Borrowed Time, Bare Hands
TitanChord
I walked the night with empty pockets,
Fought the dark with a heart like a locket.
Every mile was a gamble I didn’t own,
Living on time that was never my own.
Borrowed time, bare hands,
No crown, no gold, no promised land.
I hold the road the best I can,
On borrowed time, with bare hands.
The reaper watched from the canyon high,
I met his stare but I passed him by.
Every scar was a truth I carried long,
But every step wrote a brand-new song.
Borrowed time, bare hands,
No map, no law, no guiding plan.
I ride the night and I make my stand,
On borrowed time, with bare hands.
(Wordless chant in background, deep and haunting: “Borrowed time… bare hands…”)
Borrowed time, bare hands,
I’ll face the fire, I’ll walk the sand.
No grave can claim what the soul withstands,
On borrowed time, with bare hands.
Timing is estimated — lines are spaced evenly across the track.

Lyrics
I walked the night with empty pockets, Fought the dark with a heart like a locket. Every mile was a gamble I didn’t own, Living on time that was never my own.
Borrowed time, bare hands, No crown, no gold, no promised land. I hold the road the best I can, On borrowed time, with bare hands.
The reaper watched from the canyon high, I met his stare but I passed him by. Every scar was a truth I carried long, But every step wrote a brand-new song.
Borrowed time, bare hands, No map, no law, no guiding plan. I ride the night and I make my stand, On borrowed time, with bare hands.
(Wordless chant in background, deep and haunting: “Borrowed time… bare hands…”)
Borrowed time, bare hands, I’ll face the fire, I’ll walk the sand. No grave can claim what the soul withstands, On borrowed time, with bare hands.
