Trail of a Thousand Promises (Alt 2)
TitanChord
I gave my word more times than I can count,
Each one broke me just a little more.
I patched my heart with blood and doubt,
And kept on knockin’ on a locked-up door.
They said “forgive,” I said “I tried.”
But kindness died the night you lied.
There’s a trail of a thousand promises,
All buried where my mercy died.
I held my fire when I should’ve burned,
Hoped a good man might return.
But love’s a ghost in a preacher’s mouth,
And I’m the sin he warned about.
They said “forgive,” I said “I tried.”
But kindness died the night you lied.
There’s a trail of a thousand promises,
And I’m the last one still alive.
Ain’t no saints ridin’ in this storm,
Just outlaws shaped by bein’ torn.
If God still listens, He knows I bled —
Not for vengeance, but what you said.
They said “forgive,” I said “I tried.”
Now I ride where the fallen hide.
A trail of a thousand promises,
And every one of ’em lied.
Timing is estimated — lines are spaced evenly across the track.

Lyrics
I gave my word more times than I can count, Each one broke me just a little more. I patched my heart with blood and doubt, And kept on knockin’ on a locked-up door.
They said “forgive,” I said “I tried.” But kindness died the night you lied. There’s a trail of a thousand promises, All buried where my mercy died.
I held my fire when I should’ve burned, Hoped a good man might return. But love’s a ghost in a preacher’s mouth, And I’m the sin he warned about.
They said “forgive,” I said “I tried.” But kindness died the night you lied. There’s a trail of a thousand promises, And I’m the last one still alive.
Ain’t no saints ridin’ in this storm, Just outlaws shaped by bein’ torn. If God still listens, He knows I bled — Not for vengeance, but what you said.
They said “forgive,” I said “I tried.” Now I ride where the fallen hide. A trail of a thousand promises, And every one of ’em lied.
