Hollow Barrel Blues
TitanChord
I’ve stared down death through a steel-black eye,
Watched men fall and never ask why.
The barrel don’t care, it don’t choose,
It just sings a hollow barrel blues.
Hollow barrel blues,
Cold steel speaks the truth.
Every pull’s a prayer,
Every shot’s the proof.
Smoke curls slow when the night gets loud,
Echoes of blood still haunt the crowd.
I carry my fate like a shadowed muse,
Wrapped tight in hollow barrel blues.
Hollow barrel blues,
Lead don’t ever lose.
Sin rides steady,
On a trigger you choose.
Mercy’s a stranger, truth’s a lie,
I don’t beg and I don’t cry.
The only hymn I ever knew,
Was played by the hollow barrel blues.
Hollow barrel blues,
Dark sky hides the clues.
Every scar I bear,
Is stamped by the barrel’s tune.
Timing is estimated — lines are spaced evenly across the track.

Lyrics
I’ve stared down death through a steel-black eye, Watched men fall and never ask why. The barrel don’t care, it don’t choose, It just sings a hollow barrel blues.
Hollow barrel blues, Cold steel speaks the truth. Every pull’s a prayer, Every shot’s the proof.
Smoke curls slow when the night gets loud, Echoes of blood still haunt the crowd. I carry my fate like a shadowed muse, Wrapped tight in hollow barrel blues.
Hollow barrel blues, Lead don’t ever lose. Sin rides steady, On a trigger you choose.
Mercy’s a stranger, truth’s a lie, I don’t beg and I don’t cry. The only hymn I ever knew, Was played by the hollow barrel blues.
Hollow barrel blues, Dark sky hides the clues. Every scar I bear, Is stamped by the barrel’s tune.
