This is the second song and the concept album Honor & Vengeance.
It tells the part of the story where the main character is hunted down.
[Verse 1]
I see death in the distance, I hear an awful laugh
I feel the bullets bearly miss upon my back
Four horsemen ride behind me, I think my time has come
I brace myself and grip the body of my gun
[Verse 2]
Four vultures fly above me, a sign of things to come
Their eyes watch closely in the hope that we succumb
There is no hope for justice, there is no right or wrong
Only the acceptence that death will overcome
[Bridge]
Fire cross thе sky, the desert's lullaby
[Verse 3]
I'vе got six bullets to go, I fire off one by one
Three hunters fell down, but one is still riding on
He fires off two more bullets, one hits me in the thigh
The other grazes my cheek as I crumble thereby
[Bridge]
Fire cross the sky, the desert's lullaby
Fire cross the sky, the desert's lullaby
[Verse 4]
He rides up slowly to me, says I'll pay for what I've done
He'll haul me back to town, to hang under the sun
