The Cold Weight of Steel: A Song About a Gun
This isn't a celebration of violence; it's a somber reflection on the complex emotions and realities surrounding firearms. This song explores the multifaceted nature of a gun, from its potential for destruction to the uneasy comfort it can offer some.
(Verse 1) Cold steel in my hand, a weight I understand, Not of metal, but of fear, a future unclear. A silent promise held, a story to be told, Of power and of dread, the living and the dead. It sleeps in shadows deep, secrets it will keep, A potential born of might, swallowed by the night.
(Chorus) Oh, the cold weight of steel, a burden I can feel, A heavy price to pay, for each passing day. A tool, a weapon, more, a symbol at the core, Of choices yet to make, destinies at stake.
(Verse 2) The hammer's silent click, a moment sharp and quick, Reflecting in my eyes, a darkness that belies The fragile peace I crave, the life I long to save. It whispers in the dark, a sinister remark, About control and fear, the voices I can hear, Whispering promises, of power and of thisses.
(Chorus) Oh, the cold weight of steel, a burden I can feel, A heavy price to pay, for each passing day. A tool, a weapon, more, a symbol at the core, Of choices yet to make, destinies at stake.
(Bridge) Is it a shield or sword? A protector or abhorred? A symbol of our flaws, breaking nature's laws. It hangs upon the wall, a silent sentinel, A constant, stark reminder, of the darkness we must hinder.
(Verse 3) The trigger's smooth embrace, a dangerous, empty space, Between life and death's divide, where choices must collide. Responsibility's cold hand, upon this sacred land, Weighs heavy on my soul, taking its bitter toll.
(Chorus) Oh, the cold weight of steel, a burden I can feel, A heavy price to pay, for each passing day. A tool, a weapon, more, a symbol at the core, Of choices yet to make, destinies at stake.
(Outro) The cold weight of steel, a story it reveals, Of choices, consequence, and human impotence. A silent, heavy weight, sealed by cruelest fate, A reminder, ever present, of the power we misspent.
