Shadow on the Ledger (Alt 1)
TitanChord
“Every man’s got numbers.
Mine are written in blood.”
Ink on the page, but the truth runs red,
Every deal I cut, every word I bled.
No mercy signed, no favor free,
The shadow keeps count — it don’t forget me.
Shadow on the ledger,
Writing every crime.
Shadow on the ledger,
Waiting for my time.
You can’t erase the line —
It’s already mine.
They don’t count the cash, they don’t weigh the gold,
They just mark the sins that never get told.
I play it cool, but the cost is clear,
Every name I signed still whispers here.
Shadow on the ledger,
Writing every crime.
Shadow on the ledger,
Waiting for my time.
You can’t erase the line —
It’s already mine.
“You can buy the whiskey,
You can buy the night.
But the ledger waits…
and it always writes.”
Shadow on the ledger,
Keeps the final score.
Shadow on the ledger,
Knocks on every door.
You can pay in blood —
But it always wants more.
Timing is estimated — lines are spaced evenly across the track.
Want all of it?
This one's free either way. Every song in one zip, plus the lyrics — email, and it's yours.
Lyrics
“Every man’s got numbers. Mine are written in blood.”
Ink on the page, but the truth runs red, Every deal I cut, every word I bled. No mercy signed, no favor free, The shadow keeps count — it don’t forget me.
Shadow on the ledger, Writing every crime. Shadow on the ledger, Waiting for my time. You can’t erase the line — It’s already mine.
They don’t count the cash, they don’t weigh the gold, They just mark the sins that never get told. I play it cool, but the cost is clear, Every name I signed still whispers here.
Shadow on the ledger, Writing every crime. Shadow on the ledger, Waiting for my time. You can’t erase the line — It’s already mine.
“You can buy the whiskey, You can buy the night. But the ledger waits… and it always writes.”
Shadow on the ledger, Keeps the final score. Shadow on the ledger, Knocks on every door. You can pay in blood — But it always wants more.
