A Man’s Oath Weighs Heavier Than Lead

“A man’s word… is heavier than the bullet that kills him.”

I swore my oath with a steady hand, Not on paper, not in sand. Steel don’t bend, and men don’t break, If their vow is more than they can take.

Every promise carved in stone, Every oath a man must own.

A man’s oath weighs heavier than lead, It’s the last word spoken before the dead. No lie survives, no coward stands, When an oath is bound by blood and hands.

A man can lose his home, his name, But his word decides his shame. Better to bleed than break that vow, Better to burn than to bow.

A man’s oath weighs heavier than lead, It’s the crown of the living, the curse of the dead. No silver buys it, no devil bends, It’s the one truth a man defends.

I ain’t rich, I ain’t saved, But my word’s the only thing I gave. And if I die before I’m bled, Remember… my oath was heavier than lead.

A man’s oath weighs heavier than lead, The fire fades, but the vow won’t end. Carved in scars, in blood it’s said, A man’s oath… weighs heavier than lead.

“Heavier than lead.”
