics where the White had marked the land,
And rescue codes from sailors who had learned the open hand.

(Chorus)
The Congress Road ran farther than the banners they had known,
For no one reached the table with a right to claim the throne.
They came to speak for many, but not silence every voice,
To meet as human neighbours and make uncertainty a choice.

(Verse 3)
The mountain passes tested every promise made below,
While flooded roads and fever gates delayed the westward flow.
Each host demanded hearing for the losses at its door,
And warned that distant councils must not make the world once more.

(Verse 4)
No city stood as neutral, no safe harbour carried none,
For prestige followed hosting like a shadow from the sun.
Yet still the road kept gathering the languages of need,
Until a common table seemed a harder kind of deed.

(Bridge)
They brought the law of rescue and the limits set on Scars,
The names of vanished stations and the charts of broken stars.
They knew a world assembled might become a world controlled,
So every seat was answerable to the roads that made it hold.

(Outro)
The road became the question every delegate must bear,
Could humanity meet openly without one master there?
They walked towards the table with no promise they would blend,
But proved the world could gather without claiming it must end.

(Verse 1) They left the river courts beneath a cold and widening sky, With witness seals and medicine packed carefully and dry. Interpreters beside them bore the names each House had said, And healers carried fever law for strangers still ahead. (Verse 2) Each market fed their wagons, then entrusted them with blame, A grievance wrapped in paper and a settlement’s true name. They carried Scar ethics where the White had marked the land, And rescue codes from sailors who had learned the open hand. (Chorus) The Congress Road ran farther than the banners they had known, For no one reached the table with a right to claim the throne. They came to speak for many, but not silence every voice, To meet as human neighbours and make uncertainty a choice. (Verse 3) The mountain passes tested every promise made below, While flooded roads and fever gates delayed the westward flow. Each host demanded hearing for the losses at its door, And warned that distant councils must not make the world once more. (Verse 4) No city stood as neutral, no safe harbour carried none, For prestige followed hosting like a shadow from the sun. Yet still the road kept gathering the languages of need, Until a common table seemed a harder kind of deed. (Chorus) The Congress Road ran farther than the banners they had known, For no one reached the table with a right to claim the throne.
