What does "sheets of lead" mean here? Hello, In the following context, does "sheets of lead" refer to lead as a metal or to musical sheets? and what does the writer mean by that? Thank you in advanced! "The little hero," an amused voice echoed far down in the darkness. "Too weak, too young, but perhaps you will do." The voice felt ancient—cold and heavy. It wrapped around me like sheets of lead. "They have misled you, boy," it said. "Barter with me. I will give you what you want."
