The Gunsling

[Intro]

Standin' alone in the soot and stone

He draws from his holster, a man

Crawlin' alone through the soot and stone

He makes his way home half to death

In time, and in vain

I wash my hands of yesterday

And if I should fall, if I should pass

It's worth one last stand

Before the gates

Before the gates of hell

Crawlin' alone in the soot and stone

He makes his way home half to death

Standin' alone in the soot and stone

He draws from his holster, a man

[Verse 1]

When sun sets dusk and streets are cleared

Well this town's renegade is near

Out standing tall, awaiting host

What's it like to see a ghost?

Both outlaws equal, yes indeed

One shot rhythm to the gunsling

So long, my sweet (Bye, bye)

[Chorus]

Standin' alone through the soot and stone

He draws from his holster, a man

Crawling alone through the soot and stone

He makes his way home half to death

[Verse 2]

He clenched his fists and said a prayer

For every breath of dusty air

He fires loud, waiting heroes

What's it like to be a ghost?

Both outlaws equal, yes indeed

One shot rhythm to the gunsling

So long my sweet

[Pre-Chorus]

I hear those voices shouting

"Take my life"

I cannot take mine lying down

No

[Chorus]

Standin' alone in soot and stone

He draws from his holster, a man

Crawling alone through the soot and stone

He makes his way home half to death

[Bridge]

In time (In time)

In vain (In vain)

I wash my hands of yesterday

If I should fall (If I should fall)

If I should pass

It's worth one last stand

Before the gates of hell

Before the gates of hell

Before the gates of hell

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]

I hear those voices shouting

"Take my life"

I cannot take mine lying down

No

[Chorus]

Standin' alone through the soot and stone

He draws from his holster, a man

Crawlin' alone through the soot and stone

He makes his way home half to death

[Outro]

In time (In time)

In vain (In vain)

I wash my hands of yesterday

If I should fall (If I should fall)

If I should pass

It's worth one last stand

Before the gates of hell

No
